Glenburn Road, Bearsden

A Victorian stone Detached House, in admired Old Bearsden address, that will be a major refurbishment project for the buyer. The house is in very poor condition, as is the garden, and will require significant investment to bring it to a modern standard.

Nearly all aspects of the property will require work (refer to Home Report) and as such those clients inquiring should be fully prepared for the investment required. This has been suitably price reflected, we believe, and allows the buyer the necessary spends to upgrade.

Glenburn Road is at the heart of Bearsden with “The Cross”, the centre of the town, at the foot of the road. A conservation area it is home to Victorian detached and semi-detached properties and has long been one of the area's most admired addresses.

Ground Floor
Entrance vestibule, hall, lounge, dining room, family room, kitchen, utility/laundry room, shower room.

First Floor
The original return flight staircase ascends to an upper hall, 4 double bedrooms, bathroom.

Outside
The house sits upon a generous plot but an overgrown garden of some 0.28 acres with a tarmac driveway that leads around both sides of the house. The old garage, and a shed, are set to the west side of the property.
Central Heating
Arguably the only modern element of the house is the mains gas condensing boiler -an ideal Evomax 40 boiler that was installed in 2019, we understand. Radiators, though, will need to be renewed.

Situation
But a quarter mile from The Cross the excellent local services there are but minutes’ walk away. School catchment is for Bearsden Primary, at The Cross, and for the high-performing Bearsden Academy at Courthill. Beside the Academy, on Duntocher Road, is St Nicholas’ Primary. Bearsden is home to The High School of Glasgow (900 years old) Junior School on Ledcameroch Road with its senior school just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. Glasgow, of course, is home to several highly regarded independent schools with The Glasgow Academy having its preparatory school in neighbouring Milngavie. Bearsden is well connected to the city centre with Bearsden railway station, just five minutes away, providing four trains an hour at peak times to the West End and City Centre with two trains per hour at off-peak times. Services to Edinburgh Waverley.
Bearsden has tennis clubs and a number of golf courses and the superb premises of the recently opened Allander Sports Centre at Kilmardinny. It has long been one of the foremost residential areas not just of Glasgow but of central Scotland with its highly regarded schooling and accessibility to the city and motorway networks. Its international airport is but a 20-to-30-minute drive away. It is literally on the doorstep to some of Scotland's most scenic countryside including, within a 45-minute drive, the drama of The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
