Bungalow

One of the finest and most imaginatively reconfigured 1930s bungalows to come to the open market in recent years, 22 Douglas Drive is an exceptional family residence of remarkable style and quality, offering a seamless blend of period character and sophisticated contemporary living. Set within substantial south-facing garden grounds, this breath-taking home has been comprehensively refurbished and thoughtfully extended by the current owners during their twenty-year stewardship, resulting in a property of rare distinction that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Finished to an impeccable standard throughout, the property combines elegant traditional features with striking modern additions, most notably the outstanding side extension – a spectacular triple-aspect living space with vaulted ceiling, feature log-burning stove and bi-folding doors opening directly onto an elevated deck with panoramic views across the city skyline and beyond. Premium flooring, refined décor and high-quality finishes further enhance the sense of luxury and attention to detail evident throughout the home.

The accommodation is both versatile and beautifully proportioned. A private entrance vestibule leads into a welcoming reception hallway with integrated storage and access to the principal apartments. To the rear of the original home, a superb open-plan arrangement incorporates a comfortable sitting room, dining area and contemporary fitted kitchen complete with a range of integrated appliances, flowing naturally into a bright conservatory overlooking the gardens. The remarkable principal lounge extension provides an exceptional entertaining and everyday living space, flooded with natural light from its triple-aspect orientation.

The ground floor further accommodates two generous double bedrooms to the front of the property, together with a beautifully appointed three-piece family bathroom. The upper level offers two additional spacious bedrooms and a stylish contemporary shower room, ideal for growing families or guest accommodation.

Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the home. Mature, beautifully landscaped and exceptionally private, the grounds are richly stocked with an array of established trees, shrubs and flowering perennials. Manicured lawns extend to the front, side and rear, complemented by paved terraces and patio areas perfectly suited to outdoor entertaining and al fresco dining. Ample off-street parking is provided for multiple vehicles, while a substantial detached garage is positioned to the rear.

Set within one of Old Cambuslang’s premier addresses, the house sits close to host of amenities including nurseries, schools at both primary and secondary levels, day-to-day shops, and a host of recreational facilities including Cambuslang tennis club and Kirkhill golf course. Kirkhill and Cambuslang train stations are a short walk away; the latter taking approximately 12 minutes to reach Glasgow Central station.
