Maitland Cottage is a substantial, yet charming stone detached villa constructed in 1843 on the site of a former cooperage. It is hidden away and quietly nestles on generous garden grounds offering spectacular views over the Clyde in the heart of Helensburgh town centre.

The well laid out and generously proportioned, family accommodation is beautifully presented with many original features, including ornate cornice work and quality floor coverings. Accommodation extends to eight principal apartments creating a pleasing, flexible layout which is sure to suit and appeal to all who view.

The accommodation is accessed at the front through twin storm doors and then through the original timber and glazed panel door into a welcoming reception hall with ornate overhead plasterwork detailing, To the right is a front facing study bedroom five, currently used as an office. A second large public room to the rear currently is a cosy, informal family room with woodturning stove and views to the garden and Clyde. At the end of the hall is an attractive under stairs bathroom.

To the left of the hallway a further door provides access to, arguably, the hub of the property - the open plan kitchen and dining room. This is a well-lit space with views to both front and rear, and has ample room for a large dining table and chairs and an open view to the garden and the Clyde. The kitchen has a host of floor and wall mounted units, extensive worktop surfaces including an offset central island with food preparation area. There is an integrated wall mounted oven and microwave, a dishwasher, induction hob and fridge freezer.

The kitchendining room gives access to a recently built and quite spectacular main lounge with almost full length, double glazed windows flooding natural light onto feature walnut parquet flooring and tasteful décor - these windows provide enviable views to the Clyde over the enclosed rear lawned gardens. A further main feature of this room is the substantial log burning stove for those cosy nights in. The rear hall is accessed off this lounge and leads to a utility area with overhead pulley and extensive additional storage. There is also a downstairs shower room sauna. A well-proportioned and tidy ground floor workspace or storage facility is also found off this inner hallway.

Access to upper apartments is gained from the entrance hallway via the original staircase with sweeping balustrade and cast iron fixtures passing a mezzanine plinth with window to rear. The stairs lead up to the landing which has overhead loft access and gives access to the family shower room and four well proportioned, and tastefully decorated double bedrooms.

Outside, the property stands on good sized grounds which, at the rear, are mainly laid to lawn with borders, raised vegetable beds and soft fruit bushes. The substantial perimeter wall provides enclosure while retaining truly spectacular views over the Clyde. There is a patio area and surrounding walkway using reclaimed railway sleepers.

At the front, there is a mono bloc driveway leading to a generous garage with powered up and over style door and a separate wood store at the rear. The garage further benefits from a fast charge point for EVs. A mono bloc path leads through a pergola to a fishpond and well stocked beds and borders provide an array of young plants, trees and shrubs.

Maitland Cottage is located within easy walking distance to Helensburgh Central Station and the wide array of shops, bars and restaurants in the town centre.

The agents anticipate a great response from their marketing endeavours as rarely does such a fine example of this style of property grace the market within such close proximity of the town centre
