On the opposite side of the hall is the formal dining room, again featuring a bay window and decorative cornicing and offering ample space for a substantial dining table.
To the rear is an excellent additional sitting room, a particularly bright apartment with extensive glazing overlooking the gardens and a contemporary fireplace. This provides a comfortable and more informal everyday living space and complements the property's two traditional front-facing reception rooms particularly well.
The dining kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the house and provides space for everyday dining, with adjoining utility room adding useful practicality.

A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation and incorporates a bath with shower, wash-hand basin, WC, fitted storage and extensive tiling.
Externally, the gardens are a real feature of the property. The house sits comfortably within established grounds with well-maintained lawns, mature hedging, planted beds and borders, and areas of hard landscaping. To the rear is a broad paved terrace providing a natural spot for outdoor seating and entertaining. A driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the substantial detached garage.
Overall, 18 South Erskine Park represents a particularly appealing opportunity within one of Bearsden's established traditional residential districts.

Location
South Erskine Park is very much at the heart of Bearsden with the house only 0.3 miles from Bearsden Cross. Here you will find cafes, restaurants, post office, fishmonger, a butcher, an M&S food hall, doctor and dental surgeries, and a range of other services and independent retailers. At The Cross is the primary catchment school of Bearsden Primary with secondary catchment at the consistently high-performing Bearsden Academy. Bearsden is also home to St Nicholas’ Primary (Duntocher Road) and the independent High School of Glasgow Junior School on Ledcameroch Road, it's senior school just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. Bearsden has nurseries including The Early Years Learning Centre across from the bottom of South Erskine Park.
Bearsden's reputation as one of the best places in Scotland to live is enduring with easy road links to the West End and City Centre, bus services, and regular train services including one to Edinburgh (the nearest train station, Bearsden, is just south of the cross, a 10-minute walk from the house). There are tennis clubs and golf courses, lots of walks, and, just north of the suburb, glorious countryside with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park only a 25-minute drive away.
