Thorntonhall Ashgrove, Waterfoot Road www.corumproperty.co.uk Situation Ashgrove is a charming detached country cottage set within approximately two acres of beautiful garden grounds. It enjoys a high degree of privacy and a lovely semi-rural setting between the villages of Thorntonhall and Waterfoot, close to the border with East Renfrewshire. Thorntonhall itself has gained a reputation as one of the district’s most affluent commuting centres. Thorntonhall railway station gives hourly direct access to Glasgow city centre and there is also a local village tennis club. The property is a short distance from conservation village of Eaglesham, and from the neighbouring suburbs of Clarkston and Newton Mearns, all of which offer many amenities, including excellent retail outlets, outstanding sports and recreational facilities, and good transport links to the city. Accommodation Ashgrove is distinguished by its white harled exterior set under a traditional slate roof. The core of the house is a pair of C18th cottages, sympathetically converted and extended into a single dwelling house which provides flexible and comfortable accommodation with the traditional elements of a country cottage. The specification of the property includes an oil-fired central heating system, double glazed windows and two wood burning stoves. The exterior frontage of the property has just been fully re-painted. The house faces south and is wonderfully light and sunny. From the front door an entrance hallway leads into a beautiful 24’ formal lounge, with a wood burning stove set within an ornate oak period fireplace. Patio doors lead into a lean-to glasshouse which gives access to the garden. Above the lounge is a large fully floored and lined attic, at present used as an office. A long hallway is floored with antique maple, which continues into two double-sized bedrooms and a family bathroom. A short flight of stairs leads to a third double bedroom with an adjacent shower/WC. Back on the ground floor there is a large living kitchen, with maple flooring and a wood burning stove. This leads to a utility room/entrance hall which, through the back door, gives direct access to the drive. A double garage adjoining the house has twin hinged doors and is fitted with power and light. A traditional brick-built potting shed runs along the back wall of the house under the slate roof. In addition there is a large separate timber-clad shed, measuring 34’2” x 20’11”, with concrete flooring and a corrugated roof. A gated driveway to the side of the house offers parking for multiple vehicles. Undoubtedly one of the main attractions of Ashgrove is its beautiful garden, designed to harmonise with its rural surroundings, and to provide a long season of colour and interest. Round the house are extensive lawns, trees and shrubs, and mixed borders. Beyond these a field contains an apple orchard, a soft fruit area and a large vegetable garden, all surrounded by a woodland walk through a collection of unusual Ash trees. Despite its size, the informal style of the garden makes it relatively easily maintained. A rural idyll within easy reach of the city.
