Property Description

West Kilbank Cottage is an outstanding traditional long house dating back to the 17th century and as such is now presented to the open market for the first time as a fully finished, true walk-in condition home.

Having Lain empty for over a century the current owner purchased the property in the early 2000s and brought it back to life with a generous, full renovation to the inside and out to now provide wonderful, genuine all on level accommodation which boasts decor sympathetic to the style of the home and rural setting which also allows for breath-taking views down Clyde Valley.

The exceptional position of the property ensures substantial garden grounds extending to approximately three and a half acres split into one acre of gardens, and two and a half acres of grazing ground.

The interior of the home is sympathetic to the surrounding landscape with its style and decor but clearly takes influence from modern living, comprising rear entrance into the substantial kitchen with dual aspects provides a range of contemporary wall and base mounted gloss finish units with complimentary worktop and a focal point range cooker, ample space to the front of the kitchen for a sizable dining table. This especially bright and spacious area extended into an open plan lounge which also features dual aspects and a feature wood burning stove. To the rear of the kitchen an excellent sized utility suite with a further fine selection of units and appliance space, adjacent is a tiled bathroom boasting skylight and a four-piece white suite.
