2 bed flat for sale

Templeton, Helensburgh, Argyll And Bute G84

Formerly the Templeton Library, this striking Victorian building was converted into a small selection of four luxury apartments and three mews cottages in 2003 by the renowned Osborne Interiors company. Built in stone under a slated roof, the building is now a much sought after development, sitting in attractive communal garden grounds and being completely enclosed by stone walls making it a very secure and safe place to live. There is extensive private parking for residents and security controlled electronic gates give access into the grounds from John Street. Located on the west side of town, the property is just a short stroll down to the town centre.

Located on the first floor, this beautiful apartment offers a lovely combination of period detailing and a modern specification throughout. It is finished and decorated to the highest of standards, with the property having undergone additional modernisation over the past few years, most notably with the addition of a beautiful, bespoke, contemporary kitchen.

On entering the building, there is a security controlled access system opening into a carpeted and tastefully decorated communal hall with a staircase leading up to the flat itself. This area is heated. On entering the flat, the welcoming reception hall has a high ceiling, a built-in store cupboard and it gives access to the front of the property through twin glazed/timber panelled doors into a stunning formal lounge/dining room which has a box bay window to the front (large enough to accommodate a dining table) enjoying southerly aspects and lovely views. At its focal point is a period style fire surround with living flame gas fire and off the lounge is the kitchen. This beautifully refitted space enjoys great natural light with large windows to the front and side and a particular feature is the island breakfast bar arrangement. There are extensive wall and counter units and a range of high end appliances. Once again, from the reception hall there is access to the master bedroom which has a deep built-in storage cupboard/wardrobe and it enjoys its own ensuite shower room with a shower enclosure, wc and vanity wash hand basin. The second bedroom can be used as a separate sitting room or dining room if required, but is a good sized double room. There is also a beautifully finished, fully tiled main bathroom which features a bath, wc and wash hand basin. The flat comes fully double glazed and is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.

The location is fantastic, being just a short stroll from the town centre, where a wide selection of amenities can be found. Helensburgh has good shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes, along with a wide range of leisure facilities and good schooling. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance and Helensburgh has train stations with services to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Glasgow airport is also easily accessible and the iconic shores of Loch Lomond are just a few minutes’ drive away and provide some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery and great for outdoor leisure pursuits.
