Detached house for sale in East Abercromby Street, Helensburgh, Argyll & Bute G84

Closing date - Thursday 25th April @12PM

Wadi Millig is a unique and exceptionally stylish modern Scandia design family home that was constructed in 2001. At first glance, from the entrance, the property resembles a detached bungalow, however, this is a spacious split level property that extends to around 2700 square feet (including the garage). The house sits in a conservation area and affords some of the most dramatic and beautiful gardens that feature the Millig Burn running though them.

On entering the gardens through custom made wrought iron gates, a large tegular block paved driveway is large enough for several cars to park and also offers enough space for caravan/boat storage. The driveway provides access to a large integral double garage that has twin electrically operated roller doors and comes with power and light laid on. Moving to the right of the house from the driveway, the simply stunning gardens open up and feature a number of lawned areas, colourful and well stocked flower and shrub beds and adjacent to the garden room, decked paths and terrace. The gardens afford almost complete privacy and are enclosed by stone walls, fencing and with screening by mature trees. The gardens drop down to further patio and sitting areas and the Millig Burn is a beautiful feature and cascades through the grounds. There is a timber summer house and a greenhouse included in the sale.

Moving to the interior, an outer entrance vestibule opens into the reception hall that features staircases to the upper and lower floors and has a wc/cloakroom off, a deep walk-in store cupboard and gives access to the garage and the formal dining room which has a large picture window to the front of the house. A door from the dining room leads through to a lovely modern breakfasting kitchen with a central island breakfasting unit. There are extensive wall and counter level units, a large modern range cooker and “Neff” appliances (dishwasher and fridge/freezer). The kitchen enjoys plenty of natural light with windows to the front and side and a door leading to the garden. A small staircase leads down to the garden room.

On the lower floor of the house is the main lounge, which is a stunning room with large south facing windows overlooking the grounds and with a wood burning stove. Adjacent to the lounge is arguably the centrepiece of the house, the garden room which is a comfortable family space and enjoys stunning views over the gardens through large windows and French doors and it has a pitched, timber clad ceiling with “Velux” skylight windows. Also on the lower floor is the master bedroom suite which consists of a large double bedroom (with extensive inbuilt wardrobes) and a large ensuite bathroom with bath, shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and wc. Finally, there is a large utility room with base units, plumbing for a washing machine and with a door out to the side of the house.

The upper floor of the property has a large landing (with large linen store cupboard off) that gives access to three further well proportioned double bedrooms (all with south facing aspects). The main guest bedroom enjoys a recessed dressing area, its own ensuite shower room (shower enclosure, wc and vanity wash hand basin) and there is a separate family bathroom (bath with shower above, vanity wash hand basin and wc). There is also access to substantial loft storage space.

Other features of the property include high performance timber framed triple glazing, gas fired central heating, solar panels which not only reduce electricity costs substantially, but being part of the government’s feed-in tariff, provide an annual income. There is also a central vacuuming system in the property and integrated speakers in the kitchen and dining room.
