Mitchell Drive, Rutherglen, Glasgow G73

Details

A spectacular blonde sandstone villa dating back to the turn of the twentieth century, this remarkable home occupies a commanding position in one of the area’s most cherished addresses, just moments from Stonelaw Road and its excellent amenities. Set on a generous south-facing garden plot, the property extends to an impressive 153 sq. M (1,647 sq. Ft.) and enjoys uninterrupted, breathtaking open views across the city skyline.

In recent years, the house has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, resulting in a home finished to the very highest standards and presented in true walk-in condition. The improvements include a full rewire, partial replastering, the replacement of all floor coverings, and a tasteful decorative scheme throughout. To the rear, two rooms have been combined to create a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area - an exceptional space often referred to as the ‘hub of the home’ and a key feature for those seeking a traditional property that caters to modern living. The kitchen has been professionally refitted, complemented by a smartly designed and extended, four-piece family bathroom on the upper floor. The property also benefits from double glazing, with several units recently replaced, and a system of gas fired central heating by way of a highly efficient Worcester boiler installed in 2023.

The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway with fitted store cupboard, a guest w.c, and an original staircase rising to the upper level. The impressive lounge features a beautiful bay window framing the spectacular city views and a striking fireplace as its focal point. To the rear, the breathtaking main living area spans the full width of the property, providing direct access to a comfortable conservatory that overlooks the rear garden, as well as to a large, fitted utility room.

Upstairs, the bright hallway leads to three spacious double bedrooms and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom with a three-piece suite and separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the front garden has been laid out with ease of maintenance in mind featuring mature planting, bordered by low-level walling, and there is a driveway providing off-street parking and access to the attached garage. To the rear, the delightful south-facing garden is fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, with planted areas, a shed, and two paved patio areas ideal for entertaining/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.

There are bus pickups for private schools such as Hamilton College, the High School of Glasgow, Hutchesons' Grammar School, Craigholme School for Girls, Kelvinside Academy and Glasgow Academy. 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, Burnside Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs.
