Three bedroom sandstone semi detached house

"Larchmont" is a traditional blonde sandstone semi-detached villa on Glasgow Road, Blantyre. It offers three bedrooms, a generous rear garden with a detached garage, and a renovation that is well under way and ready for a buyer to finish to their own specification. The property has already had significant investment. This includes a new tiled roof, replacement double glazing, a new combi boiler and new radiators throughout. On the ground floor, the rear of the house has been plaster boarded with recessed lighting to form an open-plan family room and kitchen through a feature arched opening, with kitchen units in place and a large picture window overlooking the garden. Upstairs, the family bathroom already has a freestanding roll-top slipper bath, a separate shower enclosure, a WC and a pedestal basin. Period character is retained throughout. Original features include a bay-windowed front lounge with ornate cornicing, timber flooring, the original staircase and traditional fireplace openings. The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, front lounge, open-plan family/dining room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Externally, there is a walled front garden with stone pillars and wrought-iron gates. A gated side driveway leads to a detached single garage and a large enclosed rear garden. Works remain to be completed throughout, including plastering, flooring, kitchen and bathroom fit-out and full redecoration. The property is sold as seen with materials and tools included internally. The property will appeal to developers, investors and owner-occupiers looking to add value, and viewing is highly recommended. On completion of works required, similar properties approach £300,000 in the open market. Council Tax Band D.
