The approved bungalow has been thoughtfully designed to provide spacious and practical single-level living.
A welcoming entrance porch opens into a central hallway leading through to a spacious lounge which flows openly into the kitchen and dining area, creating a modern open-plan living environment ideal for both entertaining and everyday family life. The design also incorporates access to a rear balcony area, allowing future owners to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and natural setting. The proposed layout further comprises three generously sized bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate utility area, and excellent storage throughout, all arranged to create a comfortable and functional flow within the home. The flexible layout would suit a wide range of buyers, from growing families to those looking to downsize without compromising on living space.

Gartocharn is an increasingly popular village thanks to its exceptional balance of rural charm and commuter convenience. Surrounded by stunning countryside and only moments from Loch Lomond, residents can enjoy a wide range of outdoor pursuits including walking, cycling, boating, golf, and water sports, all within easy reach of the property. The village benefits from local primary schooling, with secondary schooling available nearby in Alexandria or Balfron, making it well suited for families. Excellent road links via the A811 and nearby A82 provide straightforward commuting access to Glasgow, Stirling, and surrounding areas, while rail services from Balloch offer direct connections into Glasgow city centre. This is a rare opportunity to secure a well-positioned plot with approved plans already in place, offering the perfect chance to build a bespoke home within one of Scotland's most beautiful and accessible locations.
