Hillside villa with views to Bonnie Banks
BUILT on a hillside, the elevated position of this detached villa offers a panoramic view of the Clyde and the hills around Loch Lomond that any homeowner would be glad to gaze on.
The 1880s five-bedroom property, named Euroa, was extended in the 1920s and has been upgraded in recent years.
Located in the village of Langbank, near Port Glasgow, Renfrewshire, it has a wealth of period features including stain-leaded glass windows and period fire surrounds.
The main public rooms, hallway and three of the bedrooms have ornate cornice work to ceilings. The property has traditionally styled sash and casement singleglazed windows with secondary and double glazing and a gasfired central heating system, except in the drawing room which has individual wall-mounted gas heaters and an open coal fire.
Three double bedrooms are on the ground floor as well as a study/workspace, utility room and five piece bathroom suite.
A hallway leads to a side entrance door, accessing the extensive paved side patio. The master bedroom has a frontfacing three-section leaded bay window with an additional sidefacing window.
Off the master bedroom is an en-suite, consisting of his and hers sinks, shower and toilet.
A broad formal stairway leads to a half-landing area with an open archway leading to the rear apartments and continuing the stairs to an upper reception hall.
The upper hallway has a leaded glass skylight window and glazed screens giving borrowed light from the drawing room.
Meanwhile, the ‘through and through’ drawing room boasts oak hardwood flooring, and rear, side and front-facing window formations with views over the Firth of Clyde and beyond.
A large bedroom has a frontfacing window formation with panoramic views and access to a modern en-suite shower room. A second double-bedroom is on this level. An office space is also found on this floor.
Beyond the half landing to the rear is a hallway with a small preparation kitchen. Steps lead up to a rear hall with entry to a modern fitted kitchen with Canadian maple wood flooring and underfloor heating.
The villa has mature and landscaped private gardens and is close to all local amenities, with easy access to the M8 just a few minutes away.
