This is a wonderful, traditional detached villa custom-designed and built in Scottish Baronial style in the mid-1920's to the highest possible specifications to accommodate a local doctor, his family and practice. It is a lovely home with
many charming characteristics, set within this desirable Bishopton address and it has had only three owners. The property is both an ideal family home and an ideal commuter base, and has fantastic swift links to the M8 motorway system, Glasgow Airport, Erskine Bridge, Inverclyde and many other destinations. There is also the local train station, offering further transport links, particularly a rapid and frequent service to Glasgow. This outstanding home has substantial flexible accommodation which extends to entrance vestibule via timber storm doors, and feature wooden panelling to the side. The entrance vestibule gives access to the grand reception hallway, where there is a parquet floor, beautifully presented wooden panelling, feature fireplace and coving to the ceiling. The grand reception hallway gives access to many of the main, lower apartments. The lounge is an excellent room, featuring a bay window, character fireplace with ornate mantel and living flame fire, along with coving, and aspects over the side and rear garden grounds. The formal dining room is a gracious room, with comfortable dining for 14 - 16 people, along with feature bay window, rosewood, mahogany and marble fireplace, and aspects over the side garden grounds and to the front of the home. The reception hallway leads to a further sitting room which has a turret area, along with fireplace. There is a downstairs bedroom, which provides access through another kitchen to a shower room, with hand basin and WC. Timber storm doors at the side of the property offer separate access via another vestibule to the sitting room and bedroom on this side of the property. Further to the rear of the property, there is a butler's pantry, leading to a dining kitchen with original Aga-type range, ample storage, two double glazed windows, and access to the garden grounds via the rear vestibule, which has a WC. On the upper level there is a mid-landing which overlooks the grand reception hallway, and provides access to the rear via a rear hallway to the WC, family bathroom, bedroom and linen cupboard. There are stunning stained glass windows on the mid-landing, which leads onto the upper gallery hallway at the front of the house. Offset from the gallery hallway, are the main bedrooms of the property, of which there is the master bedroom, second bedroom with feature fireplace, third bedroom with turret area, fourth and fifth bedrooms. To further complement this area of the home, there is a shower room with a feature oriel window. The property has a mix of glazing, which include double glazing, feature stained glass windows and well maintained period style single glazing. The garden grounds to the home are both extensive and formal, and are enclosed to the front, side and rear of the property by high, well-maintained hedges. To the front, the area is mainly laid to lawn, and this leads round to the side of the property, where there are further, good sized areas of lawn, a greenhouse and a large rockery. The gravel driveway has parking for several vehicles and leads to a large detached garage (with ample lighting, power and water supplies), with lockable outhouse. This is a truly stunning property, and early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the wonderful accommodation on offer, together with the ideal secluded and quiet location and communications.

Bishopton itself offers local shopping, village primary school and public transport facilities. The neighbouring countryside caters for a wide range of sports/leisure activities including fishing, golf (Erskine Golf Club is in close proximity), all equestrian pursuits, with easy access to Loch Lomond. The M8 motorway network provides access to most major towns and cities throughout the central belt of Scotland, whilst Glasgow International Airport provides access to destinations further afield.
