A magnificent, five bedroom, detached bungalow which has been re-modelled and significantly extended, set amidst an expansive, double feu. This deceptively spacious home exudes charm and character and offers nine principal apartments over two levels of around 3000 sq ft of accommodation. “Greenways” is one of the most admired properties to grace this exclusive, enclave of Bardowie and occupies a particularly enviable position on the corner of a private access road, shared with only one other neighbouring property and which leads to the driveway, double garage and rear entrance. The position also affords uninterrupted views to the front across the adjacent field and the waters of Bardowie Loch and Bardowie Castle itself, taking in the Campsie Fells in the distance. The hamlet of Bardowie is surrounded by picturesque scenery including the local beauty spot of Bardowie Loch which is home to Clyde Crusing Club Dinghy Section and a number of beautiful walks and the nearby suburbs of Milngavie and Bearsden lie 2.5 miles and 3 miles respectively and offer a wide selection of amenities to suit all your daily requirements. Both offer train stations with frequent rail services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and further afield and the area is home to excellent local and private schooling options.

Outside, the front garden is accessed by wrought iron gates and the symmetrical garden is laid to lawn dissected by a gravelled path to the front entrance which is complimented by a periphery of low shrubs and beautiful arched stonework. A side gate and electrical vehicle gate accesses the driveway and double detached garage with power, lighting and remote door. Particular attention should be paid to the rear garden which is essentially a double plot and could perhaps, be split to offer development potential to the rear section, subject to the necessary planning consents. As it stands, it beautifully supports the size and scale of “Greenways” and is thoughtfully landscaped with a sizeable, timber deck along the rear of the property, next to an ornamental pond with waterfall, home to some impressive coy carp (which may be included in the sale.) The garden is laid to lawn and a trellised entrance leads to a further, level, lawned section which is home to a garden shed, greenhouse and the gardens are well-screened by bordering trees and hedgerows and face south enjoying the best of the day’s sunlight. Inside, the proportions and specification are immediately evident on entering the entrance hall which is complimented by a truly stunning, herringbone, solid wooden floor, leaded glass entrance, decorative stone fireplace and solid oak staircase. The entrance is wood panelled to dado height and the accommodation continues to the two versatile public rooms at the front, both with ornamental fireplaces with wood burning stoves and enjoy dual aspects including stained glass windows along with three pane window arrangements to the front, affording the impressive views. Further features include the original bell pushes and the servants bell system can be found in the kitchen which until recently was operational. The heart of the home is unquestionably the expansive kitchen/dining room which measures 27’9” x 25’0” at widest points. The kitchen includes white, Shaker style units, a range of integrated appliances and beyond the breakfast bar area, opens to a dining room with several windows and French doors to the rear garden and decking. There is an adjoining utility room, downstairs WC and a side entrance to the driveway and garage. Two bedrooms are formed on the ground floor and are served by a refitted, four piece shower room with further impressive, stained glass window above a substantial, traditional style heated towel radiator. Stairs lead to a galleried landing off which, are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The large, master bedroom suite also includes an adjoining en-suite bathroom with large, walk-in shower enclosure at the end of which, a door leads to a sauna with electric, Vito Elektro sauna from Finland.
