Home is where the heart is, that’s what they say, right?
The sentiment of this expression, that your home will always be the place for which you feel the deepest affection, is generally attributed to the Roman naval commander, Gaius Plinius Secundus, known to historians as Pliny the Elder.
This week’s featured property, located in Duntocher, can certainly be filed as one the departing owners have a deep affection for.
Because it has been one family’s home for 45 years.
Is that down to the suntrap gardens or the delightful countryside views?
Or how about the quiet, low-traffic setting, which backs onto woodland making it perfect for summertime walks?
Whatever, the reason, it’s now on the market hoping for new owners to put their own stamp on it and begin creating their own memories, given its suitability as a family home.
So, let’s take a tour, shall we?
The bright entrance porch leads to the open-plan lounge which has elevated outlooks to the front.
Off the lounge is the family dining room, which has space for a six-seat dining table and enjoys outlooks over the rear garden.
The refitted kitchen opens to the fully enclosed garden and comes complete with an integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and a pull-out larder cupboard.
On the upper floor, there is an open landing, two tastefully presented double bedrooms and a well-proportioned single room.
Bedroom two (at the rear), enjoys elevated countryside views and bedrooms one and three (at the front) have views over Glenhead Crescent to Glasgow.
The tiled shower room has a modern suite and a curved shower enclosure.
A ceiling hatch on the landing accesses the loft storage space.
Outside, the open front garden provides a neat lawn section with colourful borders.
Adjacent to this is the monoblock driveway which leads to the single-car garage.
The large, family-friendly rear garden is enclosed by timber fencing and provides a generous level lawn and a paved patio section.
Craighirst Drive is conveniently positioned within easy reach of primary schooling, shops and bus services.
Hillside walks, a children's play park, Antonine Sports Centre and Clydebank & District golf course are all close to hand.
Duntocher itself is well placed for access to and from Great Western Road, which provides excellent links to Glasgow, Erskine Bridge, M8 Motorway and Loch Lomond.
The home is being sold by McHugh Estate Agents for offers over £199,000. To book a viewing, call 0141 673 5505.
