THE ADDRESS. THE BLONDE STONE. THE SPACE.

Carrick Drive, Glasgow, G32 0RW

Some homes impress with what’s inside. This one makes an impression before you’ve even opened the door.

Set within a prestigious residential pocket of Glasgow, Carrick Drive is a substantial detached traditional home with the presence, proportions and character you simply don’t find in every property.

The blonde stone exterior sets the tone. Established. Distinctive. Timeless. But step inside and this isn’t a home stuck in the past. Behind the traditional façade is a versatile family home built around the way people want to live today.

So, what does this home offer?

Space — and plenty of it.

The spacious lounge is the kind of room a house of this stature deserves. Generous proportions create somewhere to properly settle in, while the separate dining room gives entertaining its own space. Family dinners through the week. Friends around on Saturday. Christmas when everyone inevitably ends up at yours.

Then there’s the kitchen.

Modern, integrated and centred around an island, it provides a contemporary contrast to the character outside. A dedicated breakfasting area makes it somewhere to start the morning, catch up at the end of the day and inevitably gather when people come round.

Less of a room you simply cook in. More the everyday centre of the home.

Across the property are five versatile bedrooms, giving you the freedom to decide how the house works for you.

Bedrooms for the whole family. Guest accommodation. A proper home office. Dressing room. Playroom. Space for teenagers. With this much accommodation, you’re not trying to make the house fit your lifestyle — the house adapts around it.

There are also two family bathrooms, one on each floor, adding another level of practicality to a home designed for busy family life. Gas central heating and double glazed windows take care of the everyday comforts throughout.

And the sense of space doesn’t stop at the back door.

Private gardens to the front and rear frame the property and give this sandstone home the setting it deserves. The front creates that all-important sense of arrival, while the rear gives family life somewhere to spill outside — summer dinners, children playing, friends staying longer than planned and weekends spent at home.

Then there’s the address.

Positioned within a well-established residential pocket in Glasgow’s East End, Carrick Drive delivers a lifestyle where convenience, connectivity, and community come together effortlessly.

Immediate access to the M8, M73, and M74 motorways places Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh, and the wider Central Belt within easy reach.

Because at this level, buying a home isn’t only about counting bedrooms.

It’s the architecture. The proportions. The setting. The way it feels when you arrive.

The traditional presence. Five-bedroom proportions. An address to match.

Carrick Drive. A Glasgow home with stature.
