What the Owners Say
“Earlbank Avenue was our first family home and we have loved living here.
The house is set in a fantastic location on our street and unusually for this area, is not directly overlooked at the front or back. We are very close to the popular local nature trail, so frequently bump into friendly faces passing by.
The layout of the house has served us incredibly well and offers great socialising space, the dining room is perfect for hosting friends and family dinners. The garden offers excellent space for relaxing and the stone patio area is perfect for enjoying a coffee whilst looking out onto the tree lined sky. The deep red of the planted acers, is a particular highlight in summer and autumn. Our home has the superb asset of access to shared green space to the rear of the property, a place where our children have loved playing.
Scotstoun is a wonderful area to live in, it is a fantastic community of people and is exceptionally well located. We are confident that the next owners will love living here as much as we have.”
Description
With direct access to a fabulous, gated residents’ woodland and meadow, this immaculately presented mid terraced home sits in the highly regarded Scotstoun Conservation District.
Tucked away in a peaceful setting, minutes from Scotstoun Leisure Centre and a short walk to Scotstoun Primary School, this charming property provides a careful blend of modern living whilst retaining some classic period features. A traditional storm porch with attractive floor tiles opens into the bright hallway with timber flooring, and stairs to the upper floor. On the right, the lounge has the atmosphere of tranquility found in Edwardian homes with its delicate ceiling cornicing, decorative central rose, shelved wall press and timber flooring. The 3-aspect bay window gives this room plenty of natural light and provides a view over the low-maintenance front garden. The timber flooring continues into the dining room where viewers will be impressed with the extensive amount of cupboard space which the current owners have added to one wall in this room. A small step leads to the kitchen which features a range of modern white base and wall units. Included in the sale are the gas hob, single electric oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Completing the downstairs accommodation is the large utility room which opens into the south facing back garden. This room too has plenty of storage.
Situated on the half landing is the family bathroom with low flush WC, sink and bath with overhead shower.
The upper hallway has the benefit of a large velux window, making this part of the house bright and airy and the upper landing leads to all the bedrooms. The main bedroom has another 3-aspect bay window with beautiful wooden shutters, and it has excellent storage along one side of the room. The second double bedroom has a serene view over the rear garden and the shared woodland area – an ideal place to watch the seasons pass. This bedroom also has built in cupboard space. Completing the accommodation is the single bedroom to the front of the property which has a purpose-built bed, storage cupboard and also access to the loft.
The current owners have replaced the double-glazed windows and doors with the exception of the velux window in Bedroom 3. The property has gas central heating, and it should be noted that further storage is available under the stairs.
The south facing fully enclosed back garden has an attractive patio area, perfect for outdoor dining with friends and family or for quietly enjoying the relaxing view. The hidden gem in this property is just beyond the shed and back gate. Opening the gate reveals the jointly owned woods with grassy areas – ideal for children to play in and for family celebrations. A true bolt hole from city life with its air of calmness and sense of natural beauty and yet this property is not too far from the vibrant West End with all its varied amenities.
For leisurely walks, a pretty nature trail at the end of Earlbank Avenue leads to Victoria Park which has a variety of footpaths, a large play area and a pond. Scotstoun Leisure Centre is under 0.3 miles from the property and is one of the largest leisure facilities in Glasgow. For fitness enthusiasts there is a wonderful choice of fitness classes and also a gym, swimming pools, tennis courts and both indoor and outdoor running tracks. The Glasgow Warriors, Glasgow’s professional rugby team, can regularly be seen training at Scotstoun Stadium.
The well-respected Scotstoun Primary School is located nearby, and there are also private schools in the vicinity. For a relaxing evening, the ever-popular West End is under 3 miles away and is well known for its amazing food scene, bars, quaint lanes and city vibrancy. Frequent bus connections from Dumbarton Road take commuters into Glasgow City Centre and the property is ideally placed for commuting by car into Glasgow via the Clydeside Expressway. The Clyde Tunnel to the south side of the city is also easily reached. For those looking to have an adventure outside the city, a drive along the A82 leads to the renowned vastness and beauty of Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park which has a host of choices for all levels of outdoor enthusiasts.
