Description

Occupying a prominent position in a popular address, 41 Langside Drive is a substantial semi-detached property originally dating from the early 1900s. Our clients have meticulously upgraded their home since taking ownership and it will appeal to astute buyers keen to source something big and special. The accommodation in brief: sheltered entrance portico, reception hall with decorative fire, bay windowed living room with wood burner, bay windowed dining room with gas fire and a sitting room/snug with gas fire. A fully accessible shower room/WC is accessed from the hallway whilst an architect-designed, dining kitchen is found to the rear of the building featuring customised seating and oversized windows assisting connection to the garden. Excellent storage provision has been created in a further corridor with pantry, cloakroom and large over-cupboard storage area between the hallway and the kitchen. An impressive staircase with timber balustrade past the east facing stained glass window leads to first floor level revealing four double sized bedrooms and a four piece bathroom. A fifth bedroom and a second four piece bathroom are found at half landing. There are attic hatches at half landing and at first floor level, giving access to a vast yet unconverted roof space. A concealed staircase from ground floor leads to garden level revealing a remarkable games room/billiards room with twin glazed doors leading out to the garden alongside a study/cinema room, a three piece shower room and a designated utility room with gas and kitchen ring main which has its own door to the garden. A large cellar underneath the ground floor living room provides extensive storage provision. Numerous traditional features are found throughout the property including stained glass, moulded and panelled woodwork and detailed ceiling plasterwork. Our clients have replaced a number of window units since 2020 with timber cased double glazing and they have also replaced the full slate roof covering in 2023. The property has a gas fired central heating system and underfloor heating is fitted in the ground floor shower room. The property is set in established grounds with three large lawns bound by perimeter walls with driveway parking to the front via twin gate piers. A large tandem garage with original coach-house door, power and light provision provides additional parking and good storage space alongside a bin tidy and the first of two wood stores. The rear garden is of particular note, South East facing with lawn, beddings, a fruit cage, a second wood store and further enclosed storage. The barbecue area provides a secluded suntrap in the summer months.
