A truly exceptional detached villa dating from 1936 and occupying a beautifully established triple feu plot, ‘Gorse View’ is a home of a type rarely available to the open market. The property is set along a private road in the midst of one of Milngavie’s most salubrious locations, backing onto the acreage of the Drumclog moor and with a stunning open/leafy outlook from its front elevation. A must see for those looking to acquire their ‘forever’ home.
Initial first-hand inspection will uncover the aesthetic charm of the building, with a sharp white render contrasted by black dressings and a beautiful slate roof. The property has been extended a few times across the duration of our clients ownership, with the main addition being the double storey extension to the westerly elevation of the building (1980). The lead roofed ground floor addition/garden room (currently set up as fourth bedroom) was implemented in 2010 and really adds to the versatility of the accommodation. All in, the subjects measure to an approximate of 2,400 sq.ft, with a roomy layout of seven principal apartments and three bathrooms truly providing corners and retreats for all of the family.
Summary of Accommodation
- Spacious entrance hallway with oak staircase, storage off
- Large bay windowed lounge – log burning stove as focal point
- Formal dining room – accessed to raised deck (south facing)
- Well appointed kitchen – shaker style units, integrated appliances by Bosch, terracotta tiling
- Boot/Cloaks area through to Utility Room/Pantry
- Study/Snug – triple aspect window formation
- Four notably spacious double bedrooms – including principal bedroom suite with dressing area and ensuite bathroom off and substantial secondary bedroom with full bay window
- Three bathrooms (one family bathroom, separate full shower room, ensuite off principal bedroom)
Timber framed, double glazed sash in casement windows across accommodation, central heating boiler by Worcester Bosch (implemented in 2021/zoned two floor heating system), partially floored attic.
Externally, the property sits upon a stunning garden plot that, to its rear, back onto to the expansive acreage of the Drumclog Moor. A monobloc drive follows around to a double garage (installed circa 1987), with an outbuilding (previously used as a stable/tack room ) provides additional storage for gardening equipment. The section of lawn to the front falls under the title of the property. Two timber decks lie to the southerly and westerly elevations of the property allowing ample room for outdoor furniture.
Situation
Drumclog Avenue is located not far from Tannoch Loch, with the Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs accessed just across Mugdock Road. and the expanse of Drumclog Moor (of which the property back on to). Along Mugdock Road is the Preparatory School for The Glasgow Academy, the catchment for the district being the highly regarded Milngavie Primary at the village centre. Secondary schooling is the high performing Douglas Academy.
Milngavie village centre (a charming pedestrianised centre) is under 1 mile and there is a broad range of quality retailers including independent stores and the High Street names of Marks & Spencer (Food Hall) and Tesco. A little further on is a large Waitrose and an Aldi at the West of Scotland Retail Park. There is a Railway Station with four trains an hour into Glasgow’s West End and City Centre.
A hard property to fault, both in terms of quality and location.
