Albert Drive, Helensburgh, Argyll and Bute, G84 7HF

Albert Drive has long been regarded as one of Helensburgh’s most sought after addresses, being quiet, almost traffic free and located on the east side of Helensburgh. This attractive John Lawrence built detached chalet style villa enjoys one of the best positions on the street overlooking open ground at the front and with extensive, mature and very private gardens to the rear. The front garden features a central lawn with bedded borders and to the side a driveway area provides parking and leads to a substantial two car brick built garage. The garage has twin up and over doors, a courtesy door to the rear and has power and light laid on. The rear gardens enjoy almost complete privacy and feature two patio/sitting areas, a greenhouse with an electrical supply, a large expanse of lawn along with colourful and well stocked flower and shrub beds throughout. Mature trees on the periphery provide great screening and the gardens are very well suited for family living, great for entertaining and safe for children to play in.

The house itself has been substantially extended and redeveloped and provides fantastic family accommodation that extends to over 1600 square feet. On entering, there is an outer vestibule opening into a reception hall with a staircase to the upper landing. The main lounge to the front of the house enjoys southerly views and is a comfortable public space with a dining area at the rear of the room. To one side and forming part of the extension is a useful downstairs home office/study and moving from the back of the main lounge there is a door leading through into the further extended part of the house which is a sizeable family room that enjoys lovely views across the back gardens. The room has a feature fire surround with living flame gas fire. A door opens out to the garden. The exceptional refitted breakfasting kitchen features a central island breakfast bar unit and comes complete with extensive wall mounted and counter level units, good work surface space and a range of modern appliances. Just off the kitchen is a small sun room with full height double glazed patio doors and windows taking in views across the gardens. Finally on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with built in furniture with a window to the front and to the rear of the bedroom is a modern shower room with walk-in shower, vanity wash basin and wc.

Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, the landing gives access to a sizeable double bedroom with dormer window enjoying south facing views over Helensburgh towards the Firth of Clyde. The room has built-in wardrobes and enjoys its own substantial walk-in dressing room area off. There is a second double bedroom upstairs again, which is a generously proportioned room as well as a shower room with modern three piece suite that includes a wc, wash hand basin and walk-in shower. The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and is fully double glazed throughout.

As mentioned, Albert Drive is on the east side of town, yet is within easy reach of the town centre where there are a wide range of shops and supermarkets available. Helensburgh also provides banks, a post office and a good selection of bars, restaurants and cafes. Close to the town centre is Helensburgh Central train station with services to Glasgow and Edinburgh and with Helensburgh upper station providing services up the West Highland Line and also a sleeper service to London. Helensburgh has a good selection of primary and secondary schools that include the private Lomond School which is not too far away. Surrounding Helensburgh there is beautiful scenery all within a few minutes drive, Loch Lomond is accessible in around ten to fifteen minutes and Glasgow is within easy commuting distance, as is the international airport.
