Description.

The original Killearn House, formerly part of Croy Leckie Estate, dated from the 17th century and fell into considerable disrepair in the 20th century.

The “new” Killearn House was built some twenty years ago and is a grander replication of the former mansion, of ten luxury apartments. In addition, two “mews” houses and a cottage were built. Flat 9 is one of only two penthouse flats on the top floor (2nd) and is set on the northeast and northwest corner.

Being on the top floor, it enjoys the bright, and dramatic, feature of the fully glazed roof of the resident’s central atrium (see photos). As clients can also see from our imagery the apartment is immaculately presented and boasts a high spec with Porcelanosa kitchen, utility room, bathroom, and ensuite shower room. Central heating is mains gas with a Worcester Greenstar 42 CDi condensing combination boiler. Electric underfloor heating is in the bathroom and the large ensuite shower room. In keeping with the origins of the former house the windows are traditional in style, with astragals, with timber frames and double-glazed panes. Internal doors are in solid oak. Water and electricity are mains with drainage to a modern, communal, bio-disc system.

The garden grounds are communal and extensive with expanses of lawn and a generous, gravel, resident’s/visitor car park. Each flat has their own, larger than standard, single garage with remote-controlled electric garage door.

Summary of Accommodation

A security controlled, video, door-entry system opens to a lovely communal carpeted entrance hall and then solid, open-tread, staircase. A lift also provides access to each floor. The central, full height, atrium with dramatic glass roof throws an abundance of daylight down this central core.

The flat itself has a long, wide, L-shaped hall with walk-in store and a further, smaller, brooms cupboard along with hallway access to one of the two fire escape stairwells. The lounge/dining room has three windows around two sides with open views, north-easterly and north-westerly with double-door access both from the hall and to the kitchen. This, along with the flats. 2.6-metre-high ceilings add to the sense of space. A fire is wall mounted at the focal point. The kitchen has room for a breakfast table and chairs and as one can see from the photos the Porcelanosa kitchen units are of a smart, contemporary, design and feature solid composite worktops. Appliances include – 5-burner gas hob, cooker-hood, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher (all by Neff). Adjacent is a useful utility room with sink and integrated washer-dryer.

Both bedrooms are fine doubles with the primary bedroom featuring a large ensuite shower room with an oversized, open-ended, shower enclosure featuring a powerful thermostatic shower with both deluge and hand shower heads. Chrome towel radiator. To service bedroom 2, and for guests, is the bathroom which has another thermostatic shower set over the bath. Flooring includes a quality self-coloured carpet running from the hall through to the lounge/dining room and bedrooms with floor tiles in the kitchen, utility, bathroom, and ensuite

Situation

Killearn House is located at the end of a long, half-mile, private drive and is discreetly positioned by established woodland, fields, and amidst extensive communal gardens to the south of the Blane Water, north of the Dualt Burn, and east of Carnock Burn. It is just under two miles to the centre of Killearn village. Here there is a traditional village pub with a great restaurant, the Old Mill Inn. Also, there are two cafes, a very well stocked Co-op, Pharmacy, Health Centre, Parish Church, Village Hall and Tennis Club. As a backdrop, and as aerial shots in part show, is the stunning hill ranges of The Campsie’s, Dumgoyne (Glengoyne whisky distillery here), and the Fintry Hills.

Despite its rural seclusion, the suburb of Milngavie is just under 10 miles away (with railway station with also one at Balloch, also 10 miles away), with Glasgow City centre some 16 miles, Stirling 22 miles, and Edinburgh about 56 miles. By car, Glasgow International Airport is about a 40-minute drive.

Killearn is just beyond the very south-easterly fringe of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park (Scotland's first National Park) and as such, some of the most stunning UK countryside, lochs, and mountains are on your doorstep.

The property management company for the development is Newton of Glasgow.
