Hallhill Cottage, Auchengreoch Road, Howwood, PA9 1AB

The property

Hallhill Cottage is a beautifully presented former coach house dating back to the 1930s. The cottage has been comprehensively modernised and upgraded, enjoys a delightful semi-rural setting within grounds of circa 4.3 acres, and affords vistas of the surrounding countryside and Ben Lomond. The entrance to the cottage is via an archway which leads into the courtyard where there is access to the house, stables, swimming pool, gym and garage. Over the past eight years the present owners have set upon a comprehensive upgrading program consisting of reroofing the majority of the property, new double glazing throughout and re-surfacing of the access road and driveway. The kitchen and utility room and the three en-suites have also been beautifully refitted. Internally the clients have lavished time, effort and money into creating a beautiful family home which is more than fit for today's modern life. The reception hallway gives access to a sitting room to the left that could be used as a fourth bedroom should the need arise. It is a stunning room with feature fireplace and multi fuel inset stove. Immediately off the hallway there is also a cloakroom with separate shower and WC (with en-suite potential) and a walk-in storage cupboard. As you make your way along the incredibly bright open plan hallway it becomes apparent as to the level of quality given to this home with the oak finishes, double sided solid fuel stove to both lounge and dining room and the stunning breakfast kitchen with its high gloss wall and base units and French doors that lead to the east facing timber deck. Off the kitchen there is a separate utility room with WC off. The carpeted stairwell leads to the first floor at the half turn landing there is what can only be described as a ‘window to the world', a fantastic open aspect that overlooks the fields below, the surrounding countryside with views over to Ben Lomond. On the first floor itself there are three bedrooms, each benefitting from built in fitted mirror wardrobes, fully tiled en suite facilities complete in a contemporary design and fabulous elevated views from each of the rooms. From the courtyard access is gained to the quite stunning indoor 24' x 12' heated swimming pool, a pre-requisite for those balmy sunny days! Adjacent to the pool house is a separate gym. You can also gain access to the stables internally from here. There are two further 'rooms' which could be used for a variety of purposes. Hallhill Cottage is accessed via a tree lined pillared avenue. A private driveway leads to the double garage with an electric up & over door and there is driveway parking for numerous cars. There are extensive garden grounds including a large greenhouse (34' long) and outhouse with light and power. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with various mature trees, conifers and hedgerow. To the front of the property there is an ornamental pond, flower beds and a further lawn area. This property would be ideal for those with equestrian interests as it has excellent facilities including a stable block with four large 'Loddon' boxes, complete with vaulted ceiling and a door to the rear leads to a paddock, and the adjoining field. The specification includes double glazing, security alarm system, oil central heating and private drainage via septic tank. Hallhill Cottage is positioned in the hills above Howwood amidst garden grounds offering high levels of privacy. The A737 is within 3 miles of the property and gives direct access to the M8 motorway network. Howwood, Milliken Park and Johnstone train stations are a short distance away. This gives access to Glasgow Central as well as North Ayrshire. Howwood also offers excellent amenities including local shops and the Bowfield Country Club.
