4 bed detached house for sale

Gartocharn, Alexandria G83

Lochend Cottage is a charming and characterful detached home, quietly tucked away on the rural fringes of Gartocharn and surrounded by open countryside. Set within beautifully kept gardens and offering over 2,200 sq ft of flexible living, this four-bedroom cottage has been significantly upgraded by the current owners to create a warm, welcoming and wonderfully private home.

Originally dating from 1856, the property has been sympathetically extended and carefully modernised over the last decade. Notable upgrades include a full kitchen replacement, a new en suite, a new boiler and solar panels, extensive garden landscaping and a complete rebuild of the conservatory into a fully insulated sun room — a truly special space for taking in the ever-changing views.

The accommodation is laid out across two levels and begins with a broad, light-filled reception hallway which is accessed by a porch to the side of the cottage. There’s a formal living room with a multi-fuel stove, a versatile second sitting room (also with stove) with an open plan aspect to the dining area and country-style kitchen. This leads through to the sun room — ideal for hosting or simply enjoying the peaceful setting.

Also on the ground floor is a utility room, family bathroom, and two double bedrooms, including the principal suite with its own shower room. Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms, one of which features a coombed ceiling, exposed beams, and a far-reaching outlook across fields and hills. The property is double glazed throughout and benefits from oil-fired central heating.

Externally, the grounds wrap around the cottage with a mix of mature planting, a potting shed, greenhouse, and a vegetable garden. There’s a private driveway with extended parking and a feeling of complete seclusion, without being remote.

Positioned just behind the village of Gartocharn, Lochend Cottage enjoys easy access to Balloch, Drymen, and Loch Lomond — as well as direct public transport links via nearby bus routes and Balloch Station. Glasgow and Stirling are both within reach for commuting, while the village itself offers a well-regarded primary school, shop, and community hub.

A rare opportunity to own a countryside home with character, privacy and beautifully curated living space — all within easy reach of the city.
