***CLOSING DATE THURSDAY 11 JULY AT 12 NOON***

Dating back to the turn of the 20th century, this very pretty stone built semi-detached villa is deceptively spacious and offers exceptional accommodation that extends to almost 1700 square feet in total. The property is tucked away in a quiet location, towards the end of East Princes Street and enjoys beautiful, mature and sheltered gardens to the front and rear. On entering the property, a gravelled driveway provides parking for several vehicles to the front and leads to a single car garage at the side. There is a central lawn to the front, enclosed by mature, well trimmed and colourful hedging, bushes, plants and shrubs. To the rear, the gardens are a particular feature, with a large expanse of lawn enclosed on three sides by mature trees, hedging and fencing. The gardens are great for children and for entertaining. At the far end of the garden is a raised decked terrace/sitting area adjacent to a brick wall at the back. To the side of the house and accessed from the rear garden is a sheltered, enclosed and slabbed patio area with timber fencing to one side and from here there is a gate leading through to the front gardens and with a courtesy door at the rear of the garage.

The interior of the property is in beautiful condition and combines many fine period details including timber doors, skirtings and architraves, along with high ceilings and a feature fireplace in the main lounge. The house is also finished to a very modern specification and the current owners have added a wood burning stove in the lounge, fully refitted the upstairs family bathroom and have completely redecorated and recarpeted the property throughout. The layout of the house is fantastic for family living and it combines spacious, well proportioned rooms and a flexible bedroom layout with four bedrooms in the main part of the house and an additional fifth bedroom/study located above the dining room. On entering, an outer vestibule with twin timber storm doors leads through into a beautiful and welcoming reception hall with an elegant staircase to the upper landing. From here there is access to the main lounge at the front of the house which has a bay window overlooking the gardens. It features a beautiful timber fire surround with a wood burning stove at its focal point and to the side of this is a shelved recessed alcove. Moving to the rear of the property the large, bright and open plan family and dining room area features a timber floor and in the family area there is a further wood burning stove and recessed alcove to one side. There is a window here looking towards the back gardens. The dining room area at the other end of the room has French doors opening out to the patio at the side and from here there is a door with staircase ascending to the study/fifth bedroom on the upper level. This room is perfect for those working from home or it could be a fantastic and cosy children's room. A door from the dining room/family room leads through into the breakfasting sized kitchen at the rear of the house. This is a beautiful space with timber flooring, modern wall mounted and counter level units and with a range of appliances that include an inbuilt oven and hob, fridge/freezer and washing machine. There are windows on either side and to the rear overlooking the gardens and off the kitchen is a useful downstairs wc compartment.

Moving on to the upstairs, the staircase ascends to the upper landing which has a beautiful stained glass window to one side bathing the area in natural light. The master bedroom to the front of the house is a large double room with bay window and it has a shelved recessed alcove, painted timber floor and ceiling coving. There are three further bedrooms on this floor with a double to the rear, a double bedroom to the front and a further small double again to the rear with “Velux” window. The family bathroom has been beautifully refitted and is stylish in design with a modern white three piece suite, including a shower over the bath and a glazed shower screen, tiled walls and vanity unit with wash hand basin and wc. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and all the windows are replacement uPVC double glazed sealed units.

The property is within a level walk of the town centre where there are a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and delicatessens. Helensburgh Central train station is also found close to the centre of town and provides services to Edinburgh and Glasgow. In and around Helensburgh there are fantastic leisure facilities that include numerous sports clubs including a golf course, tennis and bowling clubs and the new swimming pool and gym complex on the pier is a fantastic addition to the town. There is great sailing on the Clyde and the nearby Gare Loch and Helensburgh is within commuting distance of Glasgow and the international airport. Loch Lomond is also nearby and provides beautiful scenery, world class leisure and accommodation facilities. EPC Band - E.
