2 bedroom cottage for sale

Welcome to Rose Cottage, a beautifully restored two-bedroom home nestled in gorgeous gardens within the charming semi-rural hamlet of Kelvinhead, an easy commute from Glasgow.

The current owners have modernised the property to an exacting standard, including rewiring the entire home, installing high-quality wood flooring throughout, re-rendering the external walls, upgrading the heating system with smart-electric radiators in each room, and professionally insulating the property.

The spacious living room features a fireplace that uses one of the original flues. The large dining kitchen boasts a slate tile floor, recently upgraded cabinetry, and new integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, and fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is a fully renovated utility room with a new ceiling featuring exposed beams, new cabinetry, a washer and tumble dryer, and an integrated wine fridge.

Off the hallway, you'll find a fully remodelled bathroom with full-height tiling and shaker-style units. The principal bedroom is generously sized with a panel-effect feature wall and grand integrated wardrobes with feature lighting that offers extensive storage. The second bedroom is also a good-sized double room.

Adjoining the property is a purpose-built home office with its own patio, incorporating the original stone wall as a key feature along with exposed roof beams. This could easily be upgraded to be accessed from the current living room.

The gardens at Rose Cottage are simply magnificent. The front garden offers exceptional privacy and is fully enclosed with mature hedging. It has numerous rose bushes, a clematis-covered arch, well-maintained lawns, and elegantly planted raised beds. The rear garden enjoys an elevated position, bursting with established trees and plants. It features a rustic patio with a fire pit, a walkthrough pergola covered in wisteria, and a functional shed. An additional garage and further parking adjacent to the property are accessed through a shared driveway.

The home also has access to a secluded meadow of approximately half an acre, fully enclosed and bordered by the source of the River Kelvin. A path at the front of the property leads to the Forth & Clyde Canal.

The village of Banton is less than 1 km away and offers a local primary school, a community-owned gastro pub, and a shop. The larger town of Kilsyth is just 3 km away and has an array of amenities, including a high school, nurseries, GP surgery, and supermarket. Glasgow and Stirling are both a 15-minute drive from Rose Cottage. The local area offers an abundance of excellent walks and cycling paths, with a number of local golf courses, fishing sites, and gyms.

Rose Cottage also has extensive scope for growth, and there are numerous ways in which the property can be extended both at ground level and through the roof.
