Set on Kilmailing Road in Old Cathcart, this substantial Victorian villa offers generous family accommodation across two storeys. Original period features, high ceilings and sash windows give the house strong character, while the large rooms and circa 2,325 sq ft provide flexible layout options for modern family life.
The ground floor includes a dining-sized kitchen with pantry, laundry room with direct garden access and a reception hallway leading to principal rooms; four double bedrooms are arranged on the first floor with a further double bedroom on the ground floor. A substantial rear garden and wide driveway provide private outdoor space and off-street parking.
Practical positives include gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Important considerations: there is only one family bathroom for five bedrooms, a mixture of single and double-glazed sash windows which may affect heat retention, the EPC is D and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property sits within an area classified as very deprived, which buyers should weigh alongside the home’s strong location appeal.
This home will suit growing families seeking period character, space and outdoor grounds, and buyers interested in extending or updating the interior (subject to planning). Freehold tenure and low flood risk add practical reassurance.
