Glasgow Road, Kirkintilloch, G66

Behind a curtain of mature trees and well away from the passing road, in the heart of Kirkintilloch, sits a four-bedroom chalet-style bungalow you could pass for years without ever knowing it was there. A gated entrance opens onto a long, sweeping driveway between lawns, with tall evergreens standing guard on either side. The detached garage waits at the far end, and only then does the house reveal itself, elevated above its grounds, with a magical wishing well keeping its very own secret at the front and a winding staircase leading up to the entrance.

Inside, the welcome is just as special. A glass vestibule with a tiled floor opens through rich, warm mahogany storm doors and a stained glass door into a spacious hallway, where original art deco panelling, glowing with the same warm mahogany tones, and hardwood flooring tell the story of a well-loved family home. Charm and character run through every corner, and this is a house made for gathering.

The large dining room, with its box bay window and views over the garden, has room for the whole family around the table, whether it is a birthday, a Sunday lunch or a long festive get-together with everyone staying for one more cup of tea. Across the hall, the lounge is another generously proportioned box bay room, large enough for a crowd to spread out comfortably. It opens directly into a huge conservatory with complete privacy, a wonderful spot for lazy weekends or hosting friends while the seasons change outside.

Finished in warm walnut brown tones, the kitchen enjoys two windows over the garden and has everything a keen cook could want: a raised oven, a gas hob with a stainless steel hood, an integrated dishwasher and plenty of wall and base storage. From here, a utility space leads to the back door, so muddy boots and busy mornings are easily managed. A fully tiled family bathroom sits close by, and three bedrooms complete this floor, one with a walk-in wardrobe and its own shower and sink.

Then comes the surprise. A door in the hallway reveals a hidden staircase, leading up to a spacious room with generous eaves storage, fitted wardrobes and a separate toilet with a wash basin. Originally a fourth bedroom and currently enjoyed as a second lounge, it makes a perfect living space for older children or teenagers, with room to enjoy a little independence while still being part of the family home, and gives larger or growing families the freedom to shape the home around the way they live.

Outside, the grounds are a gardener’s dream. Fully mature and completely private, they include a secluded garden area that’s perfect for quiet moments outdoors and a large detached double garage at the end of the driveway for cars, hobbies and everything in between. A generous greenhouse, complete with potting benches and a decorative ridge, is ready for seedlings and summer tomatoes, while a timber shed keeps tools close at hand. At the front, a mix of hydrangeas fills the garden with a burst of colour. And then there’s the wishing well, which is more than it first appears. Inside lies a wartime Anderson shelter, a rare survivor that now serves as handy garden storage.

Throughout, the generous rooms and original character are all in place, waiting for someone to bring their own taste and style to them, and a little modernising would let new owners make the house exactly what they have always imagined. This is a home for people who value space, privacy and the quiet pleasure of a place that feels entirely their own.
