Set within the ever-popular coastal town of Helensburgh, this mid-terrace villa at 38 Lawrence Avenue offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a home with potential. While the property would benefit from a degree of modernisation and internal upgrading, this has been carefully reflected in the attractive asking price, making it an appealing prospect for first-time purchasers, downsizers, or those looking to add value.
The accommodation is well proportioned and thoughtfully arranged over two levels. On entering, a welcoming hallway provides access to the main apartments and staircase to the upper floor. The generously sized lounge/dining room is a particular highlight, enjoying both front and rear-facing windows which flood the space with natural light, and offering ample room for a three-piece suite alongside a dining table and chairs - ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of gloss-fronted white units, offering good storage capacity and workspace. It is equipped with an oven, hob, hood, fridge freezer, and plumbing for an automatic washing machine, while a rear door provides direct access to the enclosed garden. Upstairs, the landing leads to two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from in-built storage wardrobes. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece white suite, comprising a low-level WC, pedestal wash hand basin, and panel bath with mixer shower over. A notable additional feature is the floored attic space, accessed via a fixed staircase from the principal bedroom, complete with a Velux window - offering excellent storage and potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents. Further benefits include gas central heating via a Worcester boiler, double glazing for enhanced insulation and soundproofing, and both front and enclosed rear gardens. The rear garden features timber decking, a garden shed, and fencing for privacy and security.
Although upgrading is required, prospective purchasers are encouraged to view to satisfy themselves as to the extent of works required. Nevertheless, this property represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a home in a desirable location with significant potential.
