Lenzie is one of the most desirable commuter suburbs on the north side of Glasgow, with a mainline railway station offering services to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The town is surrounded by picturesque farmland and provides four primary schools and Lenzie Academy,
which is acknowledged for its distinguished academic record. The town provides a range of shops, parish churches and a number of sporting venues which include Lenzie Rugby Club and Lenzie Golf Club. The general locality provides a further selection of sports
facilities including Bishopbriggs Sports Centre, Hayston and Bishopbriggs Golf Courses and bowling clubs. The Forth and Clyde Canal is nearby.
Description
This fine Victorian villa is thought to date from the turn of the 20th century. It was bought by the present owners in 1999 and over the last decade they have comprehensively upgraded it. They have renewed its slate roof, upgraded the heating system, added
a conservatory and installed a new kitchen and bathrooms.
Accommodation
The house has a flexible layout over two floors. The entrance hallway is typically Victorian, with beautiful detailed cornicing. The drawing room has a large bay window, gas flame effect fire, detailed decorative cornicing and a central ceiling rose. There
is a further sitting room which is presently used as a playroom. Unusually, the master bedroom suite, which was previously the dining room, is on the ground floor. It has the added benefit of an open plan, walk-in dressing area and a fully tiled en suite shower
room with twin basins and a double shower. One of the property's most appealing features is the newly fitted modern kitchen with a number of integrated appliances including Bosch microwave, double oven and Hotpoint electric hob. There is also a wine cooler
and a range of base and wall mounted units, along with a utility room and pantry. Off the kitchen is a substantial conservatory. French doors from the conservatory lead to decking and an extensive rear garden. There is also a fully tiled shower room on the
ground floor. On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, a study and family bathroom.

right. No 9 is on the left hand side of the street.
