4 bed detached house for sale

Cathkin Gate, Rutherglen, Glasgow G73

Details

A sensational four-bedroom family home, this detached villa - built in 2011 - occupies a prime position within the exclusive Cathkin Gate development, a prestigious enclave of just nine high-value detached residences arranged around the magnificent, b-listed Cathkin House and its landscaped grounds.

Generous in scale and beautifully designed, the property extends to an impressive 2,120 sq. Ft. (197 sq. M.) and enjoys one of the most desirable plots in the development. The south-facing rear garden is both private and larger than average, offering a tranquil outlook not directly overlooked by neighbouring homes.

Internally, the house is presented in impeccable condition throughout. Standout features include high-quality flooring, tasteful décor, oak internal doors, and a stylish modern kitchen with an extensive range of high-end appliances. Contemporary Porcelanosa sanitary ware and fixtures, double glazing, and a gas-fired central heating system - comprising a Vokera boiler, smart Tado heating controller, panel radiators upstairs, and underfloor heating on the ground level - ensure both comfort and efficiency.

Importantly, the property has been built with environmental awareness in mind and to a notably high specification. The innovative Reward Wall System enhances insulation and thermal performance, making the home more energy-efficient and reducing running costs without compromising on style or comfort.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance hallway, giving access to the integral garage, a useful under stairs cupboard, guest WC, and the ground-floor apartments. To the front, a striking formal lounge features a broad box bay window and a fireplace detail as its focal point. An adjoining open study area flows seamlessly into the elegant dining room, where French doors open directly onto the rear garden. The adjacent kitchen is superbly appointed, fitted with a comprehensive range of wall and base units, a breakfasting bar, integral double oven, gas hob, microwave, and dishwasher, while still providing ample space for informal dining. A separate utility room offers further storage, plumbing for laundry appliances, and direct access to the side of the property.

Upstairs, a bright galleried landing with two storage cupboards and attic access leads to four exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from a luxurious en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom is equally well-appointed, featuring a three-piece suite and a separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the home is equally impressive. To the front lies a well-kept lawn and a block-paved driveway with generous off-street parking, leading to the sizeable integral garage with remote-controlled access. To the rear, the fully enclosed garden provides a true sense of seclusion, combining a manicured lawn, stone-chipped and planted borders, and a paved patio - perfect for entertaining or alfresco dining.

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 side of the city.
