4 bedroom detached house

Beautifully presented family home close to sought after village.

Description

Cairnlea Cottage enjoys a rural setting to the north of Drymen, surrounded by rolling fields and with wide open outlooks towards the Campsie hills.

The original house is believed to have been built around 1968 and has since been extended to form the lovely family home it is today.

The front door and decked terrace lead into the welcoming reception hallway. Off here to the left is the sitting room which has French doors out to the deck. The dining kitchen includes modern floor and wall units, double oven and large hob, tiled splashback and a breakfast bar. The dining area has glazed patio doors leading to the decking area and there is a utility room off the kitchen which accesses the rear garden. From the dining area a door to the inner hallway opens into the main living room. This is a fantastic bright space with a wood-beamed vaulted ceiling and double height floor to ceiling windows at the gable end, while stairs rise up to a mezzanine study area. Two good sized bedrooms sit on the ground floor, one with an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom completes this level. Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms, one being the principal bedroom with spacious dressing area and with an en suite bathroom, while the other has its own shower room.

There is a generous driveway with parking for several cars, and steps to the front lead to a large decked sitting area. To the rear is an artist’s studio or home office and a useful outbuilding. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved patio area with shrubs and plants.

Location

Cairnlea Cottage is an attractive detached family home with mature gardens and uninterrupted open southerly views to the Campsie Fells.

The property lies close to the delightful Stirlingshire village of Drymen, just under 20 miles north of Glasgow. The setting is characterised by the Campsie Fells to the south, which rise to a height of 578m, and Loch Lomond to the north.

Drymen has an excellent range of local amenities including a library, post office, grocer, butcher, chemist and village pub as well as an art gallery, restaurant and two hotels. The village has its own primary school and the well respected Balfron High School is within 4 miles. Nearby Killearn is another pretty village with further services.

The Arrochar Alps which include four Munros (mountains over 3,000 ft) and Corbetts are a short drive away boasting challenging routes for walking and climbing enthusiasts. Loch Lomond, part of Scotland’s first National Park, is within very easy reach and is well known for its water sports including wind surfing, sailing and excellent water skiing. Fishing enthusiasts have the choice of Loch Lomond, the Lake of Menteith and the River Endrick which runs nearby. The West Highland Way is also within close proximity of Cairnlea Cottage.

There are a number of golf courses in the area including Loch Lomond Golf Course, a former host to the Scottish Open and other international events. Other golf courses include Balfron, Buchanan Castle, Hilton Park, Milngavie and Stirling.

The area is extremely popular with families taking advantage of the excellent local schooling and with commuters to Glasgow, Stirling and Edinburgh.
