Property Description
- Large five bedroomed detached home
- Fabulous location to the outskirts of Balfron Village
- Stunning backdrop to established treeline across rolling farmland
- Significantly redeveloped (2007) from original property (c.1965)

Originally constructed c.1965, ‘Drumtochty’ is an equally charming yet sizeable and impressive property that was designed in a cottage style but has, over time, been developed into a large, adaptable family home. The property occupies a highly appealing position to the outskirts of Balfron, with the most stunning backdrop across farmland and towards the Fintry Hills/Campsie Fells whilst being minutes from the amenity rich village centre. A true ‘forever’ family home, with early first-hand inspection advised.
Internally, the property delivers on a number of fronts, with great room sizes found across the eight principal apartments – it really is assessment of the rear elevation that will reveal the space on offer here. Highlights of the specification are many and varied – a roof set to beautiful Scottish slate, solid oak and mahogany floors across much of the ground floor, contemporary PVCu double glazing, Worcester Bosch Greenstar 8000 style boiler (installed in 2024 with associated plumbing also upgraded at the time). As part of the renovation/development project undertaken by our clients, a stunning architect designed (Designworks) sun room was added as a seamless addition to the formal lounge – a fabulous space with vaulted ceiling and exposed trusses – a perfect space to sit and enjoy the stunning situation of the property.

Outstanding local Primary and Secondary schooling can be found within the nucleus of the village centre. A bus service connects the village to surrounding districts and, indeed, to Glasgow City.
