TO say that the present owners of 11 Firwood Drive in King's Park, Glasgow, are keen footballers, would be an understatement. For not only is this immaculately kept, five bedroom, fully extended detached bungalow within earshot of the roars from Hampden Park, it also boasts its own miniature, all-weather football pitch complete with astro turfing, goals and floodlights.
''Yes, the vendors of this property could be said to have a strong interest in football,'' agree Slater Hogg & Howison, the estate agents handling the sale.
The two-storey bungalow is also well equipped to cater for house hunters who intend to watch a lot of this summer's World Cup action on the ''box'' for, in addition to a comfortably appointed family TV room with French door out to the patio and back garden, there are aerial points in the master bedroom and dining room.
As well as its en suite football pitch, the house also comprises a handsome reception hall with wood floor, cornicing, attractive staircase to the upper landing, and French door into the 16ft lounge with its period style marble fireplace.
There are two large double bedrooms on the ground floor plus a smaller double and the bathroom suite includes a bidet, shower cubicle and Jacuzzi bath - ideal for relaxing in after an exhausting session on the astro turf.
Rich, natural wood finishes are a feature of the kitchen which has a ceramic tiled floor, butler's pantry and an understair cupboard area.
On the upper landing where there is a built-in cupboard, the accommodation comprises a shower room with three piece suite, display shelf and storage cupboard and two L-shaped bedrooms with fitted wardrobes.
The garden is particularly attractive and features a raised patio area, mature trees, shrubs and hedging, flower beds and rhododendrons, all for an asking price of offers over #129,500.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
