Details
Set within fabulous gardens in this coveted pocket of Lenzie, Glenbank House is a detached unique home full of character and history.
The property still has many of the original Arts and Crafts features including wood panelling and fireplaces.
The property was commissioned by famous photographer James Craig Annan, the architect was Frederick Rowntree and the interior was designed by highly acclaimed artist, George Walton.
Both were ‘Glasgow Boys’ and alumni of the early days of the Glasgow School of Art.
Both were also contemporaries of Charles Rennie MacIntosh who is known to have visited the property and displayed his own artwork at the house.
Many of the original period features have been retained such as the beautiful timber built in cupboards, oversized door, wooden panelling, bookcases and fireplaces.
The accommodation is entered through an entrance vestibule which leads through to an amazing reception hallway. The hallway has an amazing collection of original features including a wonderful staircase and timber details. The principal reception room is an incredible size and is arranged into two distinct spaces. A formal lounge in a familiar Victorian style with dual aspect windows leads to a second space with wood panelling and a fireplace which features a brass plaque inscribed with the initials of the property’s famous designers.
The dining room is another space of note worthy proportions and has a range of features including decorative plaster work and period carpentry. The dining room presently doubles up to become a billiards room.
The kitchen is a wonderful open plan space with ample space for a breakfast area at one end. A discreetly positioned office just off the hallway is a perfect space for those requiring a quiet space to work. There is also a large utility room with direct access to the gardens, a cloakroom and WC which complete the ground floor.
On the first floor a large landing has access to the principal suite which enjoys dual aspect windows, plenty of storage and an ensuite shower room all of which combine to create a space befitting of this lovely home.
There are four further double bedrooms, one of which is set out as a sitting room at present, all of which offer some unique characteristics. The family bathroom and an additional shower room provide plenty of services for the accommodation.
The property is set in truly spectacular grounds with mature trees, plants and shrubs creating a personal haven to enjoy.
Period outbuildings offer additional storage.
Within walking distance of all amenities including bars, restaurants, shops and Lenzie train station. Lenzie is an ideal location for commuting to the cities of the central belt and beyond. There is excellent schooling at both primary and secondary level. There are a vast number of leisure facilities close to the village including Kirkintilloch Leisure Centre, Golf Courses and great local walks.
The Energy Performance Rating for this property is E.
