About
West Lodge is a charming and substantial detached cottage, enviably positioned within the highly sought-after conservation village of Kilbarchan.
Occupying a prominent position at the entrance to the village, the property enjoys the rare benefit of secluded, walled private gardens while remaining exceptionally convenient for commuters, with swift access to the A737 dual carriageway, Glasgow Airport, the M8 motorway network and Glasgow city centre.
This attractive traditional home features a rendered exterior beneath a tiled roof and has been thoughtfully enhanced by a substantial rear extension together with a converted attic level, creating a spacious and versatile family home.
The property now offers six principal apartments with a flexible layout ideally suited to modern family living.
Beautifully presented throughout, the interior combines traditional character with contemporary style, featuring tasteful décor, quality finishes and an excellent specification.
The bathrooms are fitted with modern sanitary ware, while the contemporary kitchen is well-appointed with quality integrated appliances.
Further benefits include gas-fired central heating, double glazing throughout and an attached single garage, currently utilised as a gym and storeroom.
The accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into the reception hall, providing access to the principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and an impressive formal dining room.
An inner hall connects to the upper level, a second ground-floor bedroom and the stylish fitted kitchen.
To the rear of the property, a further hall leads into the generously proportioned lounge, an upgraded family bathroom and a practical rear porch.
The upper floor opens onto a spacious reception landing, ideal as a study or reading area, and provides access to two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes, together with an additional contemporary bathroom.
Externally, West Lodge is set within beautifully enclosed gardens bounded by traditional stone walls, with both vehicular and pedestrian gated access enhancing privacy and security.
The front and side gardens are mainly laid to lawn with established pathways leading to the rear.
The level rear garden offers an excellent outdoor space for families and entertaining alike, featuring a generous lawn bordered by mature trees, a driveway, patio seating area and a timber shed providing useful external storage.
Kilbarchan remains one of Renfrewshire's most desirable villages, renowned for its historic character, strong community atmosphere and excellent local amenities, including independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants.
The village is ideally placed adjacent to the A737 Howwood bypass, offering excellent connectivity to the M8 motorway, Glasgow Airport, retail and leisure facilities, and Glasgow city centre beyond.
