Detached house for sale in West Lennox Drive, Helensburgh, Argyll And Bute G84

Built in the 1920’s, this beautiful detached family home enjoys one of Helensburgh premier addresses on the upper west side of town. The property was subsequently completely reconfigured and redesigned, with the inclusion of the upper floor accommodation in 2010 and it now extends to almost 3000 square feet of impeccably presented, tastefully decorated and spacious accommodation and must surely must be one of the most attractive properties to come to the market of late in Helensburgh.

The location of the property is magnificent, enjoying a position towards the end of West Lennox Drive. The house sits perfectly in beautifully kept, mature and enclosed gardens. The gardens are entered from the road via a cobbled entranceway with access through twin wrought iron gates into a large gravelled driveway and parking to the rear of the house. This can accommodate numerous cars and leads to a stand alone double garage block adjacent to the house which has an electrically operated up and over door and has power and light laid on. There is access around either side of the house to the large and expansive south facing front gardens that features a sizeable lawn, gravelled sitting area adjacent to the house and with mature trees, bushes, plants and shrubs and hedging providing privacy and screening from the neighbours. The gardens enjoy all day long sunshine.

Moving to the interior, from the driveway, an entrance porch which has large built-in cupboards to one side gives access to the main focal point of the house which is an impressive, bright and open plan family/dining and kitchen area with timber flooring throughout and water based underfloor heating also. The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with extensive wall mounted and counter level timber units complemented by granite work surfaces, a central island unit and with a range of modern high end appliance that include a large aga stove. There is a staircase in one corner ascending to the upper floor accommodation and at the far end there is a comfortable dining and family area with a bay window enjoying south facing views over the garden. Off the kitchen is a well proportioned utility room which has plumbing for an automatic washing machine and space for a fridge/freezer. Off this room is a separate and more formal dining room which has a door leading out to a covered canopied porch overlooking the gardens. Beyond the dining room is a further comfortable public room which has a bay windowed lounge, again with south facing views of the gardens. A second side facing window provides even more natural light. This is a lovely living space and features an open fire and a stone fire surround. A passageway from the dining room leads through to two downstairs bedrooms, both of which are great sized double rooms and one of which is currently used as a home office. This room has numerous built-in cupboards. Finally on the ground floor, there is a beautifully refitted bespoke bathroom which is fully tiled, with electric underfloor heating and has a walk-in shower, bath, wash hand basin and wc.

Moving to the upper floor accommodation, the long upper landing gives access to extensive eaves storage and is naturally well lit by two “Velux” windows above. It also leads to two extremely large double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and dormer windows taking in lovely views south across the gardens towards the Firth of Clyde. There is a third bedroom on this floor, which again is a double room and at one end of the hall is a modern refitted family bathroom with bath (shower over), wc and wash hand basin. At the other end of the landing is a refitted shower room with walk-in shower, wc and wash hand basin. Both bathrooms have electric underfloor heating also. The house is fully double glazed and comes with gas fired central heating.
