An exceptional family home with beautiful south facing rear garden, which benefits from a peaceful and sheltered location on the edge of Milngavie village.
No 4 Bankell Farm Steading is the largest detached home in this intimate 'steading' development of only eight properties, providing flawless, well proportioned accommodation which maximises natural light and has stunning main living rooms with vaulted/beamed ceilings, and large sliding glass doors opening onto the beautifully landscaped south facing garden, which includes a delightful garden “Orb” room, green house and hot tub, covered by a hydraulic Covanagh.
The property provides generous room sizes seldom found in modern property and extends to over 3800 square feet, including the integral double garage.
Our clients bought the property new in 2020 and there has been no expense spared in creating not only a wonderful home internally, but huge investment was invested in the garden, such as the dry-stone dyke wall forming the boundary to the front of the house, with wooden electric gates guarding the sweeping gravelled driveway. Also to the rear, full landscaping with raised flower beds, beautiful resin based sun terrace directly outside the sliding doors and beautiful strategically placed sitting areas, making the most of the suns orientation. In addition, the rear garden is very private and provides superb open views over farmland and trees, towards Glasgow City beyond.
Our floor plan and video will give a better idea of form and layout, but a brief summary of the accommodation comprises, on the ground floor ; entrance vestibule leading to the reception hall with cloakroom (wc/whb), superb staircase with glass balustrade and double doors giving access to the main living rooms. Quite breath-taking lounge with vaulted ceiling and doors to garden, similar living kitchen with beamed ceiling and doors to garden (both these rooms benefit from a central solid fuel stove), large utility/laundry room with access to pet friendly, secure, side garden complete with Astro Turf, and guest/bedroom 4 with en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. There is also access to the double garage from the rec hall.
