Generous plot with mature garden and double garage

A rare five-bedroom detached bungalow on a generous plot in sought-after Bearsden, offering immediate scope to create a contemporary family home. The house extends to around 1,800 sq ft over two levels, includes a double garage, monoblocked driveway and mature rear garden — excellent for family living and outdoor space.
The property requires modernization throughout but benefits from planning permission for a full single-storey and gable extension, plus double glazing and gas central heating already in place. The existing layout includes a large ground-floor bedroom and lounge, a spacious family room with patio doors, a substantial kitchen, wet room, and two first-floor double bedrooms and family bathroom — good bones to reconfigure or enlarge under the approved plans.
Location is a key strength: this home falls within the Bearsden Primary and Bearsden Academy catchments and sits close to local shops, cafes, supermarkets (Asda, M&S Foodhall), and transport links including Bearsden station. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, supporting home working and family connectivity.
Important practical points: the house needs renovation and updating throughout, decorating and likely mechanical/electrical upgrades should be anticipated. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should factor refurbishment costs and timescales despite the planning consent which reduces uncertainty for extension works.
