Townhead of Auchengillan is a delightful “B” Listed period home, dating from 1799 that forms a charming “clachan” of three homes, sharing a courtyard, at Auchengillan Townhead – the neighbouring homes being The Coachhouse and The Shieling.
Townhead of Auchengillan is a handsome symmetrically designed detached house with six main apartments, including two fine public rooms, that can be used as three or four bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, shower room, toilet and a fantastically useable full-size basement (only slightly restricted headroom), of various rooms, that our clients use as laundry, workshop, storage. To the north-east side is a good sized modern garage, with storage space and electric garage door, outside of which is a Verandah terrace for seating that takes in a wonderful view southwards over the properties own formal and paddock grounds beyond Carbeth, Hilton Park Golf Club (Allander Course) to Glasgow City in the distance.
The paddock grounds are clearly defined by fence and walls and are fringed, in parts, by native trees. It is a lovely space, directly in front of the property and its formal garden. They lie to grass and are perfect for a couple of ponies, equipped with a timber stable block with three boxes, tack room and with power, light and water. Equally for those gardeners out there, this would be is an amazing canvas upon which to plant and create something special.
Townhead of Auhengillan has been a much-loved family home and has been in the care of our clients for some twenty-five years. It is well presented and features working shutters, two working fires, a quality kitchen (shaker style) in wood, bathroom, en suite toilet and a contemporary designed, recently fitted, shower room with an oversized “wet zone” shower enclosure. Flooring is good quality with some areas in maple and oak. The basement level accessed from a staircase off the courtyard entrance vestibule is a great facility and incorporates three main rooms/areas (see floor plan). There is super-fast Fibre Broadband To The Premises (FTTP).
GROUND FLOOR
Front and rear entrance vestibule; reception hall; formal sitting room; living room; kitchen with quality wooden units and tops, Belfast sink, range cooker; bedroom 4 or public room; shower room.
FIRST FLOOR
A fine, and broad, curving stone staircase ascends to the upper hall; bedrooms 1 and 2 (both doubles with double aspects including a wonderful view down the valley); bedroom 3, a single, again with great view; en suite toilet.
BASEMENT LEVEL
Three rooms the main one of which, with light well, is used as a laundry. Really good space down here with slightly restricted head height.
SITUATION
Townhead of Auchengillan is one of the three properties in a courtyard at Auchengillan Townhead, beyond Carbeth and before The Queens View, and neighbours a few hundred meters away the Auchengillan Outdoor Scouts Centre. It affords all the peace and tranquillity of its setting yet is but a ten-minute drive, or so, from the suburbs of Milngavie (approx. six miles) and Bearsden.
The village of Blanefield, and immediate neighbour of Strathblane, with their shops (including and excellent Co-op with Post office), is three miles away via the nearby Cuilt Road, across which the line of the West Highland way passes – great walks on your doorstep including, across the Stockiemuir Road, at Edenmill and around the Burncrooks Reservoir, part of The John Muir Way. Primary schooling is at Strathblane, with secondary at Balfron High. Glasgow has highly regarded private schools, with The Glasgow Academy and The High School of Glasgow having their preparatory schools in Milngavie and Bearsden, respectively.

A fine traditional home in a delightful rural location yet within easy reach of Glasgow, its northern suburbs and the West End.
After passing what was the Carbeth Inn on your right, continue on the A809 beyond the junction for the B821 (Cuilt Road), drive up the hill passing the white cottage on right (Craigmore Farm) on the roadside and about 500 yards thereafter, opposite the entrance to Edenmill, turn right up the drive/lane (see sign for Scout Centre). Townhead of Auchengillan is first on the right. Take the drive to front of the house for the front door. The courtyard accesses the rear of the house.
