Flat C, Braeholm, 31 Montrose Street East, Helensburgh G84

Situated within the ever elegant and historically significant “Braeholm” development at 31 East Montrose Street in Helensburgh, this beautifully presented modern first-floor flat offers a superb blend of contemporary living within a characterful period setting. Originally an imposing stone constructed grand mansion house and with a rich local heritage including later utilisation as a care home, the building has been thoughtfully converted by Panacea Property Development into a collection of desirable residential apartments. The setting is particularly appealing, with the surrounding grounds enjoying delightful open aspects across well-maintained lawns towards the Firth of Clyde and beyond.

The property itself is well laid out and is presented with tasteful, neutral décor throughout, complemented by quality floor coverings. Access is via a secure entry system into a well-maintained and welcoming communal vestibule, reflecting the care and attention given to the building and its grounds by the residents and the factors. Internally, the accommodation consists of a welcoming entrance hallway with useful storage cupboard off, leading through to a bright and generously proportioned lounge set on an open-plan basis with the kitchen area. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range of floor and wall-mounted units, offering excellent storage, and features integrated appliances including a Samsung induction hob, Bosch oven, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer -perfectly suited to modern living. From the lounge, a door provides access to an inner hallway with further storage off, further enhancing the flow of the property. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece white suite comprising a low-level WC, wash hand basin, and panelled bath with electric shower over. There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation, with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room complete with WC, wash hand basin, and shower enclosure with electric shower. Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, and allocated private parking spaces, alongside additional visitor spaces within the development. The communal grounds are attractively landscaped, with manicured lawns, maturing trees, shrubs, and traditional stone boundary features, creating a peaceful and visually appealing environment.

‘Braeholm’ itself is a building rich in local history, having served various roles over the years before its careful redevelopment into residential apartments. Its traditional architecture and elevated position provide a sense of character rarely found in modern developments, while still offering the convenience and efficiency expected of contemporary homes. This particular apartment enjoys a pleasant aspect to the side, with partial views towards the water framed by neighbouring buildings and mature greenery.
