Property description & features

Situated in the picturesque village of Balmore, north of Glasgow, East Acredyke is an attractive and characterful Victorian stone cottage, built around 1860. Over the last 20 years, it has been sympathetically extended by the present owners to provide a substantial 4 bedroom family home.
The house is set in almost an acre of mature garden grounds and faces south, with views over open countryside. The rural setting offers a variety of local walks in the beautiful parish of Baldernock, as well as easy access to shopping and services in nearby Milngavie. Balmore is ideally placed for commuting into Glasgow and the rest of the Central Belt.
In terms of accommodation, the property is entered through a front porch and from there into a hallway and staircase, with an understairs family bathroom. The heart of the home is the bright welcoming dining room with the wood-burning stove and adjoining kitchen. The fitted kitchen, with floor and wall-mounted cupboards, includes a gas cooker and dish-washer. From there, a door leads to the rear porch, with a larder (with original slate shelves), a boiler cupboard and a utility room with washing machine.
Within the original cottage, there is a bay-window lounge, with some period features, such as cornicing and an ornamental fire-place. Upstairs, there are 2 good-sized double bedrooms: the principal bedroom has a bay window and the second one has integrated storage cupboards. An extension above the kitchen, added in 2004, provides a third bedroom/home office.
The double height extension to the west of the property, built in 2002, provides a bright family sitting room with a feature timber staircase that accesses a double bedroom with ensuite shower room. There is a double glazed side door to the west, which leads out into the garden and a sunny patio.
The property has gas central heating (mains gas) and the windows are a mixture of original timber sash and case windows, secondary glazing and double glazing.
In the grounds, there is a stone-built garage, with pitched slate roof (built in 2012) and a substantial garden house/log cabin, which could be used as a teenage break-out room or home office.
The local primary school, which is within walking distance, over the local golf course, is unique in offering a nurturing and stimulating learning environment, in small class sizes, while making the most of their outdoor rural space.
