A unique opportunity to acquire an incredible five bedroom country home which has been constructed on the footprint of the former farm buildings to an exceptional specification by the architect owner.

Situated in the picturesque parish of Baldernock near Milngavie and within walking distance of Baldernock Primary School, the property offers versatile and spacious accommodation with outstanding, uninterrupted views.

The home is set within an impressive plot which has been thoughtfully landscaped to blend with the rural setting. A fabulous beech hedge encircles the property maximising privacy. A large expanse of decking runs the length of the house and leads to the rear patio doors, offering elevated aspects over the neighbouring countryside. Externally, the property is finished in natural sandstone beneath a slate roof finished with neat lead-work and aluminium rain water fittings.

The main gable wall is completely glazed and is one of the most prominent features of the house {often referred to as the "hoos wi the big gles windi"). The juxtapostion of glass and stone creates a pleasing contrast.

The property is accessed via a hedge lined driveway and you arrive in an enclosed parking area with access also to the large garage. Additional parking space is located at the side of the house. Entry into the property is through double wooden doors into the central courtyard and it is then that you experience the first of many wonderful views, a beautifully landscaped space with pond and fountain. A peaceful haven. Your eye is then led into the house itself and then through the glazed patio doors to the hills beyond. Layers of visual experiences.

The property is formed by three wings all of which offer floor to ceiling glazing and incorporate sliding doors which allow the courtyard to become part of the living space. The glazing has been designed to conceal the frames thus creating a seamless transition between the internal and external surfaces.

Wherever you look there is a new and beautiful vista to experience.

The main living space comprises a large open plan kitchen, dining and living space with double height vaulted ceiling. The room enjoys spectacular views down the valley through the completely glazed gable wall. A Scan log burning stove sits in front of the window. Sliding patio doors provide access to the decking and main garden area. The sleek and contemporary kitchen features an electric Aga with two gas rings, and a central island unit, an ideal space for informal entertaining. Off the kitchen area is a spacious utility room and pantry which has a door to a rear external utility space.

The master suite comprises a semi-open plan bedroom with glass partition to a free standing double bath and open shower area. The bath is located adjacent to the pond (on the other side of the glass) enhancing the bathing experience. A two way gas fire is located in the centre of the room. A fully fitted dressing room is located off the bedroom area.

At the opposite end of the home is a separate lounge which is the perfect spot for catching the morning sun, and beside this, a bedroom which is currently used by the owners as a fully equipped gym, with shower room off. Upstairs, the accommodation extends to two double bedrooms and a bathroom. At the other end of this wing, there is a small toilet and a stair leading to a gallery home office/studio, a further bathroom and a large room with Velux balcony window. This large space could serve as an additional bedroom, games room, self contained accommodation for an older person or teenager etc.

The large garage/workshop can be accessed from the house.

A central vacuum system has been installed throughout to ease cleaning, and a full alarm system has been installed.

This impeccable family home is conveniently located just five minutes drive from the popular suburb of Milngavie. The idyllic setting is perfect for anyone in search of country living while having the benefits of local village amenities including Waitrose and M&S Foodhall, medical and educational facilities. The local pedestrianised precinct offers a great selection of bars and restaurants, coffee shops, hairdressers and boutiques.

Baldernock is well placed for gaining quick, easy access to major road networks and the M8 motorway can be reached in approximately 20 minutes. Travelling north-west you can quickly reach Mugdock Country Park, the Campsie hills and Loch Lomond.
