Property Description
Craigmillar Avenue is not only one of the prime addresses in Milngavie but also one of the most admired in Glasgow. In the high-value location of Tannoch and just around the corner from Tannoch Loch, and Milngavie Reservoir, it is but a few minutes’ walk to the village’s pedestrianised centre and therefore the excellent local amenities and facilities of the district are literally on your doorstep.
It is a home to a charming mix of pre-war properties with “Westercraigs” (No.5) one of the prettiest – a handsome stone-fronted home dating from circa 1935 and set up on a fine, level garden that is ideally orientated westwards, at the rear, for capturing the day's sun. Our client has enhanced the original layout with an excellent rear extension (2002) that adds a truly lovely family/dining room, off the kitchen, to brilliantly connect the house to the garden.
This is the first opportunity to acquire this house in nearly a quarter century and a rare chance to secure a home in this most prized of locations. It has been the happiest of homes for our client and will surely be for its new owner too. A fine home for family buyers it will, too, appeal to couples/individuals looking to downsize from larger properties.
