20 Fishescoates Avenue, Burnside, Glasgow, G73

This substantial and rarely available double-fronted detached bungalow, with its attractive stone façade and large westerly-facing rear garden, enjoys a prime position in one of Burnside’s most desirable locations, just a short distance from the wide range of amenities on Stonelaw Road.

As a property, it will appeal to a broad clientele – a great family home, but also, given its configuration, equally well-suited to those seeking a retirement property thanks to its all-on-the-level layout. The accommodation comprises four flexible apartments supported by a generous reception hallway, fitted kitchen, and modern shower room. A fixed loft ladder from the hallway provides access to a floored and lined attic room, offering valuable additional space.

Although presented in immaculate order, with the majority of the double glazing replaced in recent years, a modern shower room, and efficient gas central heating, the house would benefit from some cosmetic upgrading. This is reflected in the competitive asking price, which offers the purchaser an excellent opportunity to apply their own style and taste.

In summary, the layout includes an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway, which connects to all main apartments. To the front, the lounge and principal bedroom both feature broad bay windows overlooking the garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, has ample space for appliances, and provides access to the side of the property. At the rear, two further spacious apartments enjoy open views across the garden, and the accommodation is completed by a well-appointed shower room.

Externally, the property features enclosed gardens predominantly laid to lawn. A driveway extends along the side of the house, providing generous off-street parking. The expansive westerly-facing rear garden is a particular highlight, enjoying sunlight throughout the day and incorporating a pond, greenhouse, and a variety of mature shrubs and plants.

The affluent suburb of Burnside, located to the southeast of the city, boasts a wide range of handsome detached and semi-detached family homes, and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential areas to be found on the south of the city. This thriving community includes a number of distinguished schools including Burnside, Calderwood and St Mark's primary schools with Stonelaw High School and Fernhill private school within close proximity. Burnside and Rutherglen have train stations with excellent commuter links to Glasgow city centre.

The area provides a range of amenities catering for day-to-day needs including a local supermarket, Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs. For golf enthusiasts, Cathkin Braes and Kirkhill golf courses are within a few miles of the property.
