Originally built as a hunting lodge in the 1800s, Auchineden House is an imposing country house that has subsequently been converted into six individual apartments.

Auchineden House is set amidst extensive communal garden grounds of well over 2 acres that feature extensive lawns and woodland and is approached by a long, three quarter mile private driveway from the Stockiemuir Road. No. 6 enjoys its own main door access and has one of the best positions in the building, having its own private garden area that features a sheltered and private sitting area, meandering stream and a profusion of rhododendron bushes and shrubs. The apartment also enjoys its own garage (which has currently been fitted out as a home office) and there is ample parking next to the property.

The current owner has spent considerable expense combining a modern specification with many lovely traditional features and a sizeable Everest built double glazed conservatory takes in the lovely garden views. In brief, the accommodation extends to a sizeable welcoming hallway with built-in cupboards and a W/C. The main living area is a large and cosy lounge that features a fireplace. At the far end, double doors open through to the conservatory that features a slate floor and double doors opening out to the gardens. The lounge is laid out open plan with a sizeable kitchen area that comes complete with extensive wall mounted and counter level units along with a breakfast bar arrangement and an inbuilt double oven, hob, extractor hood, fridge and dishwasher.

From the reception hall, there is access to a built-in store cupboard and to the large double bedroom which benefits from a fantastic walk-in storage cupboard/wardrobe. This lovely bedroom features a solid wood floor and inset downlighting and next to the bedroom is a recently fitted shower-room with white three piece suite. The property is warmed by an effective wet central heating system, with radiators in each of the rooms.

Beautifully presented and very comfortable, this property would undoubtedly suit the single person or professional couple or for those looking to downsize to a beautiful rural setting yet still within easy reach of the surrounding villages of Blanefield, Strathblane, Killearn and Drymen. Milngavie and Bearsden are only a ten minute drive away and Glasgow city centre can be reached by car in around twenty five minutes.
