Set on an elevated plot with sweeping views over the Gare Loch, this Victorian detached villa blends period character with a modern rear extension. High ceilings, original timber staircase, shutters and multiple fireplaces give the house strong visual appeal, while the country-style kitchen with Aga and a useful utility room cater to practical family living. Flexible reception spaces include a ground-floor room that can serve as a fifth bedroom for guests or multi-generational use.
The mature sloping gardens are a major asset: lawns, established borders, pond, raised walkway and a collection of outbuildings including garage, sheds and an Anderson shelter provide scope for outdoor living, hobbies or simple privacy. Two driveways deliver generous off-street parking, and the semi-rural location offers tranquillity yet remains a short drive from Helensburgh and rail links to Glasgow.
Important considerations: the property has an EPC rating of E and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal; some mechanical or energy upgrades may be desirable to improve efficiency. The wider area is described as having pockets of high deprivation, which buyers should factor into long-term value and community context.
Overall this is a substantial, characterful family home with strong indoor-outdoor appeal and multi-room flexibility. It suits buyers seeking a distinctive period residence with scope to update services and tailor interiors, particularly families or multi-generational households who will benefit from the generous room sizes and private gardens.
