'Dalfruin' 124 Blairbeth Road, Burnside

Glasgow, G73 5BU

Description

‘Dalfruin’ is a home that must be viewed to be truly appreciated. From its panoramic views to its generous and flexible living space, this remarkable property is sure to impress.

Occupying a commanding corner position with open aspects over Blairbeth Road, neighbouring rooftops, and far-reaching views across the city, this distinctive detached, stone-fronted dormer bungalow boasts an impeccable interior and beautifully maintained, south-facing rear gardens.

Originally built in the mid-1930s, the property has been architecturally redesigned, extended, and meticulously maintained to create a deceptively spacious family home. Set across three levels, the accommodation offers six versatile apartments, plus a large, developed basement room suitable for a variety of uses. Flooded with natural light and styled in tasteful, neutral tones, the home features quality floor coverings throughout, a modern dining kitchen, and a contemporary family bathroom. The shower room has been smartly refitted within the past six years, and the home benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via a Baxi combination boiler installed in 2016. Further highlights include a garage and two driveways, accessed from both Blairbeth Road and Snaefell Avenue.

The accommodation is both impressive and inviting. A welcoming entrance vestibule opens into a bright reception hallway, with access to all main rooms and staircases to the upper and lower levels. The elegant formal lounge features a broad bay window overlooking the front garden and a fireplace to the focal wall. To the rear, a cosy sitting room enjoys garden aspects and a feature fireplace. The spacious dining kitchen has been thoughtfully extended, offering ample room for family dining and direct access to the rear garden. The kitchen is extensively fitted and comes with an integral fridge, freezer, electric oven, gas hob, and space for a freestanding washing machine.

Also on the ground floor are two generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom benefiting from bespoke fitted wardrobes, and a stylish, modern shower room.

From the main hallway, a permanent staircase leads to the large basement room – an ideal space for a home office, gym, playroom, or further storage. A separate staircase rises to the upper landing, revealing two further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a large, modern three-piece family bathroom.

Externally, ‘Dalfruin’ occupies an impressive corner plot at the junction with Blairbeth Road and Snaefell Avenue. The front and side gardens are landscaped for ease of maintenance, with manicured lawns, mature shrubs, and established trees. To the rear, the south-facing garden provides a private and peaceful retreat, with a well-kept lawn, planted borders, and paved seating areas perfect for entertaining or enjoying the sun.

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 of the city. This thriving community includes a number of distinguished schools including Burnside, Calderwood and St Mark's primary schools with Stonelaw High School and Fernhill private school within close proximity. 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, Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs. For golf enthusiasts, Cathkin Braes and Kirkhill golf courses are within a few miles of the property.
