4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Glen is a charming detached period property which was constructed in circa 1901. The house is constructed of whinstone under a pitched slate roof, with the accommodation over two levels. Many of the original features have been retained including decorative cornicing, picture rails, sash and casement windows, stained glass window at half landing, which dates to 1901 when the house was built, and open fires.

A vestibule leads to the reception hall, which provides access to a formal dining room with a bay window and a gas fire, a sitting room also with a gas fire and bedroom 1 with an en suite shower room and wardrobe. An inner hall leads to the breakfasting kitchen where there is a gas fired Aga which is used for cooking and providing heat. There is also a pantry and under stair cupboard with a hatch opening to the sub-floor.

The sub-floor is divided into a number of rooms which are used for storage and can be accessed by a hatch in the under stair cupboard within the house but more conveniently, by an exterior door beside the outside staircase. This door can be secured from the outside and the inside.
A stair provides access to a spacious landing. A drawing room is on the first floor and has a bay window and gas fire. From the drawing room you have a fine panoramic view across the fairways of Airdrie Golf Course and to the north from the same room you can see the tower and short steeple, of New Monkland Kirk- centuries old and the congregation still in good heart.
There are two further bedrooms and a study/nursery. A bathroom, wc and linen store complete the first floor accommodation.

The Glen is situated in an attractive semi-rural location overlooking Airdrie Golf Club. The property has an attractive rural outlook and yet is only 14 miles from Glasgow City Centre and 37 miles from Edinburgh. Glenmavis (1 mile) and Airdrie (1.5 miles) provide shops and amenities, which adequately cater for everyday needs and requirements. Hamilton (11 miles) provides more extensive shopping, professional and private educational services.

Glasgow City Centre remains within comfortable commuting distance and offers all shopping, cultural and leisure facilities associated with a major international centre.
Nearby Airdrie has good travel links by road (M8) and rail. There is a new electric rail service from Airdrie to Edinburgh.
Glasgow Airport (23 miles) and Edinburgh Airport (30 miles) provide regular internal and international flights.
