PROPERTY INSIGHT

Uniquely located, this charming property provides purchasers with a superb family home set across three levels with a private gated driveway, garage and gardens.

The entrance to the property is through a large and airy vestibule, which also gives access to a rear seating area to enjoy the sun as well as a communal drying green to the rear.

A large spacious hallway gives access to the upper and basement floors. The generous-sized lounge boasts the original cornice and is located at the front of the property with three bay windows that flood the room with light.

A handy plumbed utility/washroom is also located on this floor, which provides a mixture of storage units and space for washing machine and dryer.

The wide staircase gives access to the upper floor, with a characterful Master Bedroom with cornice to the front, which again boasts three bay windows and in-built storage solution. The Second Bedroom is again a double room with a side window which looks onto Cardwell Road.

The spacious bathroom completes the floor, with a bath, a separate walk-in shower, a W.C, a wash hand basin and several storage options.

Following the staircase down, the entrance to the basement leads to a large Third Bedroom which is again generous in size and to the front of the property and includes several free-standing storage solutions. There is also a handy W.C on this level.

The Kitchen with a large Pantry completes the floor, which overlooks the rear gardens and is again well-proportioned for the modern family. The Pantry was recently replastered and provides a superb space for dried goods and storage.

Further storage solutions are available in the boiler cabinet and at the foot of the staircase, with access to the rear gardens also via a double-glazed door.

A private front garden is also well-maintained and accessible via the driveway, which also has a garage for extra storage solutions.

In need of some modernisation, this traditional gem is likely to be very popular given the asking price and is rarely available in central Gourock.
