Rod Christie, who is handling the sale for CKD Galbraith said:
“Properties in such a desirable location and with the quality and character of The Old Schoolhouse rarely come on the market and we expect a considerable amount of interest for this wonderful family house. This property offers spectacular views over the Campsie Fells and original features of the schoolmaster’s house.”

The village is sited on the slopes of Crow Hill, an outlying foothill forming the westernmost point of the Campsie Fells with Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park only a short drive away and many of Scotland’s championship golf courses including Gleneagles and St Andrews within easy reach.

The Old Schoolhouse comprises five bedrooms with en suite shower room off the master bedroom, large sitting room, attractive conservatory, dining kitchen, utility room and family bathroom. The property sits in a large and well maintained garden with an extensive lawn area, private driveway, timber potting shed and double garage.
