This detached three-bedroom bungalow offers comfortable single-level living on a notably large plot in Gartcosh. The layout is traditional with a central hallway, three bedrooms, a modern tiled shower room, and generous living space with mid-century bay window detail. Single-floor access and a floored attic provide substantial storage and straightforward circulation for downsizers.
Externally the property stands out for its extensive garden grounds, car port and separate garage — rare for newer builds and ideal for gardening, keen hobbyists, or extension potential (subject to planning). The floored attic with ladder gives additional usable space without major structural work. Some rooms show mid-century fittings and may benefit from light modernisation to match the upgraded shower room.
Gartcosh combines village character with strong commuter links: direct rail services to Glasgow and Edinburgh and easy access to the M73, M80 and M8. The area has good local amenities, play facilities and community pitch nearby, making day-to-day life convenient. Buyers should note practical considerations: the council tax banding is above average, and the broader local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect some services and resale dynamics.
Overall this bungalow suits buyers seeking single-floor convenience, a generous private garden and scope to personalise. It represents a practical downsizing opportunity or a buy-to-improve project for someone wanting space, storage, and strong transport connections.
