Flat for sale in Montrose Street East, Helensburgh G84

Offered to the market in pristine order, this truly stunning, generously proportioned and beautifully presented Lower Conversion is contained within a blonde sandstone building dating back to 1860.

Set well back from Montrose Street East, commanding an enviable, elevated position, this b-Listed former mansion house was originally designed by the highly regarded and much revered local architect William Leiper and was constructed to as a high standard as a substantial detached family residence. Also adopted over the years as a maternity hospital and as a facility for Aggies Weston’s Royal Sailors Mission.....Braeholm at 31 East Montrose Street, oozes a distinct charm and excellence and is beautifully appointed and balanced from all angles.

Still retaining much of its original elegance with many original features and finishes retained within, the original mansion house has been converted into six highly individual dwellings by Panacea Developers and, indeed, must be viewed to be appreciated.

Boasting well finished accommodation with a charming contemporary twist throughout its all-on-the-level layout, and being one of the few conversions in the building which offers front and its own, private level rear access, Apartment B extends to around 199 square metres and must be viewed throughout its four/five well-appointed apartments which are tastefully decorated, well laid out and sure to appeal to all who view.

The current layout consists of a serpentine hallway accessed from the welcoming and boutique style communal entrance vestibule or the rear door from a rear terrace next to the property's two private parking bays. The hallway has four storage cupboards off and offers access to all apartments including a breathtaking formal Lounge / Dining Room with original, ornate Inglenook style fireplace creating a stunning central focal point which compliments the traditionally proportioned high ceilings and, of course, the magnificent bay window with stunning southerly views out over the grounds to The Firth of Clyde to be enjoyed throughout all seasons.

The dining kitchen is finished to a high standard with a host of floor and wall mounted units with soft close doors and drawers, co-ordinating Porcelanosa tiling around (as featured in all bathrooms and en-suite facilities) and extensive worktop surfaces creating a breakfast bar area. There are integrated appliances included which comprise electric ceramic hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer dryer and fridge freezer. There is also space for a compact table and chairs within creating a superb family hub. Access is also gained from here out to the fabulous sun terrace which, being covered and with glass panelling all round, can be enjoyed throughout all seasons and again, provides stunning views to the Clyde and creates an al-fresco dining / breakfasting / morning ‘coffee and morning papers’ area too.

Three double bedrooms are provided – two of which have en-suite shower rooms off and, indeed the family bathroom is well appointed with a mains shower within – all bedrooms have excellent in-built storage and, within the stunning front facing master, there is a feature glazed dividing partition creating a dressing area with shelved storage off. A compact study area is offered adjacent to bedroom three and creates an ideal study / workspace.

Outside, the extensive, communal landscaped grounds are well tended, mainly laid to lawn with a tarmac driveway cascading from street level to the side and rear where parking is found. As mentioned, this particular apartment benefits from two dedicated parking bays at the rear and, there is additional guest parking round the side of house. A compact terrace is also access just outside the rear access door creating another area for seating / drying.

Helensburgh Town Centre is found close at hand and a local schooling is provided at a premium. The highly revered, privately run Lomond School is also just a short drive. Morrison’s supermarket is a couple of minutes’ drive to the south. Glasgow Airport is easily accessible as is Helensburgh Central railway station, on the main train line between Helensburgh and Glasgow & Edinburgh City Centres which is again, surely within walking distance. Further regular services are provided via Helensburgh Upper offering access north to Oban and overnight Caledonian sleeper to London. Spectacular countryside towards Loch Lomond, around the Peninsula and into Argyle and Bute, together with two sailing clubs and several golf courses are easily accessible via some of the best driving roads in Scotland.

Early viewing is strongly recommended as property within this particular area always sell well and, with accommodation all on the level and ground floor and main door private rear access, the agents anticipate a swift response from their marketing endeavours.

Unlike others within the development, this property surely represents an ideal ‘forever’ home for those wishing to up or downsize into a sought after pocket of Helensburgh on a long term basis or indeed, have an enviable base to enjoy as a second, holiday home….
