Town house for sale in Blairbeth Road, Rutherglen, Glasgow G73

Details

Having been owned by the same family since the early 1930s, this really is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of the very best family homes in Glasgow. Wonderfully discreet yet superbly central, number 75 Blairbeth Road dates from the mid-1800s and is a house of true distinction, reportedly being one of the first ever houses to be built in the Burnside area.

Set well back from the road, in around an acre of secluded, private garden grounds, the house is accessed via a sweeping driveway, and enjoys commanding views to rear across the city of Glasgow. Finished in blonde sandstone under a pitched slate roof, the accommodation is arranged over three floors, with a flexible ten/eleven apartment layout and a very generous footprint of around 439 sq. M. (4,725 sq. Ft), providing the most comfortable of living arrangements for any family with plenty corners and retreats for all ages.

The property is presented to the market in fine condition and the interior is breath-taking – with many painstakingly restored and glorious original features on show. Our clients have continuously invested in the house, carrying out many notable improvements across the years, both internally and externally, with a driving commitment to maintaining and up-keeping the house to the very highest of standards – simply put, this house has all you would expect and more, from a Victorian era home, and will not fail to impress upon inspection.

In addition, the house also has full planning permission for the sub-division of the rear garden and erection of a 5 bedroomed detached dwellinghouse and garage. Further details of which can be viewed on South Lanarkshire Council’s website quoting ref: P/23/0025.

The affluent suburb of Burnside, located to the southeast of the city, boasts a wide range of handsome detached and semi-detached family homes, and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential areas to be found on the south side of the city. This thriving community includes a number of distinguished schools including Burnside, Calderwood and St Mark's primary schools with Stonelaw High School and Fernhill private school within close proximity. There are bus pickups for private schools such as Hamilton College, the High School of Glasgow, Hutchesons' Grammar School, Craigholme School for Girls, Kelvinside Academy and Glasgow Academy. Burnside and Rutherglen have train stations with excellent commuter links to Glasgow city centre.

The area provides a range of amenities catering for day-to-day needs including a local supermarket, Burnside Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs. For golf enthusiasts, Cathkin Braes and Kirkhill golf courses are within three miles of the property.

We hope our imagery will convey what awaits and that our floorplan will detail the extent of the accommodation, but only internal inspection will truly give potential buyers a feel for the scale, flexibility, and standard of finish on offer within this truly special residence.
