This is a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire both Millhouse and Upper Millhouse in their entirety offering exceptional scope to create one truly remarkable residence, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Occupying a dramatic former mill site in Torrance, the properties together form one of the most architecturally distinctive compositions in East Dunbartonshire. Originally constructed in the early 1970s during a period of bold residential experimentation, the buildings combine reclaimed stone, strong structural forms and expansive glazing to create a striking and unconventional silhouette.

While each property offers substantial accommodation in its own right, the combined footprint presents an extraordinary redevelopment opportunity. A purchaser with vision could sensitively reconfigure and unify the structures to form one incredible contemporary home, blending modern design with the site’s industrial heritage and dramatic structural framework. The advertised drawings are provided for illustrative purposes and offer a flavour of how the development could be reimagined.

The scale, layout and positioning of the buildings lend themselves to significant reimagining, with generous internal proportions, multiple reception spaces, extensive bedroom accommodation and substantial garden grounds. Extending in total to approximately 2,226 square yards (0.45 acres), the grounds provide the foundations for a landmark private residence unlike anything in the area.

Externally, the surrounding gardens and open outlooks across adjacent fields further enhance the setting, offering privacy, space and a semi rural feel while remaining within easy reach of local amenities and transport links.

Opportunities of this nature are exceptionally rare. Whether retained as two architecturally significant dwellings or transformed into one outstanding home, the acquisition of both Millhouse and Upper Millhouse represents a unique chance to secure and reshape one of the area’s most intriguing residential sites, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning consents.

A truly exceptional and architecturally significant home, Upper Millhouse occupies a dramatic elevated position above the former mill site, appearing to float between substantial stone supports and creating one of the most striking residential forms in East Dunbartonshire.

Constructed over five decades ago, the design was revolutionary for its time, embracing bold horizontal lines, industrial-inspired materials and extensive glazing that remains visually powerful today. The elevated structure not only creates a commanding presence but also allows light to flood the interior while framing open outlooks across the surrounding landscape.

The property is approached via a large sweeping driveway shared with the adjoining property, Millhouse, creating an impressive sense of arrival. Ample parking is provided to the front, in addition to a private garage which is attached to the lower property.

Upper Millhouse presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to undertake a programme of modernisation and enhance a truly distinctive home of architectural interest.

The accommodation is arranged along an impressive central hallway which runs the length of the property, leading through to a striking and exceptionally spacious living room at one end, an outstanding space for entertaining and everyday living. Adjoining this is a kitchen dining room, offering excellent potential for reconfiguration to suit modern requirements.

Four bedrooms are positioned throughout the home, including a principal bedroom, providing flexible accommodation for family life, guests or home working. A family bathroom and additional storage areas complete the layout.

To the rear, an elevated garden space is laid mainly to lawn and complemented by mature planting, offering privacy and an attractive outdoor setting that mirrors the home’s unique architectural positioning.

Externally, the contrast between natural stone piers and dark vertical cladding delivers a purposeful, modernist aesthetic, while large window formations reinforce the home’s strong architectural rhythm and connection to its setting.

Upper Millhouse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke, architect-designed residence of genuine pedigree, ideal for purchasers seeking something far removed from the ordinary.

The property is offered individually, although consideration could also be given to acquiring both Upper Millhouse and the adjoining Millhouse to form one remarkable single residence or landmark redevelopment project, subject to consents.
