8 bedroom detached bungalow for sale

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an extended eight bedroom smallholding set on the edge of Lenzie, surrounded by open farmland, neighbouring playing fields and far reaching views towards the Campsie Hills. The original smallholding dates back to around 1935, with a substantial extension added in the early 1990s, creating a home that blends its original character with generous later additions. The setting feels peaceful and open, yet there is a genuine sense of everyday comfort throughout the house. While there are projects still to be completed, it is easy to see how rewarding this home could be for someone willing to invest time and imagination into finishing and upgrading it.

Despite its rural feel, the location works extremely well for commuting. Access to the motorway network is straightforward, allowing travel into Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond with relative ease, making this an appealing option for those who want space without isolation.

On arrival, a wide and welcoming hallway immediately sets the tone, offering plenty of room to leave coats, boots and everyday clutter behind before moving further into the house. From here, the home opens into two distinct wings, giving a natural sense of separation and flexibility. The layout lends itself well to a variety of living arrangements, whether that is accommodating a larger family, providing quieter areas for working from home, or dedicating rooms to hobbies and interests. While there are eight bedrooms in total, several of the rooms could easily be repurposed as a study, games room or creative space if fewer bedrooms are required. The house is served by three bathrooms along with an ensuite off the main bedroom.

There are three lounges, each offering a different atmosphere. The front sitting room features a coal effect gas fireplace and leads through to a large conservatory, which becomes a natural place to relax and take in the evening light, with west facing views that capture the sunsets. A scullery sits off this part of the house, making it particularly well suited to multi generational living or for an older relative or teenagers who would appreciate a degree of independence within the home. The main living room is a bright and welcoming space throughout the day thanks to windows on two aspects, and for cosier evenings a multi fuel stove sits at its heart. Within the original section of the house, two of the three bedrooms retain open fireplaces, which are believed to be disused but remain a reminder of the property’s earlier history.

The kitchen sits adjacent to the main living room and has been partially renovated. It enjoys open views across the rear garden and neighbouring farmland, creating a pleasant outlook for day to day life. A door from the kitchen leads directly out to the garden, strengthening the connection between the house and its surroundings. The property benefits from gas central heating and is served by a septic tank.

Outside, the grounds provide a variety of useful and enjoyable spaces. To the front and side, a large driveway offers off street parking for multiple vehicles. There are two separate ancillary barn buildings of brick construction with pitched, timber framed roofs clad in corrugated cement sheeting, offering excellent storage or scope for further use. To the front of the property there is a chicken run which includes a coop and a poly-tunnel, while to the rear a timber framed greenhouse with a pitched polycarbonate roof sits alongside the garden. A sheltered courtyard patio is accessed via French doors from the main bedroom, providing a private spot to sit out, with smaller garden areas positioned around the house for relaxing, growing produce or simply enjoying the open outlook.

This is a home that invites imagination, offering space to grow into and the opportunity to shape it over time into something truly special.
