About this property
Commanding a large elevated mature site backing onto open countryside, this detached traditional villa enjoys a central position within the popular Stirlingshire village of Drymen.
Built in the 1920s by Kelpie, the company who employed Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Southernwood still features the original doors and timber-work, with Crittall double glazed windows throughout. To the east it has beautiful views over to the Campsie Hills.
Southernwood is a spacious and elegant family home. The front door opens onto a substantial hall, with its original oak flooring, that leads into a beautifully proportioned large kitchen/living area, with a double Aga, that extends for the width of the house, and benefits from east and west facing windows. This is the heart of the house and a gorgeous space for family life. Off the kitchen there is a pantry and utility room, and an airy double bedroom, with three windows. A useful back porch for boots and coats gives access to the garden.
To the left of the entrance hall a substantial well-proportioned sitting room benefits from windows to the south, east and west. Off that, a room that was a 1960s extension to the house, with a double height wooden slatted ceiling and a floor to ceiling picture window, is currently used as a stunning home office. There is also a shower room and under-stair storage off the entrance hall.
On the first floor, there are two large double bedrooms, one of them ensuite. Plus a family bathroom, two further bedrooms and a playroom.
This handsome house affords maximum privacy set in half an acre of mature gardens. The garden includes a patio area that catches the sun, a chicken coup, greenhouse, as well as two lawns, apple, oak and silver birch trees, a much loved treehouse and a zipwire. There are a range of useful outbuildings and sheds in the garden including a workshop, logstore and a bike shed.
Southernwood really is an exceptional family home. Drymen is one of the most popular of the Stirlingshire villages, an easy commute from Glasgow, with excellent local amenities, including two golf courses, the Buchanan Arms swimming pool and gym just across the road, beautiful local walks and Loch Lomond ten minutes away. Southernwood is in the catchment area for the highly rated Balfron High School and within walking distance to the well regarded Drymen Primary and pre-school.
