Built in the 1920s and 1930s the homes by The Southern Building Company are amongst the most admired in Bearsden. Very well built, and well designed, they tend to have better proportioned rooms, and bigger plot sizes, than equivalent properties.
Here is a fine detached Dormer Bungalow with an extension that provides a great open-plan dining kitchen with triple aspect including a set of bi-fold doors to a lovely stone flagged sun terrace. It has two impressive formal public rooms with fireplaces, and bay windows, and there are three double bedrooms supported by a shower room on the ground floor and, ensuite to the main bedroom upstairs, a bathroom. As our images and video will clearly show, this home is beautifully presented. It has a high-quality specification and outside a super level garden that is south facing at the rear and where considerable landscaping and investment has been made. It truly is a great home.
Ground floor
Broad Entrance Vestibule with timber storm doors and the original tiled floor; Reception Hall with a gorgeous oak herringbone floor; Sitting Room – with bay window to front and an original, single glazed, stained leaded octagonal window to the side. Painted fireplace with glazed tile inlay, a slate hearth, with an open fire; Lounge – with another painted fireplace, this time with a slate inlay and hearth and a wood burning stove; the Dining Kitchen – installed in late 2019, by Aspire Kitchens, has an attractive range of Shaker style units in vintage white colour with solid oak worktops against which is a ‘Metro’ wall tile. There is a Belfast sink and appliances include Range cooker by Belling with cooker hood and, by Bosch, microwave, dishwasher, tall larder fridge and tall freezer. Beneath the eye level units are discreet under unit lights. A feature of this room is its striking tiled floor, the large ‘fixed frame’ rear window and the bi-fold doors; Bedrooms 2 and 3; Shower Room with another striking black and white floor tile against which is a white ‘block’ wall tile. The large shower enclosure has a powerful thermostatic shower.
