Located in the charming village of Gartmore, within the breathtaking Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Eastwood is a beautifully renovated end terrace villa steeped in history and modern luxury.

Eastwood was originally constructed around 1905, and in 2015, the current owners embarked on an extensive renovation project, stripping the property back to its bare walls and foundations. The result is a seamless blend of traditional charm and contemporary comfort. The addition of a rear extension and a loft conversion doubled the original floor area, providing ample space for modern living.

The renovation included modern amenities such as underfloor heating powered by an Air Source Heat Pump and Nest Smart Thermostats for efficient climate control and Kingspan insulation. Two log burners add both warmth and ambiance to the living spaces. The windows to the front are Blair’s sash and case double-glazed units, made to match the conservation requirements. The windows and doors to the rear are Nordan wooden doors and windows, with external aluminium cladding to provide a long-lasting and weather-resistant finish.

The kitchen boasts solid timber units, Iroko wood worktops, and high-end appliances including a Smeg induction range cooker. The attention to detail throughout the house is evident with wooden flooring complementing the underfloor heating downstairs and plush carpeting upstairs.

Natural light floods the dining area, which features a custom fitted wall cabinet with integrated lighting. Both front and back reception rooms showcase top of the range Chesney wood burners, perfect for cosy evenings in.

From the principal bedroom, there are views to Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument (on a clear day) and the Touch hills beyond. From the front bedrooms, there are views of the summit of Ben Lomond. The top floor loft conversion adds a fourth bedroom and serves as the entry point for high-speed Fibre internet, ensuring connectivity throughout the house. The loft is well insulated and has the addition of sheeps wool insulation in the eaves. The eaves provide a substantial storage area.

Accommodation in full comprises; welcoming reception hallway, bay windowed sitting room, large open plan kitchen kitchen/dining room and additional sitting room, utility area and cloakroom WC. Stairs from the hallway lead to the first floor and three bedrooms plus a well appointed family bathroom. The upper level loft conversion provides a fourth bedroom or home office.

The garden at Eastwood underwent a remarkable transformation initiated by its green-thumbed owners. Starting with just a single tree and no grass in 2015, it has since blossomed into a vibrant haven featuring diverse herbaceous borders, a thriving vegetable patch, and habitats designed to attract local wildlife. A well-appointed patio provides an ideal spot for alfresco dining during the warmer months, leading to a small, lush lawn. Midway down the garden, a well-equipped potting shed offers both internal and external lighting and power, while a tranquil wildlife pond entices frogs and newts.

Further along, established vegetable and herb beds complement the garden's biodiversity. The space culminates in a charming wildlife meadow dotted with fruit trees and a cosy willow den. Come spring, the garden bursts to life with snowdrops and a plethora of bulbs. At the garden's end stands a substantial Scottish Larch workshop and store, meticulously crafted on a concrete foundation by Graham Sandals Joinery. Currently serving as a workshop with integrated shelving, it holds potential for conversion into a garden room, thanks to its high-quality construction and provision for insulation. Adjacent is a spacious log store capable of housing three years' worth of firewood harvested from the nearby Queen Elizabeth Forest.

Completing the garden's amenities is a covered sandpit and bin storage area. A gate grants access to a neighbouring path leading to the back lane, enhancing the garden's connectivity. Notably, outdoor power sources are strategically placed at the back of the house, potting shed, and workshop, all powered by buried armoured cables.

Gartmore, nestled within the idyllic surroundings of Loch Lomond National Park, boasts a rich history and vibrant community spirit.
