CraiglamontTHE OLD SCHOOLHOUSE 21 Cadder Road, Bishopbriggs the old schoolhouse www.rettie.co.uk 21 Cadder Road, Bishopbriggs G64 3JJ

Situated within the absolutely stunning Conservation Area of Cadder, just minutes’ walk from the nature trails and cycle paths that follow the Forth & Clyde Canal. This is a truly rare and very special opportunity to acquire a fully renovated B Listed former Georgian schoolhouse. The property was stripped back to its four stone walls and has been rebuilt from the inside to provide a quite exquisite family home within a beautiful traditional building but has the added benefit of a modern, contemporary interior, perfectly blending old with new. Original features have been reinstated by the current owners to include wonderful sash and casement windows, traditional shutters, cornicing and original fireplaces and range stove in the sitting room. There has been very clever use of the very latest heating systems, with the entire ground floor having underfloor heating separated into individual zones to activate total control and a wood burning stove situated in the family room. Throughout the property there is beautiful solid oak flooring which has been treated with lye and soap giving the property a natural Scandinavian feel making this a very special country home, yet located only minutes from all the amenities Bishopbriggs has to offer.

In terms of accommodation, the property is entered through a front porch (a wonderful and sympathetic addition by the current owners) and from there into an absolutely beautiful and welcoming reception hall with original staircase and under stairs storage. From there, the period stripped panelled doors lead into an excellent family room with wood burning stove and a lovely view out onto the rear garden. The kitchen/family/dining room has a truly magnificent vaulted ceiling with very clever use of oak beams and hand-crafted kitchen, incorporating integrated appliances, granite and wooden work surfaces and an absolutely, top of the range, stove. There are bi-fold doors opening out onto the sun patio which enjoys a south-facing position. From the kitchen a door leads to a utility room, which also has a shower room located off. From the utility room a further cottage style door gives access onto a side garden. The accommodation downstairs is completed by a formal sitting room with original range stove at its focal point and, finally, a study or home office. A fine period staircase leads to a fantastic galleried landing where you will find three excellent double bedrooms, with the master having a walk-in dressing room, as well as a fantastic en-suite shower room with two piece white contemporary suite including a double shower stall with a “raindance air” shower head. The accommodation is completed by a family sized bathroom with a three-piece white contemporary suite. The property has gas central heating and has been finished to a very high standard.

Not only has the property been beautifully presented and rebuilt, much care, attention and time has been spent in what could only be described as an absolutely magnificent garden. Designed by an award winning Chelsea garden designer, the garden comprises of a formal front garden with quietly structured cottage style planting and a cobbled driveway, providing off street parking. The front path leads through a side gate into a woodland garden with a gravel path edged with bricks from the old schoolhouse, and a pergola covered in climbing roses and clematis. To the side of the property is a well-placed lawn and a wooden climbing frame as well as a wildlife pond and borders of herbaceous perennials. The stunning garden extends to the large south-facing sun patio area directly outside the bi-fold doors. A small vegetable garden 3 and utility area is tucked away in the back corner of the garden.
