Claddens Holdings, Lindsaybeg Road, Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, G66

A beautifully designed Passivhaus offering sustainable living on 7 acres.

Description

This exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully certified Passivhaus, combining contemporary architecture with outstanding environmental performance. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully executed, the property provides a seamless balance of light-filled living spaces, adaptable accommodation and a strong connection to its surrounding landscape.

The house opens into a striking entrance hall, where full-height glazing immediately establishes a sense of openness, drawing natural light deep into the interior and framing views of the garden. A calm palette of timber flooring, white walls and oak joinery continues throughout, while a timber staircase with glass balustrading leads to a generous galleried landing with rooflights, creating both volume and flexibility for use as a study or reading area.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen and dining area, designed for both practicality and sociability. The kitchen features painted shaker-style cabinetry, timber worktops and a central island, while a wide picture window above the sink frames views of the surrounding greenery. The adjoining dining space benefits from expansive glazing, creating a bright environment with a strong connection to the terrace and outdoors.

The living area flows naturally from this space, offering a comfortable yet well-defined setting centred around a wood-burning stove. Large-format and corner glazing ensures excellent natural light, while the proportions allow for flexible arrangements suited to both everyday living and entertaining. Also on this level is a dedicated home office, positioned away from the main living accommodation to provide a quiet and practical workspace, equally suited to home working, study or a range of ancillary uses. A contemporary shower room completes the floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a tranquil retreat, enhanced by a vaulted ceiling and corner windows that capture far-reaching views and natural light. A further double bedroom is served by a bright family bathroom, featuring a full-length bath with shower over, simple tiling and timber detailing.

The property is further enhanced by an excellent range of outbuildings, including a detached double garage, workshop and a versatile ancillary building. Part of this has been finished as a studio-style space with vaulted ceilings, timber flooring and a wood-burning stove, supported by a secondary kitchen, making it ideal for guests, home working or multi-generational use.

Externally, the property occupies a peaceful semi-rural setting with open countryside views. The house, finished in timber cladding and render, sits comfortably within its surroundings. The grounds extend to approximately 7 acres, incorporating garden, meadow and natural planting, offering privacy and versatility. The land is well suited to equestrian use, a smallholding or hobby farm, subject to the necessary consents.

A defining feature is its certified Passivhaus status, meeting one of the most rigorous international standards of energy efficiency. The building benefits from exceptional insulation to walls, roof and slab, with meticulous detailing to eliminate thermal bridging. As a result, it achieves outstanding airtightness, performing at approximately twenty times the efficiency of a typical UK home.
High-performance triple-glazed windows are carefully positioned to maximise light and solar gain, while a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system ensures fresh air and consistent internal temperatures.
Further sustainable features include solar photovoltaic panels, providing year-round hot water for two occupants, supported by a 287-litre cylinder and generating Feed-in Tariff income. Heating is minimal, largely provided by wood-burning stoves, with LPG available as back-up. A rainwater harvesting system supplies WC flushing, reducing water consumption.
Overall, this is a home that is architecturally refined, highly efficient and future-proof, offering an outstanding combination of design, performance and lifestyle appeal.
