Occupying one of the best locations north of Glasgow, this stunning detached home is set amidst approximately five acres of beautiful garden grounds, positioned on the edge of a small loch, with direct views onto the Campsie Hills.
Bracken House was built in the 1960s. The current owners have sympathetically upgraded the home during their 15 years of occupancy, maximising the spectacular views and natural light.
The house extends to around 5,300 sq ft and offers generously proportioned and flexible family accommodation over two levels. Our video and floorplan will provide a better idea of form and layout, but a brief summary of the accommodation is as follows:
Reception hall with fireplace; home office area with access to the terrace; fabulous drawing room with fireplace; dining room; sitting room with fireplace; superb living/dining kitchen with windows on three elevations and terrace access; large utility room with terrace access; boot room with cloakroom off; and guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
The hardwood staircase leads to the upper hall, where there is a sitting/study area with a balcony. The principal bedroom suite features a balcony, large dressing room, and a spacious en-suite bathroom with additional balcony. There are three further double bedrooms, an en-suite bathroom, a family bathroom, and extensive storage.
The superb grounds extend to around five acres of beautifully kept gardens.
A sandstone wall and high hedges offer complete privacy, whilst electric wrought iron gates give access to the sweeping gravel driveway, taking you past two ornamental ponds, leading to the front of the house. The gardens are mainly lawn for ease of maintenance with ornamental shrub beds, random specimen trees and a fully fenced tennis court located in one corner. A wide terrace runs the entire length of the rear of the house and around the kitchen elevation. In addition there is a sheltered deck area with ‘BBQ house’ and pathway giving access down to the lochside where there is a further sheltered seating area and jetty. Deil’s Craig reservoir is jointly owned by the seven adjoining properties, all have boating access rights.
Bracken House benefits from this glorious lochside location on the edge of Strathblane village, surrounded by open countryside and the Campsie fells.
Glasgow can be reached by car in less than 30 minutes, with Stirling and Edinburgh both easily accessible. The local village provides a selection of essential amenities, whilst nearby Milngavie and Bearsden offer a much wider range of shops, schooling, and sports clubs. In addition the local area is rich in outdoor activities including Mugdock country park, walking trails and golf courses.
