‘Oak Ville’ is a very handsome and entirely unique detached stone villa that was originally constructed around 1880 and enjoys a fabulous position in the midst of a very quiet/peaceful road in the Village of Bowling – nestled between the towns of Old Kilpatrick & Dumbarton and very handy indeed for access to Glasgow City Centre.

Upon acquisition circa 20 years ago, our clients embarked upon a significant programme of material upgrading which included the rewiring, replumbing and reroofing of the property. Internally, the subjects are very well presented, with key ornate detailing very well maintained. The current footprint would suit the needs of any discerning buyer.

Situation
The village of Bowling has a Railway Station on the North Clyde Line providing regular services to Glasgow’s West End and City Centre (Queen Street) as well as westbound to Dumbarton and on to Helensburgh. Schooling is at Gavinburn Primary (Old Kilpatrick) and Clydebank High School. Glasgow is noted for the quality of its private independent schooling (High School of Glasgow, Glasgow Academy, Kelvinside Academy and St Aloysius with Helensburgh home to Lomond School. In Kilmacolm, easily reached via the Erskine Bridge, is St Columbus). Bowling is just off the A82 Great Western Road which provides a ready dual carriageway link to Glasgow north and the West End or via the nearby Erskine Bridge to the south of The River Clyde. Glasgow City Centre is approximately 18 miles via the Erskine Bridge (no traffic lights) and some 12 miles via Great Western Road. The West End is 11 miles away, Erskine Bridge only 4 miles and Glasgow Airport some 11 miles.
Forth and Clyde Canal and the National Cycle Route
The Forth and Clyde Canal connects central Scotland and runs from Grangemouth in the East to Bowling Basin in the West. And joined by the Union Canal at Falkirk. Operated by Scottish Canals it passes through some of Scotland’s Industrial Heritage as well as wonderful expanses of rural corridors. In addition to the Canal providing a route for boats its towpath provides some 35 miles of easy terrain for walkers, runners, and cyclists. Bowling Basin (or Marina) is the Western Gateway to the Canal and is fast developing into a lovely leisure and tourist destination. Through it passes National Cycle Route 7 which also runs past the southern boundary of Elmbank’s garden. Route 7 takes you through, and to, some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery including Loch Lomond as well as eastbound into Glasgow City.
