An absolutely charming and traditional Jordanhill home, located within the prime Jordanhill School catchment area (List 1).
This traditional red sandstone terraced villa offers conventional and exquisite accommodation, having its original features, and has been sympathetically maintained from new whilst maintaining all of the original character & features since the current family purchased the home off-plan in circa 1927.
The property is adaptable, offering a traditional layout with an added extension to the rear, erected in roughly 1984. The bright bay windowed lounge, located to the front offers double glazed Durashield sash & case windows, in keeping with the classical features. In addition, there is sizeable kitchen within the extended section, which provides direct access to the rear garden and has a delightful pantry cupboard upon entering. Also, within the downstairs area there is a spacious dining room to the rear and a large WC, located under the stairs.
The stairs are located at the entrance of the property and take us to the upper level, which offers a charmingly large, original skylight; allowing natural light to flow through the entire upper floor. The main bedroom is front facing and has the benefit of a gas fire with original wooden fireplace surround. There are two further bedrooms, one located to the front and the other to the rear. The smaller of the bedrooms located next to the main bedroom was latterly used as a study and has a loft hatch and ladder, adjacent to the door. The Bathroom is placed at the top of the upper landing and is very reasonably proportioned.
There is a Baxi Bermuda back boiler, located in the dining room, which is used for the hot water source with additional electric immersion heater. In addition, there are Fischer four radio-controlled electric radiators and in total three Gas fires.
The front garden is welcoming and paved to the entrance/porch area. There is centralised shrubbery surrounded by red chucky stones, complementing the property’s exterior. The rear garden is substantial in length and entered via the back door, then a further few steps down to the pathway. There is an old garage/shed that is sizeable enough to fit one car and can be accessed via Essex Lane adjacent. There is a large cellar, around 5.5ft in height, located at the foot of the back steps and an old workshop, around 5.5ft in height, offering great storage space and a delightful original washing pulley. 105 Essex Drive is located on the south side of Essex Drive and therefore enjoys, as previously mentioned, a preferred south facing garden.
Jordanhill is an extremely popular West End suburb, with very well regarded primary and secondary education. There are excellent sporting and recreational facilities nearby, including Woodend Bowling & Tennis Club, Jordanhill Rugby Club and Scotstoun Leisure Centre & Show Ground, home of the Rugby legends, the Glasgow Warriors. Jordanhill is adjacent to Victoria Park, one of the largest green spaces in Glasgow and the area also benefits from local pubs and restaurants, including The Three Craws and Little Soho
Although this property requires modernisation, it is true a gem with its originality and would make for a stunning full 4-storey town house/family home.
