Little Moss is a sizeable all-on-the-level Detached Country Home in a delightful rural setting within the Blane Valley on the southern outskirts of Killearn. It has one immediate neighbour, with which Little Moss shares the access driveway. It has grounds of approx. 6.5 acres including a large formal garden, with a glorious view southward down the valley, a near 2 acre paddock field and a small woodland, all following The Blane Water which forms its northern and eastern boundaries. The paddock, and the scope for stabling, provides a clear facility for those buyers who have an interest in horses.

Little Moss was originally a late Victorian cottage that was significantly extended post-war to make the sizeable home seen here. The layout, which has been reconfigured over the years, can be seen from our floorplan, the floor area for which illustrates the generous scale of the subjects. Clients will also note that in addition to the main accommodation there is an ancillary/utility area off the kitchen that includes a laundry area, stores, kennel, tool shed and access to one of the properties three garages.

The grounds include the near 2-acre paddock field and this, as stated, clearly affords the necessary facility for those with equestrian interests. There is plenty of scope to install stabling/pony shelter in addition to which is a very adaptable outbuilding constructed of brick and block, under a metal clad roof. This has a central barn area (used as a tractor shed/garage/workshop) to which there are two lean-to single garages and a woodstore.

SAT NAV Ref: G63 9LT.

It is important to note that the sat nav will take you beyond the location of Little Moss. Specifically, its location, travelling north-westwards on the A81, is by turning left off the A81, approximately one mile after the Glengoyne Distillery, opposite the small commercial estate (includes “Turnip the Beat”, a small café) and take the single-track road. Crossing over the metal bridge take, thereafter, the first drive on the left – the shared drive with The Moss. Take the driveway to the left of The Moss past the garage/outbuilding and you will reach Little Moss.
