26 Prestonfield, Milngavie

* CLOSING DATE SET FOR 12PM ON TUESDAY THE 24TH OF SEPTEMBER *

Representing the perfect family home in an ideal location, within a quiet cul-de-sac of an established development in Milngavie, this generous detached house (with a single-storey rear extension) offers spacious and flexible accommodation including four bedrooms and multiple reception areas, plus front and rear gardens, a detached double garage, and a multi-car driveway. The house has been a cherished and well-maintained family home over the years, and provides its new owner a blank canvas for cosmetic upgrades and future development, if desired. Notably, the home lies within the catchment area of outstanding schools, including Craigdhu Primary School and Douglas Academy, with the latter appearing in the top ten secondary schools in Scotland in 2021.

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with a large built-in storage cupboard, a cloakroom, and a WC. Following the hall along to the right, you reach a living room, where generous proportions and a large east-facing window create a wonderfully light and airy ambience, and ample space is provided for a choice of lounge furniture. Across the hall, a dining room and family room (a single-storey extension which could be built on to create first-floor accommodation (STPP)) are setup in a sociable semi open-plan layout, perfect for everyday life and entertaining alike! The family room features patio doors opening onto the garden, extending the space outdoors during the warmer months. The kitchen has a convenient serving hatch to the dining room and incorporates a breakfast bar. Classically-styled wall and base cabinets are accompanied by spacious worktops and integrated appliances including a double oven, a gas hob, and an extractor fan. Space for an undercounter dishwasher is provided, whilst an adjoining utility room (with front and rear external entrances) offers space for additional appliances.

An open staircase from the hall leads to a landing (with storage and a loft hatch) on the first floor, where the home’s four bedrooms and a bathroom can be accessed from. The bedrooms all offer plenty of space for bedroom and home office furnishings, and three are accompanied by built-in/fitted storage. The bathroom comprises a large corner bathtub with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a WC-suite, and a towel radiator. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.

Externally, the house is complemented by beautifully-maintained front and rear gardens, with both areas featuring well-kept lawns and colourful, leafy borders. The rear garden further benefits from a patio for outdoor seating. Excellent private parking is provided by a detached double garage (which could be converted into an office/study/gym (STPP)) and a multi-car driveway.
