Detached three-bedroom mid-century bungalow on a substantial private plot
This detached three-bedroom bungalow on Balmeg Avenue is a substantial mid-century property set on a generous private plot in one of Giffnock’s popular streets. The layout offers a bright bay-windowed living room, dining-sized kitchen, three ground-floor bedrooms and two sizable attic rooms above, giving scope to reconfigure or add living space (subject to consents).
The mature front and rear gardens, private driveway and detached garage provide useful outdoor space and off-street parking for multiple cars. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the house well suited to modern home-working once upgraded. The Freehold tenure and no flood risk are practical positives for buyers considering a renovation project.
Important practical points: the property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, with dated interiors and fixtures, and currently has a single shower room. Council tax is described as expensive, and any extension or significant reconfiguration will need planning permissions. Local classifications note the area as affluent, but an official area-deprivation indicator is flagged as deprived — buyers should check local reports and services.
This house will appeal to families or buyers seeking a renovation opportunity in a desirable address who can invest to create a bespoke home. For someone prepared to undertake updating and possible remodelling, the property offers strong potential and an attractive plot in a convenient Giffnock location close to schools and local amenities.
