This superbly presented and beautifully remodelled three-bedroom semi-detached villa by John Lawrence occupies a peaceful position within Bearsden’s ever-popular Burnbrae district and now offers a truly walk-in standard of accommodation.  Finished to an exacting specification throughout, the property has been thoughtfully reconfigured and extended to create a highly stylish, contemporary home, perfectly suited to modern family living.

Originally built in the 1960s, the property sits beneath a pitched and tiled roof and is set upon a generous, level plot. The house is immediately impressive, both internally and externally, with a particularly notable feature being the exceptionally private and fully enclosed rear garden. Bordered by timber fencing and backed by the established woodland of the Craigdhu Wedge conservation area, the garden offers a wonderful sense of seclusion. Two separate areas of quality timber decking provide ideal spaces for entertaining and outdoor dining, while a broad expanse of lush lawn creates a safe and versatile area for families.

Internally, the accommodation is finished in a crisp, contemporary style and extends across five principal apartments. Access is initially gained via a practical entrance porch, ideal for coats and footwear, leading through to a welcoming reception hallway, laid with attractive wood-effect flooring. A beautifully finished shower room sits off the hallway, complete with a walk-in enclosure and chrome heated towel rail. The front-facing lounge is bright and inviting, featuring an attractive three-frame picture window.  To the rear, the heart of the home is found in the outstanding open-plan kitchen and sitting/dining area, designed for modern living and entertaining. The kitchen is finished to an exceptional standard with Roca Quartz worktops, contrasting soft-close cabinetry and a suite of quality Neff appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, matching cooker hood, slide-and-hide oven and integrated microwave/oven. The adjoining living space enjoys direct access out to the rear deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The upper level provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, comprising two generous double rooms and a further single bedroom, ideal as a nursery or home office. Completing the accommodation is a very stylish family bathroom, fitted with a contemporary three-piece suite, chrome heated towel rail and over bath shower. Additional storage is available via the attic, accessed from the upper landing via a pull-down Ramsay ladder.

Further benefits include gas central heating, via a modern Vokera combination boiler, UPVC double glazed windows throughout, off-street driveway parking and a well-equipped timber garden store, with power.

Burnbrae remains one of Bearsden’s most sought-after residential districts, prized for its excellent schooling, with the property falling within the catchment for Mosshead Primary and the highly regarded Bearsden Academy. The area is also well served by green spaces, including Kilmardinny Loch and the surrounding woodland, excellent leisure facilities at the nearby Allander Sports Centre and a wide range of shops and services in both Bearsden and Milngavie. Regular bus services operate on Milngavie Road, while rail links are available from Hillfoot and Milngavie, providing easy access to Glasgow’s West End and City Centre.
