• Detached home of eight principal apartments
• Situated in midst of prestigious Killearn address
• Set upon large, beautifully arranged garden plot
• Dramatic views towards Dumgoyne/Campsie Fells
• Modernisation required
• Large drive/detached garage
Individually commissioned & constructed c.1968, Shernold is an unassumingly spacious detached home with a notably versatile eight apartment layout and a generous floor space (including basement areas) of over 2,500 ft². This is only the second occasion where the property has been available to market, with our current clients having assumed ownership in 1996 - an all too rare opportunity for the successful bidding party to acquire an entirely unique home located in one of Killearn’s most sought-after addresses.
Internally, the property features good room sizes throughout and with a distinct adaptability as to how the subjects could be utilised – in current form, our client has employed an arrangement of four bedrooms and four public rooms but a five bedroom/three public format would also work seamlessly. Whilst the successful bidding party would have to factor in aesthetic updating/renovations, our client has taken a fastidious approach towards maintaining key aspects of the property when required – roofs replaced in 2010 and all double glazed window units upgraded at various stages over the last 10/12 years.

Situation
Killearn is a beautiful and very picturesque village in south Stirlingshire, set in the lea of The Fintry Hills and The Campsies. It is surrounded by wonderful countryside and is just beyond the southeast boundary of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Given its rural idyll it is, remarkably, only some 18 miles from the centre of Glasgow City.
An active community, Killearn has an excellent Village Primary School and has a few Nurseries, including a Montessori. Secondary provision is at Balfron High in the neighbouring village. The village has a Health Centre, a very well stocked Co-op, Delicatessen, and a Pharmacy. The Parish Church has a vibrant Village Community Hall and beside this, the excellent Kitchen Window Café/Restaurant. Across the road from this is a charming Coffee House, with Interior Designers, and the Village Pub, The Old Mill Inn, with restaurant. There is a Tennis Club with artificial Courts.
Killearn has much to offer and Shernold similarly.
