5 bed detached house for sale

The Old Manse, Tannoch, Milngavie G62

A stunning traditional detached home providing beautifully presented accommodation of ten principal apartments, set amidst extensive, completely private garden grounds.

One of the oldest houses in the Tannoch Conservation Area, this substantial stone-built villa is tucked well back from Mugdock Road, offering complete privacy, yet is only a few hundred yards from all Milngavie town centre amenities.

As our photographs and video show, the interior is tastefully presented and provides comfortable family accommodation comprising: Entrance vestibule leading to reception hall; superb main lounge with fireplace; living room with fireplace; dining room with fireplace; open-plan kitchen with breakfast area and separate office space; utility room; store room; and cloakroom.

On the first floor, there is a principal bedroom suite with a large en-suite bathroom and dressing room (formerly a bedroom), two further double bedrooms, and a main bathroom. On the second floor, there are two additional bedrooms and a shower room.

Without doubt, one of the main attractions of this superb home is the fabulous garden grounds and outdoor areas. A gravelled driveway leads from Milngavie Road to electric gates, which give access to the driveway that sweeps around to the front of the house.

The front garden is in two distinct parts: The formal garden is laid out with a level lawn, bordered by beautiful shrubs and specimen trees, with a delightful summer house tucked in one corner, providing the perfect place for peace and quiet, fully fitted with electrics and Wi-Fi for evening entertaining.

Leading from the double glass-opening kitchen doors, there is a paved stone patio providing an ideal outdoor seating area with an electric canopy. From the patio, through a direct hidden door, is external storage, a BBQ area, additional outdoor seating, and gravelled pathways through ornamental shrub and flower borders.

A further gravelled driveway leads to the rear of the house, where there is a double garage. There are two outhouses and a charming sheltered seating area which overlooks a well-stocked vegetable garden.

The wildflower area at the lower front garden is slightly contoured, with ground cover and some specimen trees.

This area has current planning permission for the construction of a two-storey detached property, extending to approximately 3,000 sq ft.

The entire garden boundary is screened by mature trees, hedging, and an amazing mix of plants, shrubs, and flowers, providing total privacy and seclusion from surrounding properties.

The Tannoch Conservation Area is a remarkably peaceful location, yet lies only a 10-minute walk from the house to Milngavie’s pedestrianised village centre, railway station, and Milngavie Primary School. On Mugdock Road is the preparatory school for Glasgow Academy. To the east of Milngavie is the Green Forest Nursery for Kelvinside Academy. In neighbouring Bearsden, you'll find the Junior School for The High School of Glasgow, with its secondary campus located at Anniesland.

Milngavie is well served by excellent local amenities, with a wide range of shops, bars, and restaurants. The convenience of four major supermarkets adds to the appeal, and it is famously the starting (and finishing) point of the world-renowned West Highland Way. For fitness and wellbeing, the Nuffield Health Milngavie Gym is located on Strathblane Road.

Please note that the owners would prefer to sell the property and building plot as a whole, but may entertain offers for the house plus garden and building plot separately. If you wish further information on this, please contact Nicola Palmer at our Bearsden branch on .
