Description

This traditional detached stone-built home presents a prime opportunity for renovation in the desirable suburb of Bearsden. Offering a surprisingly generous footprint and flexible layout, this property serves as an ideal blank canvas for those looking to undertake a full refurbishment and create a bespoke living space tailored to their personal taste. Externally, the home retains considerable character with its classic stone construction and pitched slate roof, set within attractive established surroundings. Internally, the accommodation requires a complete renovation, but the underlying proportions and layout provide an excellent starting point. The property features a large integral garage and a mature garden that holds significant potential for enhancement. The accommodation includes an entrance hall leading to a well-proportioned dining room that acts as a central hub, connecting to a spacious lounge measuring approximately 6.90m in length. This area offers great potential for creating a superb main reception space. The kitchen, located at the rear, could be reconfigured into a contemporary open-plan living arrangement, subject to necessary consents. There are two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom measuring approximately 3.94m x 3.65m, providing generous proportions, while the second bedroom offers useful additional accommodation. A bathroom and various storage facilities complete the internal layout, which also incorporates several cupboards that could be rationalized during refurbishment. The attached garage, measuring approximately 6.46m x 2.98m, adds further utility for secure parking or storage, with potential for additional accommodation pending necessary approvals. Set within mature grounds that currently require attention, this property offers considerable potential for landscaping and improvement. The combination of the existing stone structure, generous accommodation, garage, and garden creates an excellent foundation for a comprehensive renovation project.

Confidence: MEDIUM

This traditional detached stone-built home in Bearsden presents a notable renovation project with the potential for a bespoke property tailored to individual taste. The generous footprint and flexible layout offer a fantastic canvas for transformation, particularly with the spacious lounge and the possibility of reconfiguring the kitchen into a more contemporary open-plan living space. The integral garage adds further value, along with the established garden that can be significantly enhanced.

However, the asking price of £270,000 translates to £310/sqf, which is slightly above the local average of £304/sqf, making the initial investment somewhat stretched. Coupled with the projected refurbishment costs of £100,000 to £200,000, the all-in costs could exceed local benchmarks for this floor area, indicating a weak economic position. This listing is a heavy refurbishment job, so potential buyers should be prepared for a complete gut of the interiors to realize the property's full potential.

Key opportunities

  • Generous proportions and flexible layout allow for a bespoke renovation.
  • The large integral garage provides potential for additional accommodation or storage.
  • The established garden offers scope for significant landscaping and enhancement.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
  • Factor in roughly £420,000 before you finish, with refurbishment in the region of £150,000 — roughly 37% above what comparable floor area achieves locally in current condition. Finished value after works is not modelled here.
