Craigton Cottages, Milngavie, G62

Set within the idyllic hamlet of Craigton Village, just north of Milngavie, 1 Craigton Cottage is the kind of home that seems to belong equally to the past and the present. Originally built in the 1930s and set within a generous plot of approximately 1135m2, this semi-detached cottage was thoughtfully extended in 2004 to create the light-filled kitchen and dining space that so many buyers now look for — all while keeping hold of its cottage character.

Inside, the cottage unfolds in a way that feels both practical and charming. The sitting room, with its multi-fuel stove, opens directly into the dining room and kitchen — a bright, triple-aspect space with French doors that lead into the morning garden. The kitchen itself has been recently renewed by the current owner, with its windows perfectly framing views over the mature, leafy garden. A small utility and shower room sit neatly to one side.

There are two double bedrooms, each with its own character — one with fitted wardrobes, the other retaining an original fireplace. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. The house has also been upgraded with a new boiler, making it as functional as it is inviting.

The gardens are a real highlight: beautifully planted, with sheltered spaces for outdoor dining and long views across rolling farmland to the Campsie Fells. And while the setting is wonderfully peaceful, there’s also a genuine sense of community here — Craigton is a small, friendly hamlet where neighbours know one another and the welcome is warm.

Despite its rural charm, Milngavie town centre—with its range of shops (including Waitrose), cafés, and train station—is just minutes away. Glasgow is also within easy reach, meaning this location offers the best of countryside living while still being exceptionally convenient. The area is also highly sought-after for its excellent schools, both primary and secondary, with Bearsden Academy ranked as the second-best state school in Scotland for academic results.

1 Craigton Cottage is, quite simply, a classic country home — carefully looked after, extended with thought, and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, with a community to match.
