4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

West Barn dates originally from 1835 but was effectively rebuilt in 1996 as part of the Drumtian Steading development – a group of five high value homes forming a charming clachan by the Endrick Water and close by the village of Killearn. A semi-detached property, its period charm reveals a very substantial interior of some 2,600 sq. ft. and a high standard of specification, many areas of which are quite contemporary in design. As a property, it will suit the couple but it will make an excellent family home and it certainly is a great area in which to bring up children, with the peace and tranquillity of its location but with the peace and security of having neighbours to hand. In many ways, West Barn offers the best of both worlds, with a period façade juxtaposing with a modern, efficient to run interior.

The subjects actually fall over three levels, the majority of which are over ground and first floor, with the upper level featuring a gallery and a fourth bedroom or home office, if preferred, with Velux windows providing superb views on three sides. Indeed surrounding West Barn, and specifically Drumtian Steading, is beautiful countryside and, from the back garden of the property, there is a lovely aspect across the fields towards the slopes of the Campsie Fells in the distance.

Specifically, the accommodation comprises vestibule, hall with a feature central staircase ascending to the first and second floor levels, four public rooms, four bedrooms, up-to-date kitchen with top quality Siemens integrated appliances, superb four piece family bathroom, including an oversized shower enclosure, en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom and, to service the ground floor and for guests, a contemporary two piece toilet. The house is double glazed with hardwood screens and windows on the ground floor and Veluxes elsewhere. There is an alarm system, lpg central heating and, at the foot of the garden, the property’s own double garage with remote controlled electric door.

Killearn is the nearest village but also close by is Balfron and Drymen. There is excellent schooling provision, both primary and secondary, where a bus service is laid on to take children to the highly regarded Balfron High. Glasgow City Centre within eighteen miles.
