Details

**closing for offers - Wednesday 9th April @ 11AM** An exceptional semi-detached Victorian villa, this impressive home sits on a generous garden plot in one of Burnside’s most prestigious addresses, just moments from the varied amenities of Stonelaw Road. Retaining many period features, it is brimming with original character and charm, complemented by thoughtful upgrades, a clever reconfiguration, and a rear extension that enhances modern family living. The heart of the home is the outstanding semi-open-plan kitchen, dining, and family area, designed for contemporary lifestyles.

The property has been enhanced with re-plastering, quality floor coverings - including solid oak throughout most of the ground floor - a contemporary fitted kitchen with a freestanding range cooker, and a traditional four-piece family bathroom featuring the original cast iron bath and a separate shower enclosure. Double glazing is installed throughout, with the exception of the stained-glass bathroom window, and a highly efficient gas central heating system with replacement column-style radiators and an Ideal Logic combination boiler ensures warmth and comfort. Added security is provided by a burglar alarm, and the home boasts an impressive Band C energy rating, supported by energy-saving solar panels with a feed-in tariff/contract until 2036.

The accommodation follows a traditional layout, beginning with glazed storm doors leading into an entrance vestibule and a striking stained-glass doorway into a warm, welcoming reception hallway with an under-stair cloakroom/WC. The elegant formal lounge features a fireplace as its focal point and a broad bay window overlooking the front garden. A side-facing sitting room provides access to the large, fitted kitchen, which flows seamlessly into the rear dining area, where French doors open directly to the garden. An adjacent utility room adds to the home’s practicality. The dining area also connects to a family seating space with a useful under-stair storage cupboard, accessible from both the main hallway and kitchen.

Ascending the original staircase, the half-landing leads to a spacious double bedroom and the main four-piece bathroom. The upper landing features a fitted storage cupboard and access to a partially floored attic via a fixed loft ladder. Three further generously sized double bedrooms are located here, including the principal, which enjoys a broad bay window to the front, while bedroom two benefits from windows at both the front and rear.

Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn and bordered by low-level walling. A stone-chipped driveway leads to a single attached garage with power and lighting. The fully enclosed rear garden is a private retreat, featuring a well-maintained lawn and two paved patio areas at the far end.

Albert Drive is ideally positioned within walking distance of shops and amenities on Stonelaw Road, with more extensive facilities available on Rutherglen Main Street and at Kingsgate Retail Park, just a short drive away. The area offers excellent recreational options, including parks, bowling and golf clubs, tennis courts, and gyms, as well as highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Transport links are well served by regular bus routes and Burnside train station, while the Central Belt motorway network provides easy access to surrounding areas.

The energy performance rating on this property is Band C.
