Set at the very foothills of The Campsie Fells our clients commissioned the construction of East Blairtummock and, with their architect, have created a contemporary, very efficient, Detached Country Home in the rural district of Campsie Glen some 1.6 miles east of Strathblane and approximately 2 miles west of Clachan of Campsie. Set off Strathblane (A891) at the end of a long sweeping grave drive it sits proudly on an elevated spot to take advantage of a wonderful southerly view across the farmland valley of Campsie Glen. It has immediate formal gardens, including a delightful sun terrace, of approximately 0.4 acres in addition to which it has fenced land (mainly hillside pasture fields) of approximately 6.5 acres. Our clients, a retired couple, designed the house for themselves as a two-bedroom property, both with en-suite shower rooms, but there is, in addition to the main living room (a spacious lounge/dining room) an artist's studio and a further very large room (designated as a storage room) on the first floor along with a workshop on the ground floor. If additional bedrooms are needed, then there is obvious capability here for said use or specific allocation, subject to planning approval - the large storage room, for example, could perfectly accommodate both a bedroom and a bath/shower room should permissions grant. The house was, in large part, designed for easy living and for futureproofing. The air source heat pump, along with high levels of insulation, provides for efficient heating and indeed our clients receive, we understand, some £1,300 per annum return from their RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive) feed-in tariff. The windows on the ground floor are all triple glazed, the Velux windows, upstairs, double glazed. In addition to the underfloor heating (wet system) there is mains electricity supplied emersion heating for the hot water as a backup as well as the luxury of a wood burning stove by Jotul in the lounge which, when on, permeates heat throughout the house. Aesthetically, the house is very considered with a deep overhanging roof line to provide shelter, particularly above the French doors of the lounge and the terrace there. The roof is slated to provide a nod to the rural nature of its situation with external walls smooth rendered accented with Siberian larch cladding detail. The windows, whilst finished in natural timber inside, are finished in maintenance free powder coated aluminium (anthracite grey colour) externally. Internal doors are solid oak, as are skirtings and facings. Décor is a cool palette of white and floor coverings include oak (hall, lounge/dining room, kitchen, Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2, staircase); tile (utility room, WC, both en-suite shower rooms); LVF wood plank click flooring (workshop, artist's studio, hobby room). The property is on mains water, BT landline and mains electricity in addition to that provided by the air source heat pump. Drainage is private and to a bio-disc plant located just beyond the east stone dyke wall of the formal garden. EPC: C Council Tax: G Tenure: Freehold
