Upper Adelaide Street, Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, G84 7HT

Dunfillan is a large main door ground floor conversion that forms part of a handsome blonde sandstone Victorian mansion house built in 1871. Located in the upper part of east Helensburgh in a conservation area, the property enjoys magnificent private garden grounds to the front and side and it also takes in amazing views south across Helensburgh and the Firth of Clyde.

On entering the grounds, a gravelled driveway leads to a sizeable parking and driveway area in front of the property. The front garden features a bedded area and a large expanse of lawn, with a mature tree at the focal point and boundaries provided by mature hedging and fencing. The gardens continue around the side of the house and this area enjoys all day long sunshine being south and west facing. Again, there are lawned areas here, along with bedded borders, paved paths and an ornamental pond adjacent to the conservatory. To the right hand side of the driveway is an outbuilding that consists of a garage, workshop area and storage. There is also a greenhouse included in the sale.

On entering the property from the front, an outer vestibule leads in to an exceptional reception hall which in turn gives access to all of the main rooms. To the front of the property, the incredible bay windowed drawing room is a real statement room and features intricate cornice work, a living flame gas fire and a concealed storage cupboard at the back of the room. Also to the front of the property is the master bedroom which is a generously proportioned double room with a run of built-in wardrobes along one wall and with its own ensuite, wc and wash hand basin. Behind this bedroom is the second bedroom with wash hand basin and window to the side and behind this, the third bedroom which is currently used as a comfortable and cosy sitting room. On the other side of the hall to the rear of the drawing is a games room which could be used as an additional bedroom and adjacent to the games room is an adjoining dressing room/study area with wash hand basin which could be converted in to an ensuite if required. A passageway from the rear of the main reception hall gives access to a laundry room, wc compartment, boiler cupboard and a stunning dining room that features a natural stone wall and gives access out to a sizeable conservatory overlooking the gardens to the side. From the dining room there is a door in to a well proportioned kitchen with adjoining utility area and from here there is a door out to a pathway leading to the gardens at the side. Finally at the very rear of the passageway is a further bedroom and the main bathroom which has a separate bath and shower. The property features mainly timber framed single glazed sash and case windows, however, the kitchen, bathroom and rear bedroom have replacement double glazed units in place. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.

Upper Adelaide Street is in a conservation area on the upper east side of Helensburgh and is a small residential street, home to only a handful of properties mainly dating back to the Victorian era. With almost no traffic passing the front door, this is a peaceful place to live, yet it is within easy reach of the town centre. Helensburgh provides a good selection of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes, along with banks and a post office. Local train stations within the town provide services to Glasgow, Edinburgh, up the West Highland Line and even a sleeper to London. Helensburgh has good schooling (both at primary and secondary level) along with private education at the nearby Lomond School. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance and the international airport can be reached via the A82, Erskine Bridge and M8 motorway. Helensburgh is great for those who enjoy outdoor activities, with some magnificent scenery within a short drive, along with a number of leisure and sports facilities in and round the town. There is great sailing on the River Clyde and the nearby Gareloch. EPC Band - E.
