Exceptional detached villa overlooking Bardowie Loch, architect designed and reimagined by its current owner to provide unexpectedly bright and spacious accommodation extending to seven principal apartments, with spectacular panoramic southerly views across open countryside.

Designed and reimagined by its architect owner to create a remarkable family home, this exceptional detached villa occupies an enviable position within the sought-after village of Bardowie, overlooking Bardowie Loch. Behind its understated exterior lies an unexpectedly spacious and beautifully planned interior extending to seven principal apartments, with every effort made to maximise the spectacular panoramic southerly views across open countryside.

The majority of the accommodation has been designed to maximise the outstanding outlook and to take full advantage of the views. Initially entered via an entrance vestibule, the accommodation comprises a striking and wonderfully bright entrance foyer, which provides a wonderful entertaining or relaxing space, where extensive glazing draws natural light deep into the interior and frames uninterrupted views across the surrounding farmland Adjoining the entrance foyer, there is an orangery, giving the entry into the property an extremely airy, bright and almost continental feel. The original house is entered where the lower hall provides access to two generous double bedrooms to the front of the property, a well-appointed bathroom, a bright and spacious family room and dining room, with separate home office or study off, a striking, modern dining kitchen, with a range of storage, lots of countertop space and integrated appliances, adjoining internal hall, which provides internal access to the single garage, utility room and practical 'tool' room workshop or boot room.

From the main hall, a staircase rises to a dramatic galleried landing, overlooking the entrance hall below, creating an impressive sense of space and volume. The first floor is dedicated to a superb principal bedroom suite, with the bedroom enjoying dual wardrobes and a generous floor area, complemented by a spacious family bathroom nearby. Completing the upper level, there is an exceptional sitting room, where full-width glazing has been carefully incorporated to capture the breathtaking elevated views, stretching south across the surrounding countryside and making this one of the most impressive rooms within the property.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide excellent flexibility, allowing the house to adapt easily to changing family requirements while maintaining a wonderful balance between formal reception rooms and relaxed everyday living spaces.


Externally, the property is equally impressive. A monoblocked driveway provides generous off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to a substantial single garage, while the front garden is enclosed by mature planting and a stone boundary wall, creating both privacy and an attractive approach. To the rear, the south-facing garden enjoys a high degree of shelter and privacy, with an expansive patio providing the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. Beyond lies a level lawn, bordered by mature shrubs and planting. There is also an extensive, powered and well-lit basement offering excellent storage.

Bardowie is one of East Dunbartonshire's most desirable semi-rural locations, offering a unique combination of countryside tranquillity and everyday convenience. Situated adjacent to Bardowie Loch, with its sailing club and picturesque walks, the property is only around two miles from both Milngavie and Bearsden. These neighbouring towns provide an excellent range of amenities, including supermarkets such as Marks & Spencer and Waitrose, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and railway stations offering regular services into Glasgow. Mugdock Country Park and the West Highland Way are also close by, while the area is particularly well regarded for its excellent primary and secondary schooling, together with a choice of highly regarded independent schools within easy reach.
