Ferry Road, Cardross, G82

Closing Date Set: Tuesday 20th October at 12noon

Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present Pillarbank , a truly unique opportunity with considerable appeal to families, renovators and developers alike. Occupying a substantial and wonderfully private plot close to the banks of the River Clyde, the property enjoys an enviable setting within the charming conservation village of Cardross.

Pillarbank is currently a detached three-bedroom bungalow set within quite exceptional garden grounds. While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for a new owner to create a very special home tailored to their individual requirements.

The existing accommodation could be sympathetically modernised and renovated, while the generous plot may offer scope for extension or reconfiguration. Alternatively, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions and consents, purchasers may wish to explore the potential for redevelopment of the site, whether to create a bespoke new-build home or potentially multiple dwellings.

Accessed from Ferry Road, the property benefits from extensive private parking for multiple vehicles, together with a detached double timber garage.

Internally, the accommodation begins with a large and welcoming reception hallway. The lounge features a substantial picture window, taking full advantage of the wonderful southerly outlook across the expansive garden grounds. From the lounge, there is access to the dining room, which enjoys dual-aspect windows overlooking the surrounding fields. A half-glazed panel door opens onto a sheltered, covered patio area, providing an attractive connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

The kitchen can be accessed directly from the dining room and also benefits from separate access to the hallway, creating a practical and flexible layout. Adjoining the kitchen is a pantry/utility room, with a half-glazed panel door leading onto the driveway. A second utility cupboard is conveniently accessed from the hallway.

There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage and views overlooking the garden. The second bedroom also features a large picture window overlooking the southerly garden, together with a half-glazed panel door providing direct access to the side of the property. Completing the internal accommodation is a family bathroom with a three-piece suite, along with a separate WC.

Without question, one of Pillarbank’s most impressive features is its magnificent garden grounds. Offering an exceptional sense of space and privacy, the gardens comprise vast expanses of lawn complemented by colourful planting, rhododendron shrubs, fruit trees and an array of mature trees. The grounds provide a spectacular outdoor setting and a wonderful space for children and pets to enjoy, while also offering enormous potential for those with aspirations to further enhance or develop the property.

Pillarbank is a home and setting that must be viewed in person to fully appreciate the scale, privacy and potential on offer. Whether seeking a family home to renovate and make your own, an opportunity to create a bespoke residence, or a site with potential for further development, this is an exceptionally rare proposition in one of Cardross’s most desirable settings.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate everything Pillarbank has to offer.
