Lochside is an attractive detached family home that was constructed in 1992 as part of an exclusive courtyard development totalling three properties by Bardowie Castle. The property was finished to a very high standard throughout, with almost 4,110 sq ft of living space, ideal for entertaining and everyday family living. Lochside has a design reminiscent of the Georgian period, finished in stone beneath a pitched slate roof. In 2021, whilst vacant, the property experienced a burst water pipe, causing damage to both parts of the ground and first floors of the property.
A specialist firm was employed to remove the affected areas, including removal of some floor areas as well as the units in the kitchen and utility room. The property does require investment including internal redecoration, some new flooring and installation of a new kitchen and utility room.
The property is accessed off an attractive shared tree-lined driveway.

Planning consent has been granted to convert the existing garage to create a larger drawing room with gym and study. The consent also includes to extend out from the eastern gable to replace the existing conservatory to create a garden room with roof terrace above. In addition the consent would include increasing the ceiling height in two of the upstairs bedrooms, together with replacement of all windows. (See Planning).

Gardens & outbuildings
There is an integral double garage with electric door accessed via a shared courtyard to the rear. Electric gates open into a private front driveway with ample parking area to the side. The property enjoys wonderful grounds which extend to about half an acre. The immaculately kept south facing gardens are to the front and side and are mainly laid to lawn, with planted borders.

Communal grounds
Lochside benefits from about 0.56 acres of communal grounds of frontage to Bardowie Loch (next to the driveway) shared between the three properties in the courtyard. This includes a slipway from which you can launch a boat.

Lochside is situated close to the shores of Bardowie Loch in a delightful rural setting, yet very close to both Milngavie (3 miles), Bearsden (3.5 miles) and only 6 miles from Glagsow city centre. The property forms part of an exclusive development built when the adjacent Bardowie Castle
was restored in 1992.

The small hamlet of Bardowie is a conservation village with the castle, which dates from 1566 and the loch being the main attractions. The loch is a wonderful facility to have on the doorstep and includes a dinghy sailing club which forms part of the excellent Clyde Cruising Club.

The thriving town of Milnagavie has an excellent range of services with several shops including Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, Boots, and a sizeable Tesco, along with an array of quality independent retailers, a health centre, coffee shops and restaurants. It also has a renowned secondary school,
Douglas Academy as well as the preparatory school for Glasgow Academy.

Milnagavie has a commuter train station, with services running every 15 minutes to Glasgow Queen Street and taking just 23 minutes. Ser
