General
 The Laurels is located in a wonderful position on the southern outskirts of Drymen, one of the West Coast’s most desirable villages. The conservation village of Drymen has an excellent range of local amenities including primary schooling, a number of convenience stores, a post office, highly regarded pubs and restaurants, bank, gallery and a private health club (Buchanan Arms Hotel). Stirling (about 21 miles) offers a wider range of amenities including excellent shopping and leisure facilities whilst Glasgow (about 19 miles) provides an excellent range of shops, restaurants, galleries and clubs. Milngavie (about 13 miles) has two large supermarkets. There are good secondary schools in the area and Glasgow offers a number of highly regarded private schools. Drymen is located in close proximity to an excellent transport infrastructure with the M9 / M80 motorway system accessible within about 40 minutes drive, a mainline railway station in Milngavie whilst Glasgow International Airport is only 24 miles away offering regular domestic and international flights. Edinburgh is only 58 miles away and can be reached in little over an hour and a quarter’s drive.
The historic county of Stirlingshire and surrounding areas offer an enormous range of cultural and leisure opportunities. There are some excellent golf courses in the area including the Buchanan Castle Golf Club (about 1 mile) and the Balfron Golf Club (about 6 miles) whilst the world famous courses at Loch Lomond, Gleneagles and St Andrews are all relatively easily accessible. Drymen sits within the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park which offers world famous scenery with a plethora of recreation and leisure opportunities including a wide range of water sports. The surrounding hills are also extremely popular with hill walkers and climbers and the County also offers excellent opportunities for mountain biking, sailing, pony trekking, shooting and fishing.
The Laurels is an outstanding detached house located in a superb edge of village location in Drymen. The house sits in a fine elevated position and enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding countryside, particularly towards the Campsie Fells to the south east. Believed to have been built at the turn of the last century, the house is constructed of stone under a pitched slate roof and provides spacious and well appointed accommodation over 2 storeys. On the ground floor the accommodation comprises: Vestibule, hall, 3 public rooms, kitchen, utility area and shower room. On the first floor, there are 6 bedrooms and a bathroom. The property is in good condition and has a number of fine period features befitting a quality family home including some fine cornicing and plasterwork, an attractive staircase with cast iron balustrade, working timber shutters and attractive fireplaces in the principal reception rooms. The house has large sash and case windows which give the property a light and airy atmosphere and is heated using gas fired central heating. Adjoining the house with an access through an interconnecting door from the family room is a traditionally built stone and slate outbuilding which in recent years has been used as an office with an archive store, reception area / office, private office and wc. This building offers enormous scope for a wide range of uses including business use and offices as well as providing great potential to create further residential accommodation (subject to planning). Outside, the house sits in a large garden part enclosed by a mature hedge. Ample parking space is provided on a private driveway.
Properties in such a desirable location and with the quality and character of The Laurels are extremely rare to the market and considerable interest is expected.
