'Barone', 7 West Chapelton Crescent

Property Description
'Barone' is a truly exceptional and characterful red sandstone detached villa, perfectly positioned on the highly sought-after West Chapelton Crescent in Bearsden. Originally built in 1911 and named after Barone Hill on the Isle of Bute, this substantial residence spans approximately 2500 sq. ft. over three principal levels, offering an outstanding blend of period charm and modern versatility.

Commanding elevated, open views to the rear, the property enjoys expansive, mature tiered gardens, a detached garage, with workshop and cellar, and a superb, self-contained, basement level, ideal for multi-generational living or growing families. Located just a five-minute walk from Bearsden Railway Station, it offers exceptional convenience for those commuting to the city.

Upon entering, there is a welcoming reception hallway, with a WC off, and, to the rear, two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, capture stunning elevated views over the gardens, one of which features exquisite original wood panelling and a fireplace. A generous formal dining room to the front features a corner oriel window.

There is a generous dining-sized kitchen, which is well-appointed and features an extensive range of base and wall-mounted units, complemented by a separate utility room.
