The property

38 Mansionhouse Road is surely one of the most impressive and unique homes to come to the market in Paisley. The property has been remodelled and extended by the current owner to now provide a home which marries a traditional property with a sleek, modern addition. Masionhouse Road is a much sought after address in the East of Paisley and has a beautiful selection of traditional properties. It is a quiet residential area, conveniently located for easy access to M8, Paisley Town Centre and Gilmour Street Train Station which has a regular rail link to Glasgow City Centre. Glasgow Airport is also close by providing swift access to destinations further afield. As you approach this handsome, detached, sandstone villa you enter via a covered porch to the entrance vestibule. The welcoming reception hallway has wood panelling on the stair and an original stained glass window in the stairwell. The first public room you come to is the inviting library where there are warm tones, a bay window, parquet flooring and an open, solid fuel fire; perfect to enjoy a drink with friends or unwind with a book. The adjacent family room is a great size and has a bay window to the front and another window to the side allowing in plenty of natural light. There is a fine, traditional fireplace, cornicing and a ceiling rose as well as lots of room for a family to relax. Undoubtedly the most impressive space in this home comes when you enter the extension to the rear which has been cleverly designed to create a unique, open plan, modern space which is flooded with light. There is room here to dine, socialise and entertain whether it be around the log burning stove in the winter or spilling out on the deck in the summer months. Particular attention should be drawn to the unique kitchen which was hand made by designer Paul Hodgkiss and has fitted storage units and an island with room to prepare meals at the hob and for casual dining at the breakfast bar. There are appliances including a built in double oven/microwave and dishwasher. Just off the kitchen is the pantry where there is space for a fridge and freezer and storage shelving. The property also benefits from a utility room with space for laundry appliances; a ground floor WC and a cloakroom cupboard. On the upper level the master suite feel more like a boutique hotel with its high ceilings, floor to ceiling glass windows and its private balcony. This room enjoys a dressing room with a bespoke wardrobe space and a luxury, four piece ensuite with a free standing bath that allows you to enjoy the view of the gardens from the tub. The other three bedrooms on this level are all good sizes and there is a spacious family bathroom plus an additional shower room. The accommodation is completed by the fifth bedroom which is on the top level accessed via a private staircase. Outside the property sits in extensive, mature grounds. To the front there is ample off street parking on the stone chipped driveway and to the rear are the fabulous, private gardens. There is a large composite decking area with a glass balustrade ideal for alfresco dining; rolling lawns; mature trees, plants and hedges; patio areas; a polytunnel and a garden building ideal for an artists studio or a home office.
