AN East Kilbride address is generally associated with modern New Town estate houses – but there are notable exceptions. Situated on Glen Road and set in expansive south-facing garden grounds beside the Kittoch Water, this distinctive traditional blonde sandstone villa pre-dates the New Town. Moreover, it has been renovated throughout by the current owners to such a high specification it truly has to be seen to be appreciated.
This family home has standout features at every turn – an impressive reception hall with stone-tiled flooring paving the way to a striking 27ft long fully fitted Clive Christian kitchen with Aga cooker, substantial centre island/breakfast bar, integrated appliances, and family dining area.
There is also a living room with tiled floor/underfloor heating, wood-panelled feature wall, wood-burning stove (and built-in feature log store), and views over the spectacular rear garden; formal dining room; ground floor bedroom; and impressive bathroom with freestanding bathtub.
Stairs from the utility lead downstairs where there’s a super-sized games room with a built-in bar, partially open plan to an even larger family/TV room.
Upstairs, the first floor reveals three further bedrooms – the main bedroom (currently housing a carved oak four-poster bed) with a freestanding bathtub, walk-in dressing area and spacious en suite with twin basins and another freestanding bath. The other two bedrooms are serviced by a contemporary three-piece shower room.
A home that could appeal to all tastes, the classic/contemporary interior is perfectly balanced by original period features, including ornate plasterwork and fireplaces.
Outside, the south-facing garden and tranquil setting commands equal merit and incorporates a raised dining/lounge deck, paved patio, lawn, mature trees, and sheltered seating areas beside the Kittoch Water which flows through the garden. There is also ample space within the grounds for parking.
This home is only a short drive from East Kilbride town centre amenities, sports and leisure facilities, transport links – the nearby Southern Orbital linking to the M77 and railways stations at Thorntonhall and Hairmyres.
Offers over £650,000 are invited by Slater Hogg & Howison’s East Kilbride 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
