Dating from the mid-19th century, our latest Property of the Week is a truly outstanding stone-build detached villa in Hardgate that was formerly the village's manse.
Cnoc-Orr (the name translates as Golden Hill) offers sympathetically modernised and traditionally proportioned accommodation with four bedrooms.
Home to the current vendors since 1994, it provides substantial family accommodation which features fine Scottish architectural features, including crow-stepped gables, and is nestled within well-screened grounds.
A black gloss door opens to the well-proportioned entrance porch, which has detailed tiled flooring and twin glazed doors to the grand hallway.
At the front of the building is a spacious and traditional living room which has a box-boy window to the front, a delightful window seat and a period features. Across the hallway, the large family dining room has outlooks to both the front and side – and whilst providing a generous space for entertaining, it could be easily utilised as a ground floor bedroom.
At the rear of the house is the very special dining kitchen, which has been re-configured by the current sellers to suit modern family living. The kitchen has a central island and is finished in contrasting gloss units with granite worktops and comes complete with an electric double eye-level oven, electric hob integrated microwave and dishwasher.
The American style fridge/freezer can also be included.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is the superb four-piece shower room, which has a double sized enclosure and a feature vaulted ceiling.
There is a beautiful turning staircase which leads past the bespoke stained glass window to the spacious upper landing.
Off the landing are two exceptionally spacious and well-presented double bedrooms. An internal hallway accesses two further large double bedrooms, each of which are flooded with natural light.
The recently upgraded shower room has a curved enclosure, a modern suite, an electric shower and stylish wall panelling. A ceiling hatch accesses the floored attic space.
The gas central heating system is heated via a Baxi combi boiler which is located in a cupboard under the stairs, while the detailed windows are of uPVC double glazing.
Outside, twin metal gates access the sweeping chipstone driveway and enclosed front gardens which are screened from the road by mature trees and enclosed by detailed metal fencing.
The rear garden is fully enclosed and family friendly. There is a neat lawn with well maintained borders, two timber decked patio areas and a large garage – though as the rear garden has been enclosed by fencing, there is no vehicular access to the garage.
Cnoc-Orr is set in a well-screened, sought-after location next to Hardgate Cross. Goldenhill Primary, nursery schooling and a variety of shopping facilities are within walking distance, while Goldenhill Park is just around the corner.
And with Great Western Road and the Erskine Bridge just a few minutes' drive away, the property is perfectly placed for commuting to Glasgow and the central belt – and for leisure access to the Kilpatrick Hills, Loch Lomond and beyond.
The property is being marketed by McHugh Estate Agents of Hardgate, who are seeking offers of more than £375,000.
