3 bed detached house for sale

Cruachan, Gartocharn, Alexandria G83

Description

Set within the desirable village of Gartocharn and enjoying open countryside views, Cruachan is a characterful three-bedroom home set within generous private gardens. While the property offers a strong sense of individuality and an appealing rural setting, it does require modernisation and upgrading. This presents a clear opportunity for a purchaser to reconfigure and update the accommodation to their own specification, unlocking the property's full potential.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by the warmth found throughout the home, with attractive wooden floorboards laid in a number of rooms enhancing its timeless appeal. The accommodation flows through to a cosy and inviting lounge, where a feature open fire creates a wonderful focal point and a sense of comfort, perfectly suited to relaxing while enjoying views across the mature garden.

From here, the home opens into a lovely open-plan kitchen which flows seamlessly into a generous dining area, forming a sociable heart of the house ideal for family life and entertaining. The country-style kitchen is further enhanced by a stunning Aga, adding both charm and practicality while reinforcing the property's subtle French-chic character. A degree of refurbishment would allow a purchaser to further enhance and personalise this space.

The downstairs accommodation offers excellent flexibility, with two well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities ideal for family living or guest accommodation. The ground floor also enjoys the convenience of a separate bathroom, although some areas would benefit from updating to meet modern expectations.

A striking spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where the principal bedroom is positioned, providing a peaceful retreat with the added benefit of excellent access to attic storage.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a useful rear lean-to, ideal for drying outdoor clothing after scenic countryside walks, and a substantial outbuilding offering excellent storage or potential for use as a garage, workshop or studio, subject to any necessary consents. The mature garden, filled with established trees and shrubs, offers a wonderfully private, zen-like setting where a little care and investment could create a truly outstanding outdoor space.

Cruachan represents a fantastic opportunity for buyers seeking a home with character, space and potential. The property benefits from access to well-regarded local schooling, including Balfron High School and Vale of Leven Academy. Gartocharn enjoys a strong sense of community while being ideally positioned on the doorstep of Loch Lomond, with excellent commuting links to surrounding villages and onward routes to Dumbarton and Glasgow making this an ideal prospect for those seeking countryside living with scope to add value, without compromising on connectivity.
