Description

This three-bedroom detached home is the former Kirkintilloch West Bar, a Category B Listed sandstone building with a distinctive historic character. It occupies an elevated position beside open parkland and woodland, with views across surrounding countryside. The enclosed garden includes lawn, young fruit trees and timber sheds, while private bay parking is provided at the front. Kirkintilloch and Lenzie amenities are nearby, with access to the A803 and local walking routes. Inside, the lounge has windows on two sides and connects with the kitchen, which is fitted with red high-gloss cabinets, an island, integrated washer/dryer and fridge-freezer. A ground-floor room currently used as a second lounge has a period fireplace and could alternatively serve as a bedroom. Another bedroom includes a window seat and exposed beams, while a further room incorporates three barrel-vaulted stone recesses that reflect the building's former use. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, storage and a window. A staircase from the lounge leads to a floored and decorated attic space currently suitable for storage or use as a playroom. Further conversion would be subject to the necessary consents. The property offers scope to adapt its rooms and attic use, with any changes requiring careful consideration of its listed status and the building's historic fabric.

79out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £299,000, this distinctive Category B listed former toll house is priced at £142 per sq ft, around 38% below the local average—a strong entry point for a buyer seeking character and value. Its sandstone frontage, period fireplace, dual-aspect lounge and elevated outlook over parkland give it a memorable identity, while the enclosed, well-kept garden adds to the appeal.

Inside, the house looks usable, with mostly light decorative updating to consider rather than a major overhaul. The red kitchen is a particularly individual feature, and the converted attic offers possible further potential, subject to consents and listed-building requirements. The main trade-off is that listed status may limit how freely you can alter this historic home.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire at a notably low price per square foot relative to the local average.
  • Refresh the dated decorative finishes while retaining the sandstone, timber details and period fireplace that give the house its character.
  • Explore the floored, decorated attic’s potential, subject to feasibility, consents and listed-building requirements.

Key risks

  • Category B listed status may constrain renovation choices and any attic conversion; verify requirements before committing to changes.
  • The condition of concealed fabric and services cannot be established from the photographs; inspect the historic masonry and roof closely.
