WHERE better to find a home in the country than the village of Ardlui on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond?
Situated at the head of Scotland’s most famous loch and easily accessible by road and rail, Garristuck is a one-off detached home set in 14 acres at the foot of a mountain, surrounded by spectacular views and gardens complete with trout stream. In addition, there’s a detached, self-contained log cabin with open-plan living room/kitchen, mezzanine bedroom and shower room – ideal as guest accommodation, games room, home working/business base, or holiday let - plus various outbuildings, including a wood store, machinery store, workshop, and agricultural shed with solar photovoltaic panels. Importantly, Garristuck has an EPC B-rating.
Internally, the main house has been upgraded to an exacting standard by the present owners to include underfloor heating throughout the ground and upper floors, satellite broadband, Sonos sound system, and remote-controlled CCTV systems. Accommodation wise, the ground floor entrance hall leads to a cloakroom, spacious 25ft L-shaped sitting room partially open on one side to a sunroom with sliding doors/windows onto the patio, high-spec dining kitchen with integrated appliances, and an adjoining fitted utility with side garden access. Upstairs are three bedrooms – master with private balcony (wonderful views) and luxurious en suite bathroom and dressing area – while the two remaining bedrooms share a shower room.
The garden grounds are a major feature and incorporate a picturesque bridge over the trout stream which flows through the property, patio seating areas, and ample parking to the front. Ardlui village is on the A82 road between Crianlarich and Glasgow and although small, it has an historic hotel, holiday lodges, railway station on the West Highland line (which provides access to both Glasgow and Fort William/Oban), easy access to Loch Lomond’s many water sports and leisure attractions, golf course, and the uniquely characterful Drovers Inn. Garristuck is on the market with Savills’ Glasgow office at offers over £775,000.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
