4 Bedroom Detached House, Frenchmill Cottage, 1 Birdston Road, Milton Of Campsie, Glasgow G66 8BG

Balancing comfort, style and convenience, Frenchmill Cottage is a home combining modern luxury with a long-standing heritage. A former mill house set in three-quarters of an acre on the banks of The Glazert Water in the heart of the village, delivers the perfect mix of tradition and 21st century living, the result is a warm and vibrant family home, designed for laughter, enjoyment and entertaining.

Pull through the gated entrance and down the curving driveway. Hidden away by neat rows of boxwood hedge along the boundary, at the bottom of this substantial plot, extra parking for the home is provided with the addition of an electric car charging point.

Parking for approximately 5 cars is available at Frenchmill Cottage, an impressive home with a grey slate Mansard roof, sat proudly alongside a self-contained annex…. but more on that later.

Enter the capacious hallway onto the modern herringbone flooring giving plenty of room to hang coats and bags. Find a convenient cloakroom dressed in neutral tiles to the floor and walls, this refreshing room contains a wet room shower with WC and handbasin. A huge understairs cupboard meets essential storage needs.

Fully double glazed throughout, gas central heating provides the necessary warmth and comfort.

Wander through to the large and homely living dining room where herringbone flooring continues underfoot. The abundance of windows invites so much natural light in. Framed beautifully in made to measure pelmets in soft grey tones. Grey carpet distinguishes the cosy and inviting living area with a feature fireplace and French doors opening out to a decked seating area, ideal for a hot tub and relaxing evenings sipping champagne beneath the starlit skies listening to the bubbling of the river at the bottom of the garden.

Pass through the dining area to the rear of the room and enter the modern kitchen where greige cabinets provide plenty of storage, and integrated appliances include an electric oven and gas hob. A top-quality energy efficient Quooker water tap provides instant boiling water to speed up mealtimes and cups of tea making after a busy day.

Returning to the entrance hall, continue ahead to arrive at the first of four double bedrooms. Ascend the plush carpeted L shaped staircase and on this level to your right, discover the first of three large double bedrooms, carpeted underfoot, with garden views reflected in the soft green and cream tones of the room.

Next door, refresh in the bountiful bathroom. Soothe your senses with a soak in the roll top bath with handheld attachment. A heated rail is on hand for the towels before getting ready for the day ahead at the dressing table tucked around the corner. A wash basin, bidet and WC complete this room's fittings.

Returning to the landing illuminated by borrowed light from the glass wall of the bathroom’s vanity dressing area, pass bedroom three, carpeted and dressed in white walls with views out over the garden.

Next, the spacious master bedroom lies directly ahead brimming with built-in storage. Clean contemporary lines create a fresh relaxing ambiance with ample space for a super-king bed for rest and recuperation.

Returning downstairs, step outside and explore the gardens and grounds surrounding the cottage. Enjoy your morning coffee watching the wildlife wing its way from tree to tree. Owls, bats, and birds all consider the trees and woodland beyond to be their home. Stepping onto the terrace, children can don their wellington boots, grab their nets and dip in the river running along the rear of the garden.

The addition of a garden room provides a versatile and practical space next to the annex. The perfect addition in the modern climate, used currently as a yoga studio and art room, could also double as a home office.

Next door a double story garage/workshop is for the time being, used as a self-contained annex, perfectly private for older, dependent relatives or visiting guests. At present friends and family can enjoy a game of pool or an arcade game while sipping a gin and tonic at the bar on the upper level. This building has been granted planning permission for conversion of the existing workshop to a family annex to allow this to be a habitable property. Ref TP/ED21/0938
