3 bed 2 bath Detached
West End 3-bed detached with views, parking and scope to modernise.
Freehold split-level detached villa with three double bedrooms
Occupying a rarely available West End position, this split-level detached villa offers three double bedrooms across a practical 922 sq ft layout. The house benefits from good parking — a driveway for up to three cars and an attached garage — plus a lawned front garden and a sloping rear garden with paved patio and mature shrubs. Rear views extend beyond trees towards Gourock and the River Clyde with hills beyond, and the property lies conveniently for Clydeview Academy and Fort Matilda station, making it suitable for commuters.
The home has useful existing features: double glazing, oil-fired central heating, a fitted kitchen with appliances included, and a bright lounge with a feature picture window. Basement storage is accessible from inside and by a rear door, offering scope for conversion or improved storage. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Material renovation is required: the vendor states a degree of upgrading is needed, the EPC is rated E, and basement areas show exposed finishes that will need completion. Heating is oil-fired, which may mean higher running or maintenance costs compared with mains gas. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived and council tax is above average — factors buyers should weigh against the purchase price and renovation potential.
This house suits buyers seeking a freehold family home in a well-connected West End setting who are prepared to invest in updating. There is clear scope to modernise the interior, improve energy performance, and take advantage of the garage, generous parking and the outlook to enhance resale or long-term living comfort.
