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

Albert Drive has long been regarded as one of Helensburgh’s most sought after addresses, being quiet, almost traffic free and located on the east side of Helensburgh. This attractive John Lawrence built detached chalet style villa enjoys one of the best positions on the street overlooking open ground at the front and with extensive, mature and very private gardens to the rear. The front garden features a central lawn with bedded borders and to the side a driveway area provides parking and leads to a substantial two car brick built garage.

The rear gardens enjoy almost complete privacy and feature two patio/sitting areas, a greenhouse with an electrical supply, a large expanse of lawn along with colourful and well stocked flower and shrub beds throughout. Mature trees on the periphery provide great screening and the gardens are very well suited for family living, great for entertaining and safe for children to play in.

The house itself has been substantially extended and redeveloped and provides fantastic family accommodation that extends to over 1600 square feet. On entering, there is an outer vestibule opening into a reception hall with a staircase to the upper landing.

The room has a feature fire surround with living flame gas fire. A door opens out to the garden. The exceptional refitted breakfasting kitchen features a central island breakfast bar unit and comes complete with extensive wall mounted and counter level units, good work surface space and a range of modern appliances.
