Seldom-available, this substantial three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a generous plot in leafy Giffnock. All accommodation is on one level across approximately 1,400 sq ft, with a bay-front sitting room, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, utility room, and attic storage. A paved in-and-out driveway and single garage provide plentiful off-street parking. Private, well-kept gardens wrap the house and offer scope for landscaping or extension (subject to consents).
The house retains mid-20th-century character but requires modernisation throughout. Key systems are present — gas central heating and double glazing — yet the property would benefit from contemporary finishes, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and redecoration. The attic and grounds offer tangible development potential for buyers wanting to add value, subject to planning permissions.
Location is a major strength: Melford Avenue is a quiet residential street within walking distance of Giffnock Village amenities, rail links, and highly regarded local schools. Rouken Glen Park and several sports and leisure facilities are close by. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working.
Buyers should note this property sits in an area flagged for relative deprivation and is marketed as needing renovation. EPC rated D. Freehold tenure. This is a practical purchase for downsizers seeking single-level living with room to personalise, or for buyers looking for a renovation project in a well-connected, desirable suburb.
