1 21 Albert Drive, Bearsden

2 A post war John Lawrence detached bungalow with a substantial rear extension enjoying a super location amidst a pretty garden that backs onto the King George V park, within Bearsden s popular Killermont / Boclair district. The original bungalow has been significantly enhanced by the redevelopment, firstly of the upper floor where, instead of there being one bedroom there are now two bedrooms and a large bathroom. Most notable, however, is the very generous family room extension to the rear of the house, in addition to which, off the kitchen, is a utility room and pantry / storeroom extension. All of this results in a six apartment family property of some 1,675 sq. ft. It is fair to say that whilst the house has been well maintained by our client there are elements of modernising required but, of course, this has been price reflected allowing clients and ultimately the purchaser the scope to import their own taste and specification. There is no doubt that the property is a fine home for the couple and particularly for the family buyer and it enjoys a great location within the district, particularly so with its rear garden, which is westerly facing, backing onto King George V park. In terms of accommodation the subjects comprise, initially, a pretty entrance veranda to the front, from here a door opens to reveal the reception hall, off which is an open plan lounge and dining room which is a large space with the lounge area offering a bay window to the front and an ingleneuk fireplace with two original leaded lancet windows and a Living Flame gas fire centrally set. The dining room has three high level windows to the southerly side and double doors leading through to the family room extension. The family room is a great space (20 x 15, 6.10m x 4.62m) with French doors to the rear, either side of which are windows with an additional single window to the northerly side. This is a super-sized room with a very pleasant view out onto the rear garden. The ground floor accommodation continues with a kitchen which has a range of mint-green New England style cupboard units, a breakfast bar and a pine-clad ceiling. Off the kitchen is a good sized utility room and a pantry / storeroom both part of an extension. There is a ground floor double bedroom (bedroom one) with bay window to the front and also a shower room with quality three-piece white suite by Jacob Delafor. The shower enclosure is a corner cabinet in which there is a Triton LP thermostatic shower unit. There is no window in this shower room given that the original window has been blocked up due to the family room extension. Upstairs, a staircase ascends to the first floor where a landing provides access to two bedrooms with dormer windows. The first one is to the rear of the property with a very substantial dormer with this bedroom set on an L-shaped basis with a run of storage cupboards and a fitted wardrobe. There is access here into a useful eaves storage area. Bedroom three is another double room with a dormer window to the front, two sides of which is access into the eaves and along one wall, a fitted wardrobe. To complete the accommodation on this level is a large dormer bathroom with skylight cupola with the bathroom featuring a four-piece white suite (his and her wash-hand basins,w.c., and bath). There was a fifth piece, being a shower stall but this has been taken away however, the base has been retained and could be reinstated should clients wish. The bathroom has tiling on three walls, pine cladding on one wall and ceiling. The house has a gas central heating system with a traditional Glow-Warm boiler located in the outside boiler house. Windows are primarily double-glazed with upvc (wood grain effect) in the lounge bay window, bedroom one bay window, the kitchen, as well as the front door and the side utility door. There is white upvc units in the utility room and its back door, the pantry / kitchen store, the family room and in bedroom two. Bedroom three has a two-frame pine double-glazed window and there is painted wood, narrowguage double glazed units in the three high-level windows in the dining room. Finally, there are single glazed windows, being the two lancet windows in the ingleneuk and the one small window in the upstairs bathroom. Outside the property has a very lovely garden with the front having a selection of specimen plants and shrubs including a fine Acer and some beautiful azaleas. A slabbed and gravel driveway extends down the side of the property with off-street parking for three to four cars terminating at the detached single garage. The rear garden backs onto the park and is a lovely area that captures the afternoon and evening sun. It has a gravel patio, beyond which there is a rockery on a gentle slope up to a grassed area which is fringed by a shrub/tree bed again, well stocked. At the top right hand corner there is a drying green and shed. 3

3 Situation In addition to the park the property is close by Templehill Wood and close by Glasgow Golf Club (Killermont Course). Local shops can be found at the foot of Rannoch Drive with an excellent general store on the corner of Rannoch Drive and Kessington Road. More major facilities can be found at Kessington (including an Asda and soon a local Sainsburys) with Bearsden Cross being about 1.5 miles away. Schooling is at the excellent Killermont Primary with secondary provision just up the road at Boclair Academy.
