Description

This impressive seven-bedroom semi-detached blonde sandstone home offers a unique blend of spacious accommodation and original character, nestled in the desirable area of Shawlands. The property boasts seven well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by two bathrooms and a convenient ground-level wet room, making it ideal for modern family living. Additionally, the inclusion of two self-contained annexes—each with its own bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom—provides exceptional versatility for extended family, guests, or as dedicated home office spaces. Retaining the charm typical of blonde sandstone properties, this home features original cornicing and ceiling roses, while benefiting from modern gas central heating and a mixture of glazing throughout. The rear garden is particularly attractive, offering a mature, private retreat filled with established trees and greenery. While the property would benefit from some modernisation, this presents an exciting opportunity for new owners to personalise and enhance this substantial home. With thoughtful refurbishment, there is significant potential to create a magnificent family residence that preserves the original features that make such homes highly sought after. A property of this size and character seldom comes to market, making viewing essential to fully appreciate its offerings.
