The Auchineden Estate lies on the westerly rural outskirts of Blanefield, just northwest of Carbeth, yet only some 6 miles from both Milngavie and Bearsden.
Dairy Cottage was formerly the dairy building for its neighbour, Auchineden Farmhouse (an early 19th Century Georgian building), and dates we believe more to the early 20th Century. It was subsequently converted into a cottage and continued as part of the Farmhouse. In 2015 the cottage was extensively modernised and extended (the flat roof section) to create the layout one sees here. It is a charming three-bedroom cottage, its slated roof with sharp piend hips and deep overhanging eaves projections, over the white painted render walls, making for a most engaging external façade.
Auchineden is home to a number of properties, most including Dairy Cottage, in a cluster. Nearby is a Landscaping Business and the successful Edenmill Farm Shop and Café, all adjacent to a section of The John Muir Way that provides some wonderful walks along forestry tracks up to, and beyond, the Burncrooks and Kilmannan Reservoirs. Very fortunate to have this on your doorstep.
The cottage, as one can see from our imagery, is in superb order and extremely well appointed. The spacious lounge has the cosy luxury of a wood burning stove, the attractively fitted modern kitchen has space for a table and chairs and the three double bedrooms are supported by both a shower room and an ensuite bathroom. All windows, and the front door, are double glazed and in white framed UPVC with heating via an oil-fired system with a quality Worcester combination boiler (part of the 2015 refurbishment). Decoratively, the mood is calm and fresh with flush ceilings featuring low voltage/LED ceiling downlighters.
Clients can refer to our floor plan but in summary the accommodation comprises:
• Entrance Porch – With an attractively designed boot/coats bench.
• Dining Kitchen – Shaker units in an oak style with grey marble style worktops into which is set a modern version of a Belfast sink. Appliances include a halogen hob, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine. Double doors lead to the lounge, which is a nice arrangement. As well as having a window to the front (east) there are three ceiling cupola rooflights.
• Lounge – Three windows on two sides (east and north) and the wood burning stove.
• Inner Hall – To access the bedrooms and shower room. Double width hall cupboard.
• Bedroom 1 – A spacious main bedroom with window to the north side of the property. Walk-in wardrobe closet.
• Ensuite Bathroom – Window to the west. Three-piece white suite with an electric Mira Sport shower set over the bath.
• Bedroom 2 – Another double room with fitted wardrobe.
• Bedroom 3 – Again, a double, used as a twin bedroom. Fitted wardrobe.
• Shower Room – With white suite and an oversized shower enclosure featuring a thermostatic shower. Window to the side (south). Chrome towel radiator.
EXTERIOR
The garden grounds are compact, perfect for those seeking easy living. Timber driveway gates open to a gravel drive for two cars (three small cars perhaps). In front of this is a gravel bed with shaped trees and bushes. To the north side of the house is a small section of grass, bordering the front garden of the Farmhouse. This tapers to the back of the cottage where there is a well-stocked shrubbery bed, on a slope. Pathways are around both side of the cottage and to the rear.
NOTE:
Dairy Cottage is owned by the owners of Auchineden Farmhouse who also own the paddock ground field in front of the cottage, to the east, of some 1.3 acres. The septic tank for Dairy Cottage can be found in the paddock. It is our client’s intention to explore the possibility of obtaining planning permission to build some properties on this paddock (perhaps four homes) in due course. If this was to come to fruition it would require the installation of a new, more modern, private drainage system (probably a Bio-Disc system). If this was the case, the purchasers of Dairy Cottage should be reassured, we are informed by our clients and the owners of Auchineden Farmhouse, that the buyer of Dairy Cottage would not be liable for any contribution to said new system. It would be met by them. Currently on the Title for Auchineden Farmhouse, a new Title for Dairy Cottage would be created upon the purchase of the cottage.
SITUATION
Auchineden is a lovely rural setting in what was formerly the 2000-acre Auchineden Estate. As mentioned previously, it is approximately 6 miles north of the suburbs of Milngavie and Bearsden and is a small collection of homes creating a lovely little community. Situated just to the north of the Hamlet of Carbeth, Auchineden is also some 4 miles to the Villages of Blanefield and Strathblane where you will find a local General Store and a well-stocked Co-op along with some other shops and services. Commuting to Glasgow should be within the hour and to The West End in approximately half an hour. Surrounding it is some fantastic countryside and not far away is the dramatic backdrop of The Campsie Fells and the summit of Dumgoyne. It truly is a beautiful spot.

SAT NAV REF: G63 9AX – Important – The sat nav ref will take you to Auchineden House. So, when passing through Carbeth, on the A809, the road will climb up a hill. You will pass two small semi-detached cottages on the left-hand side. Take first left after this (approx. 400m) and follow the single-track road towards the Edenmill Farm Shop. Prior to this you will come to Auchineden Farmhouse (on the corner at the split road junction). Turn left here and then Dairy Cottage is the first property on the right.
