North Cottage, Glenorchard Road, Balmore, Torrance, G64 4AJ

Property Description
North Cottage is a delightful and seldom available traditional semi-detached villa, dating from circa 1900 and tucked away within the charming and peaceful hamlet of Balmore. Full of character and period appeal, the property enjoys a wonderfully private, mature garden setting that offers a true sense of countryside tranquillity, all within easy commuting reach of Milngavie, Bearsden and Glasgow city centre.

Set beneath an upgraded slate roof, this handsome, stone-built home retains many original architectural features, while providing bright and spacious accommodation across two generous levels. The house has been sensitively maintained over the years, with a blend of single and double-glazed windows, in both timber and uPVC frames, and warmth provided via a gas central heating system. Outside, a driveway offers ample parking and further enhances the practicality of this unique, rural home.

Internally, the ground floor opens with a welcoming entrance porch and hallway, leading into a generous, front-facing, lounge, with deep bay window, open fire and fireplace. To the rear, a superb dining-sized kitchen provides a wonderful space for everyday living and entertaining, with a range of base and wall mounted units and ample space for a dining table. Off the kitchen is a large utility room, providing excellent additional storage and laundry facilities, as well as direct access out to the rear garden.

On the upper level, a particularly spacious principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful, rear-facing outlook, across the gardens. To the front, a second well-sized double bedroom features built-in wardrobes and access to eaves storage. The upper landing is bright and airy and leads to a beautifully appointed shower room, complete with large walk-in enclosure and contemporary suite.

Externally, the cottage is positioned on a generous plot, offering a mature garden environment, with a wonderful sense of privacy. Well stocked and neatly landscaped, the gardens provide plenty space for outdoor entertaining, gardening or simple relaxation. A large driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles.








North Cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a home of character and charm, in an idyllic setting. Its semi-rural location offers a perfect balance between peaceful village living and convenience, with easy access to the amenities and transport links of Milngavie, Bearsden and Glasgow.

A truly special property, offering timeless appeal and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
