Originally constructed in the 1970’s by renowned builder John Lawrence, this semi-detached villa occupies a notably quiet/tucked away position at the head of peaceful cul-de-sac in Milngavie’s long admired Dougalston district. Over the course of their custodianship, our client has carried out significant extension works to both the side (double storey) and rear of the property to create what now stands – a really spacious, notably versatile family home of six principal apartments with a floor area approaching 1,500 ft².
Along with the quality/adaptability of accommodation found within the main house, attention here should be drawn towards the fabulous rear garden and detached garage/self contained annexe (comprising kitchen/dining space and lounge/bedroom studio) – a space that could be utilised equally well for home working, guest living space or Air B&B).
In all, a wonderful family home with early first hand inspection advised.
Summary of Accommodation
The external spaces associated with the property are equally impressive with a drive leading from front to rear laid to Tegula blocks and a sizeable/landscaped rear garden with plenty of room for child’s play/al fresco dining worthy of specific note.
Situation
Milngavie remains one of Glasgow’s foremost residential districts, with a charming pedestrianised village centre with a good range of quality independent retailers along with the High Street names of Boots, Marks & Spencer, and Tesco. Additionally, at the Burnbrae Retail Park, are a large Waitrose, an Aldi, and a Home Bargains. The village has some coffee shops and restaurants and importantly, a railway station with regular links into Glasgow’s city centre and West End, including a service to Edinburgh Waverley. There are some wonderful walks nearby including the aforementioned Dougalston Woods but also through Allander Park, Drumclog Moor to Mugdock Country Park, and around the Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs. Milngavie is famed for being the start/finish of The West Highland Way. On Strathblane Road is the excellent private Nuffield Health & Wellness Club, and Golf Club, with a recently opened £42m Local Authority Sports Centre (The Allander Leisure Centre) in neighbouring Bearsden.
For those with children, school catchment is for the much-admired Milngavie Primary (at the village centre) and for the high performing Douglas Academy at Mains Estate.
