Description.
Built by John Lawrence some 50 years ago, this detached house is a sizeable family home, further benefiting from a rear extension (kitchen). It has four bedrooms plus a handy box room (Velux window) that would make a good home office, small single bedroom, or just for general storage. Living space is more than catered for with four public rooms plus a custom-made quality conservatory (brick coursework and with double glazed hardwood framed windows, and glass roof) by Cairns, from 2001. Around the same time the sanitary ware in the ensuite bathroom, the shower room (the large shower enclosure further renewed in more recent times), and the WC were renewed.
Central heating is supplied by oil (Worcester boiler) to which water heating is supplemented by the installation (2022) of PV solar panels. The house has an alarm. Integrated to the house structure is a double garage with power, light, and water tap. Beyond the usefulness of the box room, a section of the roof space has been floored, lined, and has two Velux windows to make for a further very handy storage area, or hobbies room (loft ladder for access).
As clients will see from the floor plans, and imagery, the subjects are of a fine size and would well satisfy the demands of family life.
The position of the house, at the top of the estate, is fabulous. To the front, firstly, fine views over the village and, secondly, having a rear garden that backs onto the foothills of The Campsie Fell hill range, such a dramatic backdrop and feature of the village.

Situation
Blanefield, and its immediate adjoining village of Strathblane, is a delightful place in which to reside with a terrific local primary school, with secondary provision at the highly regarded Balfron High to which a bus service is provided. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has some local shops, including a general store and the very well-stocked Greens of Strathblane. The local hotel, The Kirkhouse inn, has a village pub and an Italian restaurant. There is a health centre, bowling green and tennis club and an active village hall. The area is surrounded by some lovely walks, and it sits proudly at the foot of The Campsie Fells, which provides such a stunning backdrop to the village. There is a bus service, and the suburb of Milngavie is only some 3.5 mile away where there is an extensive array of shops and services, and a railway station with regular services to Glasgow.
