raiglamont 1 Westbourne Drive, Bearsden

A substantial sandstone semi-detached Edwardian home, extended above its large tandem garage to provide an additional two apartments and a further bathroom. The result is a sizeable family home, affording some 2,500 sq. ft. of accommodation, configured as three public rooms, five bedrooms, study (bedroom six), kitchen, utility/ laundry, two bathrooms, en-suite shower and toilet. The house has been in the ownership of our client for several decades, and has been a very happy and much loved family home. Its specification, however, is dated and, in this respect, clients should note that a programme of modernising and upgrading will be required to bring the décor, fittings and most services to contemporary standards. This has been reflected in the price and allows the purchaser great scope to import their own design, specification and budget. Similar homes in the drive have sold previously for considerably higher figures. That said, the house has, fundamentally, been looked after, with elements of modernisation including the renewal of the central heating boiler (December 2007), the installation of the aforementioned en-suite shower room to the master bedroom and the fitting of an electric remote controlled garage door. Many of the original features have been retained, including fireplaces, cornicing, ceiling plasterwork, doors and, most significantly, one of the prettiest staircases we have seen in Bearsden just a delightful feature off the property s reception hall. In summary, the subjects comprise entrance vestibule, reception hall with its wonderful sweeping staircase ascending to the first floor, a broad bay windowed lounge with laygate fireplace, a large formal dining room with an original painted wooden fireplace with glazed tiled inlay and gas bar fire, a cosy little snug off a breakfasting sized kitchen, with the kitchen having a range of older styled limed oak units and appliances (no warranty given) of four burner gas hob, electric oven, fridge and dishwasher. To the rear of the house is a large utility/laundry room with stone floor, Belfast sink and a gardener s toilet. In this utility/laundry, there is a fridge freezer, a washing machine and a tumble drier (again, no warranty given). To complete the ground floor accommodation, off the reception hall a downstairs toilet has been created with w.c. and w.h.b.. Upstairs, within the original part of the house, there are four bedrooms, including a bay windowed master bedroom in which an en-suite shower room has been created, with three piece modern suite, including an over-sized shower enclosure with an electric Mira Advance shower unit. Bedrooms two, three and four are all doubles, serviced by a family bathroom with three piece cream coloured suite with a Triton thermostatic shower unit, operating off the central heating, over the bath. The extension is accessed via a smaller staircase from the reception hall to the additional rooms that form the extension over the garage this staircase leads to an upper hallway where you will find two further bedrooms (a good size double with fitted wardrobes) and a second single bedroom, which is used as a study. To service these two bedrooms (bedrooms five and six) is a three piece bathroom with a pampas coloured suite. 3

Gardens The garden was very much a passion for our client and the house enjoys a southerly aspect at the rear with a fully enclosed and very private garden. Lawns are featured to front and rear with lots of interesting plants, shrubs and specimen trees to provide interest throughout the year. A gravel drive provides off street parking for a number of cars, with the driveway leading to the aforementioned tandem garage. A handsome set of original stone steps ascend from the driveway to the front door, providing a rather nice first feature.
