Ballagan House, Strathblane, Glasgow, Stirlingshire, G63

Grand ground floor apartment within a historic private country Estate.

Description

Set within the magnificent grounds of an historic country house and surrounded by sweeping lawns, mature woodland and dramatic hill scenery, 2 Ballagan House is an exceptional ground-floor apartment offering grand proportions, elegant period detail and an enviable sense of tranquillity. Forming part of a striking period residence, the property blends classical architectural charm with generous, beautifully lit accommodation extending to over 1,640 sq ft.

Approached via a private tree lined drive and shared courtyard, the private entrance to the apartment opens into an impressive reception hall with its long, flowing layout giving an immediate sense of scale. From here, the accommodation unfolds with a calm, natural rhythm.

The formal living and dining room is a truly outstanding space: wonderfully bright, with a full-height bay window framing views across the manicured south-facing lawns. Detailed cornicing, timber panelling, original joinery and a handsome black marble fireplace with wood burning stove, anchor the room with warmth and character. This is a magnificent setting for entertaining, yet equally comfortable for everyday living.


The kitchen is positioned to enjoy garden views, with excellent natural light and ample space for casual dining. Its wooden cabinetry, integrated appliances and timber ceiling give the room a welcoming, traditional feel.

The principal bedroom is a superbly proportioned space with dual-aspect windows overlooking woodland and gardens and a well-appointed ensuite shower room. Two further bedrooms, both bright and appealing, offer flexibility for guests or home working. The apartment includes a spacious main bathroom with a large walk in shower and modern fittings. Throughout the property, high ceilings, tall sash windows and quality craftsmanship give the apartment an elegant and timeless aesthetic, while modern improvements provide comfort and practicality.

The grounds of Ballagan House are a particular feature. Residents enjoy access to expansive communal gardens, a backdrop of steep wooded slopes and open countryside, and a privately positioned tennis court tucked discreetly within the estate. The setting provides exceptional privacy while offering regular glimpses of local wildlife and ever changing seasonal landscapes. 2 Ballagan House combines historic grandeur with the ease of single level living, an outstanding opportunity within one of the area’s most picturesque rural estates.
