ONE of only eight unique homes built in 1933 by John McDonald in Carse View Drive, a quiet cul-de-sac within the popular Kilmardinny district of Bearsden, this iconic C-listed Art Deco villa occupies a very sizable plot which benefits from a mature, south-westerly-facing rear garden.
Recently upgraded throughout – most notably a distinctive new flat roof still under guarantee, new external roughcast, and new gas combination boiler – this three-bedroomed house displays many original Art Deco features, including the original metal Crittal windows, which have been upgraded where required and make an eye-catching feature.
Spanning almost 2,000 sq ft over two floors, the accommodation is accessed by a traditional Deco-style covered front porch leading inside to a generous hallway, shower room, and staircase, 22ft living room with new Deco-style fireplace/gas fire basket, curved corner window and French doors to the front, and sliding glass ‘pocket’ doors to the adjoining dining room, the latter linking to a spacious, fully fitted dining kitchen with high-end appliances and adjoining utility/laundry, while a door from the kitchen opens into the reception hall to complete the circle.
Upstairs, a 23ft landing provides access to three good-sized bedrooms – one with a curved front window and all three benefitting from deep, built-in wardrobes – plus family shower room, and landing storage. Art Deco fans will not be disappointed as the owners have taken great pains to maintain the character and distinguishing features of the period inside as well as out.
Carse View Drive is within a quiet residential corner of Bearsden, close to Kilmardinny Loch, a local beauty spot, and similarly close to Kilmardinny Art Centre, and Douglas Park Golf Club, while nearby Bearsden Cross provides an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, and other services, most of which are within walking distance.
There are also railways stations at Hillfoot, Bearsden, and Milngavie, all within or under a mile away. Offers over £575,000 are invited by Clyde Property’s Bearsden office.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
