Built some 65 years ago by the admired local builder John Russell this, Argyll model, is one of his most identifiable and sought after - it’s pretty cottage-like architectural lines convey the feeling of a far earlier period and is one of immediate kerbside appeal.
Our clients have transformed the house into an exquisite home, in truly exceptional condition (see photographs and home report), and with a garden worthy of mention in any gardening journal or open gardens scheme. It is amazing.
The topography of the plots on the “evens” side of this eastern section of North Grange Road allow for generous basement space to the houses and in No.28 this is no exception. It has an extremely usable space, with generous ceiling height, that incorporates essentially four rooms and two storage areas. Many of the neighbouring properties have developed their basement into full habitable accommodation and this house provides clear opportunity to do the same, subject to obtaining the necessary planning approvals and warrants. As viewers will see, this generous basement space (full size of the house) has full underfloor insulation fitted to the underside of the ground floor.
The house was reroofed in 2009 it has been recently painted. Property was replastered throughout in 2008/2009 and rewired in 2008. Windows are all double glazed with quality units the majority of which are by Anglian, completed by a couple by Everest, and Weatherseal. Central heating is mains gas where an Ideal Logic Combi 35 boiler was installed in 2018. All central heating pipework renewed in 2008 as were all radiators throughout, many behind custom made radiator covers and with those on show (lounge, dining room, TV room) being of a traditional column variety. The kitchen has been very well designed and styled. Sanitary ware in both the bathroom and the ground floor WC is very smart and contemporary.
From our imagery one can see that the subjects are beautifully presented with huge thought given to tonal matches and floor coverings. Even the doors have been lavished with attention - the original doors all fully refurbished, silk varnished and fitted with new, modern, brushed nickel handles.
It is simply a gorgeous home and located in one of Bearsden’s best areas.
