A substantial stone built detached home providing flexible family accommodation of nine principal apartments, with the added advantage of a detached two bedroomed ‘cottage’, all set amidst sunny sheltered gardens, on the edge of this charming village.

Built circa 1900 from red stone with a grey slate roof, this large family home has been further extended to the rear and has the advantage of an attached annex to the side, with contrasting slate roof.

The floorplan and video will give a better idea of form and layout, but a summary of the accommodation comprises, on the ground floor: entrance vestibule, reception hall with original staircase, superb living/dining room with fireplace, beautiful kitchen/breakfast area with French doors to garden, guest bedroom with door to garden and en-suite shower room plus further a double bedroom which is currently used as a studio.

Upstairs there are four further double bedrooms, en-suite shower room and main bathroom. From the half landing there is access to a fantastic family room and home office area, which has a vaulted ceiling, stove, full glazing and doors giving direct access to the garden.

In addition to the main house, there is a large fully glazed sun room/studio located in the corner of the garden, and as previously mentioned, a two bedroom cottage to side. This annex generates great income through Airbnb for walkers, tourists and West Highland Wayers (income figures can be provided on request).

It is worth noting that the shaded display area on the floorplan is not included in the sale as the current owner would prefer to retain this for his business needs, but may be available by separate negotiation.

The house is well screened from the road by high hedging and paved/gravel driveway offering ample parking.

The delightful rear garden is completed enclosed and made up of a level lawn with established shrub and tree borders, whilst the large timber deck provides a sheltered outdoor entertaining space. This is accessed from the family room and links with the glazed sun room.

This is a fabulous country home on the edge of the village with a delightful garden and the option of generating income from the two bedroom annex.

Drymen itself offers a range of amenities including shops, restaurants, pubs including Scotland’s oldest licensed pub (The Clachan Inn), hotels including the Buchanan Arms Hotel & Spa, a medical practice and dentist. Drymen Primary School is situated within walking distance and subsequently feeds into the excellent Balfron High School to which, a regular bus service operates. The A811 also provides easy commuting links to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
