4 Snaefell Crescent, Burnside, Glasgow, G73

Seldom available to the open market, this handsome stone-fronted semi-detached villa occupies an attractive garden plot within a well-established setting and has been thoughtfully extended and reconfigured to meet the demands of modern family life. The original five-apartment layout has been enhanced by the addition of a generous dining kitchen, separate utility room and guest WC, creating a home with considerably more flexibility than these properties traditionally provide.

The house has been carefully maintained and improved over the years, with an upgraded kitchen and bathroom, replacement double glazing and a modern Glow-Worm combination boiler providing the central heating. A number of the original details remain, including the handsome box-panelled doors and associated timberwork, adding character and a sense of continuity throughout the accommodation.

The entrance vestibule opens into a welcoming reception hallway, where two useful storage cupboards are complemented by a staircase rising to the upper floor. To the front, the formal lounge is an inviting principal reception room, centred around a fireplace detail to the focal wall and enhanced by a broad three-section bay window overlooking the front garden. To the rear, a second reception room provides an excellent dining or sitting space, with a large picture window drawing the garden into the room and providing a pleasant outlook.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the extended dining kitchen. Two skylights bring an abundance of natural light into this generous space, while a door opens directly onto the rear garden, making the room particularly well suited to family life and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted units, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer, together with a contemporary range-style gas cooker. A separate utility room, adding valuable practical space, along with a guest WC are conveniently positioned off the kitchen.

Upstairs, the landing provides access to three genuinely spacious bedrooms and the family bathroom. A hatch with pull-down ladder leads to a floored and lined attic room, offering useful additional storage or flexible ancillary space. The principal bedroom is particularly attractive, featuring a broad bay window overlooking the front garden, while the rear bedroom enjoys an elevated outlook across neighbouring rooftops towards the wider city skyline. The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed, fully tiled three-piece bathroom.

Outside, the front garden has been attractively landscaped with mature shrubs and stone chips, enclosed by low-level stone walling and established hedging. The adjoining driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to an attached store, complete with power, lighting and an up-and-over door.

The rear garden is one of the property's real assets. Westerly facing and notably private, it is not directly overlooked and enjoys the afternoon and late-evening sun. Fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, the garden has been thoughtfully arranged for both relaxation and entertaining, with a wildflower area and raised decking providing an ideal setting for alfresco dining. Basement storage, accessed from the rear and benefiting from lighting, provides further useful space.

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 side 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.
