Property Description

Imagine waking up to the sight of your horses grazing just beyond the windows, the soft morning light stretching over the fields. At 2 Alton Holdings, that quiet, everyday magic is part of the view. With approximately 5.41 acres of good grazing land, this four-bedroom home offers a rare balance of rural calm and easy connection to the outside world, just on the edge of the village of Milton of Campsie, set on approximately 1 acre of garden grounds.

Whether you're caring for horses, raising a family, or simply looking for more space to breathe, this property opens the door to a more connected, outdoor way of living. And you won't need to give up the convenience of good transport links when needed.

From the moment you pass through the private electric gates, there’s a sense of space and possibility. The driveway opens into a wide courtyard, with the home on one side, the stables just behind, and a barn and greenhouse on the other. Multiple entrances to the home make everyday life effortless. There’s one for coming in from the fields with your boots still muddy, another for heading out to the horses, and a more formal front door for when friends and family come to visit. Everything flows naturally and is designed for how people actually live.

Step inside and you’re welcomed into a light-filled hallway, with a skylight above that brightens even the greyest Scottish morning. To one side, three generously sized bedrooms and a large family bathroom create a peaceful wing of their own. On the other, a warm, open-plan dining hall invites gathering. Whether it's a long Sunday lunch, a quick cuppa after school, or a rainy afternoon filled with board games and laughter, the space is perfect for bringing people together.

Just off this space is a sun room wrapped in windows, looking directly onto the stables. It's the perfect spot to watch over the animals or soak in the last light of the day. The farmhouse kitchen has a sense of timelessness, with its red Aga, double Belfast sink, and views from both sides. A stable door leads into a utility room and boot room beyond, complete with its own outside access and WC. It's built for country living with no compromise on ease.

For those who value sustainable living and enjoy growing their own produce, there are three soil beds at the front of the house, currently used as a vegetable patch, ideal for popping out to pick fresh carrots and potatoes for your Sunday roast.

Further into the home, a study or creative space leads to the lounge with a feature mahogany ceiling. Here, two large windows frame the greenery outside, and a wood-burning stove brings the room together with warmth and heart. Glass doors open out to a decked area that wraps around the house, where you can sit with a coffee and take in the open fields and ever-changing hills.

The principal bedroom is tucked to the front of the home. It is calm and spacious, with dual-aspect windows, a walk-in dressing room, and a private wet room. This is a quiet retreat when the day winds down.

Beyond the house, the land opens up. The stables are arranged in an L-shape with three loose boxes and a tack room, and the paddock sits within a wide grazing field. The barn offers even more potential. It's currently used for storage but could be easily adapted to suit your requirements.

There is also approved planning permission for a new architect-designed villa on the site, should you wish to reimagine the space. In addition, there is consent to convert the outbuildings into additional accommodation, and planning has also been approved for a new private access road to be constructed to the left of the home.

What’s here is more than just a home, it’s a way of life. While the house itself would benefit from some renovation and modernisation, it offers the perfect canvas to create a space that truly reflects your vision and lifestyle.

An adjoining parcel of approximately 12.82 acres, located to the east, is available by separate negotiation.
