5 bed detached house for sale in Pollokshields

Set within substantial private garden ground and occupying a prominent corner plot, this traditional sandstone detached villa, dating from the late 19th Century, offers spacious and flexible accommodation including three principle public rooms and four/five bedrooms. Internally the property has been recently utilised as office space, although that has been done within the standard configuration of the residential accommodation and the property is therefore being marketed as a dwelling house with the following accommodation. At ground floor level the property is accessed from front via a vestibule leading to a large L-shaped hallway. Off the main hallway there are three large main public apartments; living room, family room and dining room, all featuring bay windows, ornate cornicing and traditional fireplaces. The dining kitchen is well fitted out with a range of modern fitted base and wall mounted storage units, incorporating worktop surface areas, stainless steel sink and drainer. A utility room is accessed off the dining kitchen with a door to the gardens, whilst there is also a handy walk in store and toilet off the main hallway. Also at ground floor level, an inner hallway leads through to a room currently used as a gym but which could be used as a guest or teenagers bedroom, with a separate external door from the inner hallway to the side of the house. There is also a bathroom off the inner hallway which has a modern 4-piece suite installed comprising WC, vanity style wash hand basin, bath and separate shower cubicle. The upper floor level is accessed from the main entrance hall via a carpeted staircase with a landing providing access to the remaining apartments. There is a large master bedroom and two further spacious double bedrooms all offering en suite facilities. The fourth bedroom is also double sized, whilst a former bedroom has been converted into a second kitchen, fitted out with a range of modern fitted base and wall mounted storage units, incorporating worktop surface areas, stainless sink and drainer, as well as a built in hob, extractor hood, oven and microwave. Externally, the property is surrounded by mature private gardens, mainly laid in lawn and well stocked with a range of shrubs and trees. There is also a large detached garage located to the side of the house and a separate driveway providing off street parking. A slabbed pathway provides pedestrian access to the front door. The property forms part of an established and much sought after residential area within Glasgow's South Side, a short drive from a range of local shopping facilities within Pollokshields and Struthbungo, including a number of cafes, restaurants and delis. Supermarket shopping is also available nearby, whilst Silverburn and Braehead shopping centres are easily accessible by car, offering more extensive shopping facilities. There are numerous recreational facilities in the area, including Clydesdale Cricket Club, Titwood Tennis Club, Maxwell Park, Bellahouston Park and Pollok Country Park where the world famous Burrell Collection is located.
