Large character home with extensive gardens and versatile living space.
Five double bedrooms; master bedroom with ensuite
Set well back in a conservation area, this substantial Victorian detached house blends period character with modern specification across more than 3,100 sq ft. The property offers five bedrooms (master with ensuite), four principal reception rooms and a large bespoke Loxley dining kitchen with underfloor heating, utility and generous storage — a layout that suits family life and entertaining.
The mature front and rear gardens are a standout feature: extensive lawns, enclosed hedging, paved terraces and multiple outbuildings including a substantial store and greenhouse. A sweeping gravel driveway and monoblock parking provide off‑street parking for several cars and a high degree of privacy from the road.
Period detail is preserved throughout — high ceilings, decorative cornicing, bay windows and marble surrounds — while practical updates include gas central heating, replacement double glazing and a mostly modern interior. The location is convenient for Helensburgh town centre, schools and rail connections to Glasgow and Edinburgh, making it a strong choice for families wanting space and character.
Buyers should note practical negatives: the EPC is rated E and council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect future resale or investment considerations. Overall, this is a large, elegant family home that combines original charm with contemporary living spaces and substantial outside amenity.
