Description

Ralston Road is home to some of the finest homes in Bearsden. No.24 was built by the highly admired builder, John Russell, and is a pre-war villa of handsome lines. Brick built and finished in fresh painted render it has an impressive mansard roof in lovely Rosemary tile along with modern dry-ridge tiles. Apart from a retained stained leaded French door and side window in the lounge, all windows, and French doors, have been replaced with high-quality hardwood framed, double glazed, units. Central heating is mains gas and here the boiler was renewed only in March 2025.

The house has been owned by the vendor for well over three decades and throughout that period has been maintained and significantly improved.

As clients will clearly see from our photographs, and video, the subjects are exceedingly well appointed. Assets include the handmade kitchen and the vanity units in both the bathroom and the ensuite shower room, and the also handmade wardrobe cabinets in bedrooms one and two. Internal doors were replaced with quality, flush, sets that beautifully marry the original Douglas Fir skirtings, facings and architraves. Throughout, most of the house has oak flooring with LVT (possibly Amtico) in the bathroom and shower room.

The primary bedroom is a suite and here not only is there a generous bedroom with bay window but the assets of a large ensuite shower room and a dressing room (laterally used as a library/office).

The house is on the southerly side of Ralston Road, arguably the preferred side given the extent of the rear gardens there and the due south orientation they afford.

Location

Ralston Road is one of the most admired locations in Bearsden and one of Glasgow's prime addresses. Lined with ancient 300-year-old beech trees it lies literally ½ mile to the north of Bearsden Cross and therefore within minutes’ walk of the excellent shops and amenities there, particularly by using the shortcut through Gartconnell Lane (The Loan). The road features some of the area's finest homes, largely all individual design, with the even numbered homes being on the southerly side.

Calling Ralston Road home would undoubtedly be a proud claim.

This is a house where so much has been invested over the years and one that will surely impress those who view.
