This wonderfully classic, detached family home exudes a wealth of character from every corner and with a little helping hand, could really stand out from the crowd. Already providing spacious accommodation, a southerly garden of approx 0.4 acres and stunning views of the Clyde Estuary and beyond, 'Balcarron' also benefits from nestling within one of Helensburgh's most sought after upper West addresses.

Many of the distinctive architectural features are still present within the property and range from ornate cornicing to traditional functioning window shutters; marble fireplaces to sash and case windows; and, moulded skirting to original pine doors. All of these wonderful characteristics could be easily enhanced by a modest amount of upgrading to the internal decoration.

Walking into the entrance vestibule you are met by the spacious reception hall which gives access to the 23ft x 15ft bay windowed formal lounge, family room with double aspect windows, formal dining room, study, store room leading to an attractive downstairs bathroom and fitted breakfasting kitchen. The kitchen then leads on to a second office space, utility room, larder and coal cellar along with access to the gardens, external store and additional work shop. Upstairs, the hallway leads to a 23ft x 15ft bay windowed master bedroom, three further double bedrooms, fifth bedroom and family bathroom. A gas fired central heating system is in use and the private, easily accessible mono-block driveway leads to a parking area providing off-street parking for several cars and there is also an attached single garage at the property.

'Balcarron' is suitably positioned within the historic and picturesque garden town of Helensburgh which lies on the north shore of the River Clyde and is well served with two train stations providing services to Glasgow and the ferry offers links to Gourock. This great family home has excellent access to Helensburgh's reputable primary and secondary schools and is less than half a mile from the Lomond co-educational school. There are many places of historical interest to be visited along with the Victoria Halls (used for cultural events), parish churches, health care facilities, a new Waitrose supermarket, banks, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, local parks, leisure centre and a variety of sports facilities ranging from football clubs to squash clubs.

Rhu Marina can be found 3 miles to the west of Helensburgh and Rhu is the home of the Royal Northern Yacht Club. Glasgow International Airport is within 28 miles and the town is well placed for access to the delightful scenery and numerous outdoor pursuits offered by the Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.
