Craigbog Cottage, Rannoch Road, Johnstone

Property Description
Nestled within just under an acre of its own stunning grounds, this incredible countryside cottage is a true example of charm and tranquillity. Bursting with character and presented in lovely order throughout, it offers the rare feeling of being truly in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mature trees, with direct access to nature walks. Yet, the convenience of Johnstone town centre is only a short several minute journey away. This is a unique opportunity to own a special home that perfectly blends rustic appeal with modern living.

Entry is via a charming courtyard into the main entrance hall, a wonderfully versatile space that also serves as the formal dining area. Here, a log burning stove is perfectly placed in the corner adding a lovely warming feature. The back wall is lined with windows, bathing the room in light and providing a view over the rear gardens, with a door leading outside. The gorgeous lounge is a highlight, featuring two large windows that ensure it is bright and airy. The room is centred around a focal point log burner. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a range of base and wall-mounted units, a solid wood worktop, and a classic Belfast sink giving it some traditional style.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the original wing and a sympathetic extension. The original wing houses two charming bedrooms; bedroom two features a lovely ornate fireplace, adding to the home's character. This wing is also home to a stunning four-piece contemporary family bathroom, which serves as a real showpiece with its gorgeous period cast iron rolltop bath and a large walk-in shower unit.

The extension provides two further generous double bedrooms, offering flexible space for family or guests, and is serviced by a modern three-piece shower room. A handy utility cupboard adds further practical convenience to this wing.

The whole house is bursting with gorgeous country character, where original features are complemented by modern comforts. Light bounces around every room thanks to the many large windows. For heating, the property is powered by an LPG-fired system in the original wing, while the extension benefits from efficient electric heating.

The setting of this home is truly exceptional. The substantial plot of just short of an acre is separated into different sections for various uses and enjoyment. There is a practical rear yard featuring a large woodshed, a large polytunnel for the aspiring gardener to grow fruits and vegetables, and decking areas perfectly positioned for enjoying the sun and alfresco dining. With masses of laid lawn surrounded by mature trees, the outdoor space offers complete privacy and is the perfect complement to this truly special home.
