Killearn House was originally built in 1816 to serve as an illustrious residence for John Blackburn, a wealthy Glasgow sugar merchant at the time. Situated between the Campsie Fells and the Kilpatrick Hills the house stood close to where the Blane runs into Endrick Water, which in turn drains into Loch Lomond approximately 6 miles north west of the house. The location was chosen for its stunning rural beauty whilst being within easy reach of Glasgow.

The redevelopment of Killearn House (into 3 houses and 10 apartments) was undertaken just a few years ago and was a significant architectural work and today the new house provides an idyllic retreat for those who would wish to call it home. The building sits amidst grounds of just over 2 acres that include extensive lawns and a private gravelled parking area for residents. Next to the parking area is a garage block and the property has a single car garage with electrically operated door. Beyond the immediate gardens, is a common area of amenity ground of more than four acres, owned jointly by the proprietors of Killearn House Development and the neighbouring farmer, with a vehicular and pedestrian right of access over the drive leading to the development.

On entering the building, the luxuriously appointed and welcoming communal reception hall has a lift giving access to each floor, with Number 8 located on the first floor of the building. Moving from the lift, access to the apartment is via a naturally lit galleried feature hallway with a sizeable glazed rooflight above. The apartment itself is an exceptionally spacious and beautifully presented four bedroomed home of around 2230 square feet, with glorious views over the grounds from each of the main rooms. Features of the apartment include a stunning 34 foot long lounge/dining room, a fully fitted and equipped Porcelanosa kitchen and Porcelanosa bathrooms (with underfloor heating), three large double bedrooms (master with ensuite), study/bedroom 4, fresh and neutral shades of décor, timber flooring, beautiful double glazed astragalled windows and gas fired central heating.

This semi-rural setting on the outskirts of Killearn is perfect for those wishing to enjoy the benefits of country living yet being only 1.5 miles from the centre of Killearn and a selection of local amenities. These include a range of shops, coffee shop, pub and restaurant, delicatessen, hairdressers, vet and doctors’ surgery and the excellent local schooling includes Killearn Primary School which subsequently feeds into the excellent Balfron High School. The village is surrounded by picturesque scenery including a local playpark and acclaimed walking routes include the West Highland Way and The Pipe Track taking you from Killearn, past Dumgoyne and Glengoyne distillery, to Blanefield. A choice of the A809 and A81 provide easy access south to the nearby suburbs of Milngavie and Bearsden and beyond to Glasgow City Centre and north, to the nearby Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and to Stirling.
