Glenelg, Croftamie, Glasgow, G63 0EU

Set within the peaceful village of Croftamie, surrounded by open countryside and within easy reach of Loch Lomond, Glenelg is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home set within approximately half an acre of established grounds, that has been comprehensively upgraded, extended and carefully maintained, all within approximately 30 minutes of Glasgow’s West End.

Houses of this age are often full of character, but they are not always straightforward.

Here, the current owners have taken a thoughtful, long-term approach, addressing the fundamentals first and then improving how the house works for modern life.

The character of the original house has been respected and retained, now paired with modern convenience where it matters.

A new roof was installed in 2020, upstairs windows within the original house have been replaced with double glazing, and two wood-burning stoves add both warmth and a sense of occasion.

Outside, the rear patio and garden were landscaped in 2023 and feature apple and plum trees.

Forming part of the wider grounds, they create a practical outdoor space that’s easily accessed directly from the kitchen and living area.

The accommodation is generous and flexible, arranged over two main levels, with a substantial two-storey rear extension that has transformed both the scale and the flow of the house.

At its centre sits a large, modern kitchen and family space with direct access to the patio and garden, designed for everyday use, relaxed evenings and great for entertaining.

Throughout, the property has been consistently maintained, giving it a solidity and comfort that is increasingly hard to find in period homes that have either been left untouched or overworked.

Croftamie is a small, well-regarded village, valued for its sense of calm and its connection to the surrounding landscape.

The area is ideally placed for access to some of Scotland’s most popular walking routes, including the West Highland Way, the John Muir Way and the Conic Hill range along the shores of Loch Lomond.

The village offers a local restaurant (The But & Ben), with a broader range of services available in nearby Drymen, including shops, schooling, healthcare and hospitality.

Drymen Primary School feeds into Balfron High School, and road links allow straightforward access to both Glasgow and Stirling.

A house that brings together age, scale and setting with the reassurance of significant investment, offering character without compromise, and space to make it your own over time.
