NEW TO MARKET

M UGDOCK Village near Milngavie to the north of Glasgow is the setting for a charming country-style twobedroomed cottage with a difference.

Occupying part of a stable conversion originally belonging to the Dineiddwg Estate, it was designed around the turn of the 20th-century by the Glasgow architects’ practice Honeyman, Keppie and Mackintosh – Dineiddwg House was formerly the home of Sir Hugh Fraser.

The Cottage at The Stables benefits from enclosed, private walled gardens, off-road driveway parking and easy access to the surrounding open countryside in addition to neighbouring Mugdock Country Park and nearby reservoir walks.

While the external stone façade sports traditional detailing, such as a crow-stepped gables and a baronial-style turret, the interior has a fresh, contemporary vibe and spacious accommodation, comprising entrance hall with built-in storage; two double bedrooms with fitted storage; modern tiled bathroom with over-bath shower; 20ft living room with attractive brick fireplace, separate woodfloored dining room overlooking the garden; and an adjoining fully fitted kitchen with garden access, wood flooring/ work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for freestanding appliances.

Beautifully presented throughout, as it stands this is a very appealing home in an idyllic setting. However, there is also full planning consent and a building warrant to extend and develop the property into a two-storey, threebedroomed house.

This gives the cottage’s new owner the opportunity to create a substantial home if, or when, circumstances permit.

Nearby Milngavie’s pedestrianised town centre offers a wide range of amenities, shops, restaurants, Waitrose, train station (direct service to Glasgow and Edinburgh), leisure facilities, golf, tennis and other attractions, while Glasgow city centre and Stirling are both within easy reach.

Offers over £275,000 are invited by Corum Bearsden.

Despite its historic roots, this Milngavie cottage is full of modern charm
