Property description

Dating back to around 1880, the original part of Leigh Cottage was formerly the lodge house to the adjacent mansion house. Subsequently, in 1980, Leigh Cottage was substantially extended and now is a quite unique detached bungalow, with accommodation all on the level, enjoying a beautiful setting at the corner of West Rossdhu Drive and Sinclair Street. The house is set amidst stunning garden grounds that are enclosed by stone walls on three sides, offering a high degree of privacy from the neighbours. The gardens feature an entrance with wrought iron gates giving access to a mono-block paved driveway and parking area to the side of the house. Beyond this there are large expanses of lawn facing east and south with beautiful mature colourful borders and bedded areas throughout the gardens. From the conservatory/sunroom there is a raised slabbed patio terrace that enjoys afternoon and evening sunshine. Whilst the property does require some modernisation, it is bright, well laid out and enjoys spacious accommodation. The entrance/reception hall has good built-in storage and this leads to a beautiful lounge with feature fireplace and adjoining this there is a separate formal dining room and a comfortable and spacious conservatory with direct access to the gardens. The kitchen is next to the dining room, with a door out to the back, and off the reception hall there are also two bedrooms to the front, one of which is in the older part of the house and features a walk-in oriel window. The largest of the three bedrooms is to the rear and again forms part of the original property, with a walk-in wardrobe and its own ensuite bathroom. The main house bathroom is found off the reception hall. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and is double glazed throughout. The town centre is just a short stroll down the hill and provides a wide selection of amenities including shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a train station with services to Glasgow and Edinburgh with Helensburgh Upper train station just around the corner and providing services up the west coast of Scotland and even a sleeper to London. There is great primary and secondary schooling in the town and the private Lomond School is just a short walk away. EPC - Band E.
