Description

Built by John Lawrence some 65 years ago the house is in the admired Barloch district on the north easternmost edge of Milngavie. A brick-built house with a pitched and tiled roof and dormers. A small rear extension was added decades ago to take advantage of the outstanding view afforded, southwards, over the moorland, lochan, and distant woodland that lies immediately to the rear of the house and which is part of the Douglaston golf course estate.

There are 6 apartments, configured as three bedrooms and three public rooms with four bedrooms being an option by utilising the dining room, as shown on the floor plan. This is the first time in nearly 35 years since the house was sold last. Whilst clearly a well-kept home it is fair to state that kitchen fitments, sanitary ware, and the double-glazed windows (except the two modern units fitted in bedroom 3) are of an age where purchasers would likely seek to upgrade. The gas central heating system has a modern Worcester Greenstar 28 CDI compact condensing combination boiler.

Attached to the westerly side of the house is a very good-sized single garage and usefully there is an easy to access cellar with two main compartments and providing full subfloor access.

Summary of Accommodation

Ground Floor

Reception hall. Lounge with bay window and stone fireplace with open fire (the gas pipe has been “capped” here). Living room, which incorporates the extension, affording the glorious view rearwards. Compact kitchen, again with the view, with pine units. Dining room with corner window arrangement. Bathroom featuring a Triton Topaz thermostatic electric shower over the bath, tiled walls and LVF flooring.

First Floor

A staircase with open treads ascends to the first-floor hallway (two cupboards here). Three bedrooms with the primary bedroom having a double aspect and with bedroom 3 having two windows taking full advantage of the view. WC.

Situation

The Barloch district is just to the northeast of the village centre and therefore very handy for the railway station, town hall, and the shops to be found in the pedestrianised centre. This house, as with several of the other “odd number” homes has the huge benefit of the direct outlook to the rear over the moorland grounds of Dougalston Golf course with this house having, arguably, one of the best, taking in the small lochan in the mid-distance, framed by the mature woodland beyond.

But a quarter mile away is Baldernock Road which provides a lovely country stroll between the fairways of Douglaston golf course and ultimately to the picturesque hamlet of Baldernock. Dougalston golf course forms part of the Nuffield Health Milngavie Fitness and Wellbeing Gym which, too, is a shortish walk along nearby Strathblane Road. Essentially most, if not all of Milngavie’s shops, services, and amenities are within easy reach.
