Courtyard Cottage, Blanefield, Glasgow, Stirlingshire G63

Spacious country living with exceptional views

Description
Courtyard Cottage is an exceptional detached home with considerable proportions, offering a private and secluded rural setting. It boasts stunning elevated views towards the Campsie Fells and occupies a commanding position at the end of a private driveway.

Formerly a Victorian coach house, stables and adjoining cottages, the property was altered and extended in the 1980s. Constructed of stone under a tiled roof this thoughtful conversion seamlessly blends historic charm with modern comfort. The property enjoys an idyllic position, with its grounds extending to around 3.5 acres including an established woodland and a substantial garden mainly laid to lawn.

Approached via a long driveway, the striking exterior details of Courtyard Cottage, such as the distinctive Dutch barn-style roof and distinctive window style, make for a very attractive first impression.

The property offers a spacious entrance hallway with a feature, handcrafted staircase, along with a tiled cloakroom WC. There is a dedicated breakfasting/dining area and a charming farmhouse-style kitchen featuring a central island, country-style units, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, an electric aga, and a Belfast sink. A dedicated utility room has a door leading to the garden. Off the entrance hall, a long hallway connects to the other side of the cottage where a separate sitting area, shower room and two well proportioned bedrooms are located.
Upstairs, the magnificent drawing room boasts exceptional views, polished maple flooring, an open fireplace, and multi-aspect windows. The principal bedroom suite is well proportioned and offers a luxury en suite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe.

Externally, the large detached triple garage was added in 2007 offering plenty of parking and workshop space. This versatile outbuilding also features a temperature-controlled wine cellar and a first-floor studio, which offers a perfect environment for a home gym, office, or creative space.

The vibrant hubs of Milngavie (7 miles) and Bearsden (6.7 miles) are located to the southeast of the property and offer an extensive and diverse array of independent shops, well-known retail chains, and essential services like banks and healthcare providers. Crucially, both Milngavie and Bearsden are home to railway stations, providing connections into Glasgow and beyond. For everyday essentials, Blanefield village is just 4 miles away.

Glasgow City Centre is very easily accessible, being only 13.8 miles away, and is reachable in approximately 30 minutes by car.

One of Courtyard Cottage’s most compelling features is its direct access to the great outdoors.
