Description

One of the finest Victorian stone detached houses in Bearsden, Dunymat is located in the highly prized Ralston Road address - home to some of the district's finest properties and lined with magnificent over 300-year-old ancient Beech trees.

Built originally around 1888 it is believed that the stunning billiard room, east wing, was added some 25 years later. Over its 137-year existence there have been only four owners, testament to how special a home it is.

Our clients have invested considerably over the near 30 years of their ownership, much of which has been done over recent years including the re-slating of the roof and the installation of the bespoke made double glazed sash and case windows by The Preservation Window Company. A superb kitchen was designed and fitted by the award-winning J S Geddes of Kilmarnock with quality sanitaryware featured in the ensuite showroom and, particularly, the main family bathroom and the ground floor WC. Gorgeous original features have been retained and enhanced with the wood panelled, barrel vaulted ceiling, billiard room with its inglenook fireplace an exceptional example.

Architecturally, the property is of the Greek revival style most famously associated with Alexander “Greek” Thompson. It is a rare house indeed a very special home.

Whilst a property of evident character it has a modern specification with the aforementioned upgrades but also having a gas central heating system (with 2 x Worcester Greenstar conventional boilers) and an alarm system. Upon its sizeable rear garden is a large, detached, garage accessed via electric gates from the Gartconnell Road drive, one of two driveways.
