You would not be out of sorts in your tennis whites here, the property has an air of a 1930's garden party set in expansive gardens, where you can almost hear the chink of Pimm's in crystal glasses. Turning off the main road, into the driveway and leading uphill through the verdant corridor of mature trees, you will be delighted at the Arts & Crafts villa before you. The property commands a prime position on the edge of Killearn with all it's amenities and yet benefits from a high degree of privacy.
Killearn and the surrounding villages offer some of Glasgow's most prestigious and sought after rural properties and this striking and aesthetically pleasing Arts and Crafts villa has been meticulously maintained and re-styled over recent years by the current owners. Dumgoyne House now offers a natural balance between characterful traditional features not forgetting modern family living with a beautiful level of specification and finish throughout. The property is set in beautifully stocked, well tended gardens which feature an abundance of mature trees and shrubs providing a good degree of privacy and a tennis court. Also within the grounds, which extend to around an acre, there is an enclosed vegetable/fruit garden. The property also benefits from some specimen rhododendrons and azaleas which offer stunning seasonal colour.
There is a driveway which sweeps up towards the house from the road leading to a good sized chipped hard standing with space for a number of cars which in turn leads to a good sized double garage.
Internally the property has been designed with family living in mind with a flexible combination of five bedrooms and four main public rooms. On the ground floor of the property is an entrance portico leading to the reception hallway. The formal drawing room has a windowed recess area which overlooks the gardens and an attractive period style fireplace. The formal dining room has some beautiful ornate panelling and an attractive period style fireplace. The kitchen is of a generous size and has a separate dining area and access to a separate utility/boot room. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a sitting room with beautiful wooden panelling over an attractive period style fireplace, a study/home office and a downstairs wc.
On the upper floor, the property benefits from five good sized bedrooms with the bedrooms to the front and rear offering fabulous views over the gardens and beyond and a good sized period style bathroom with separate shower. Of particular note, on the upper floor are hand built storage units all original to the property and presumably dating from 1915.
Dumgoyne House is well place for local village amenities including a bank, butcher, chemist, Co-op, Spar and post office. There is also an excellent health centre, tennis club, hotel and bar restaurant with a good reputation for food. Killearn has an excellent primary school with secondary schooling to be found at Balfron High. A bus service is available to Balfron High and indeed to Milngavie where commuters can pick up a rail link to the West End, Glasgow City Centre and beyond. A bus service also operate from the end of the driveway to Glasgow or Stirling. There are excellent road links to the surrounding villages and in turn to the M8 and M90 motorways. The M8 provides a link to Glasgow International Airport. Killearn offers a fine selection of country walks with the neighbouring village of Drymen providing further shops and amenities with nearby Loch Lomond providing varied recreational pursuits on the water and surrounding countryside.
