Property Description

Approached by a sweeping three-quarter mile private driveway through mature woodland from Stockiemuir Road, No. 3 Auchineden House lies within an exquisite setting of over two acres of communal gardens, where rolling lawns, mature trees and a chorus of birdsong create a remarkably peaceful atmosphere. The apartment forms part of a grand and historic house, and enjoys its own expansive areas of private garden—some quarter acre of landscaped grounds with a winding burn, and a further wildflower meadow of around 0.9 acres where daffodils bloom each spring in glorious display.

Stepping from the ample parking at the front of the house, a private entrance on the north side opens into a useful vestibule—ideal for shedding coats and boots after countryside walks—leading in turn to a most impressive reception hall. A decorative cast iron fireplace adds character here, and the sense of space is immediate, complemented by a wonderful set of original double doors that open through to the principal reception room.

The lounge is a truly magnificent space, flooded with light from a tall floor-to-ceiling window and a broad north-facing bay, framing views across the private daffodil meadow and onwards to the Blane Valley and the Campsie Fells. Elegant proportions, intricate plaster mouldings and cornicing, and a grand marble fireplace with an open fire combine to create a room of striking presence and comfort.

Further along the wide hallway, twin doors open into the apartment’s showpiece—the vast dining room. Here, two curved walls add architectural interest, one set with a beautiful bow window. The entire room is decorated in traditional period colours in keeping with the age of the house. Another marble fireplace and exquisite ceiling cornicing retain the grandeur of the house’s original design. So generous is the scale that the current owners have combined dining and lounge areas, a layout perfectly suited for entertaining.

To the opposite side of the hall, the kitchen enjoys natural light from two windows overlooking the central lightwell courtyard. Thoughtfully designed with Shaker-style units in a warm maple finish and dark green marble-effect worktops, the kitchen is both practical and charming. A full suite of integrated appliances is included—induction hob, double oven/grill, cooker hood, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine—and there is space for a table for casual meals.

The hallway continues past three substantial storage cupboards, including a walk-in pantry, and leads on to the bedroom wing. The main bedroom offers generous proportions with ample space for freestanding furniture and features beautiful original wood panelling framing its twin north-facing windows. The second bedroom mirrors this detail and enjoys tranquil views over the garden and the private burn beyond—a gentle, soothing sound can be heard with the windows open on quiet days.

Centrally located, the bathroom is traditionally styled with white suite, thermostatic shower over the bath, tiled floor and walls to three-quarter height.

A particularly charming feature of this home is its exclusive access to a private courtyard. Set between apartments 3 and 1 but reserved solely for the use of No. 3, it is accessed through a stained-glass door off the entrance hall and offers a secluded spot with tiled base, ideal for morning coffee or quiet reflection.

The shared gardens of Auchineden House are a joy in every season, with specimen trees, shrubs and a stunning display of rhododendrons. A communal drying green is tucked to the rear of the house, and No. 3 further benefits from its own double garage, complete with power and lighting, set alongside others to the rear.

LOCATION

Set within the former 2,000-acre Auchineden Estate, Auchineden is a charming rural enclave just six miles north of the suburbs of Milngavie and Bearsden. Nestled near the hamlet of Carbeth and only four miles from the villages of Strathblane and Blanefield, this small collection of homes enjoys a peaceful countryside setting with a friendly community feel.

The area is surrounded by beautiful scenery, with the dramatic Campsie Fells and Dumgoyne summit providing a stunning backdrop. For nature lovers and walkers, the nearby Whangie and Queen’s View are easily accessible by foot, offering some of the region’s best panoramic views. Just minutes away, Eden Mill Farm offers a welcoming café, soft play for children, alpaca walks, and direct access to local trails like the John Muir Way and routes to Burncrooks Reservoir.

Nearby Strathblane has a lively community and useful amenities including food shops, a post office, a well-regarded primary school, library, and local health services. A short drive further brings you to Croftamie and Drymen, both offering more walking opportunities and a selection of cafés, pubs, and restaurants, including the popular But and Ben and The Winnock Hotel.

Despite its rural charm, Auchineden enjoys excellent connectivity. Commuting to Glasgow city centre typically takes less than an hour, while the West End is reachable in around 30 minutes. The nearby towns of Milngavie and Bearsden provide a wide array of shopping, dining, and leisure amenities. From Milngavie, trains run every half hour, stopping at the West End before reaching Glasgow city centre in just 24 minutes—making for a convenient and stress-free commute.

Auchineden offers the best of both worlds: countryside charm with easy access to city culture. A truly idyllic place to call home.
