Exceptional Six-Bedroom Countryside Retreat, On 1.5 Acres, With Extensive Grounds And Multiple Outbuildings

Tucked away in peaceful countryside on the outskirts of Balloch, Woodside House is a truly impressive family home offering exceptional space, flexibility and comfort across four levels. Set within approximately 1.5 acres of mature garden grounds, the property includes both an attached and detached double garage, multiple timber outbuildings, a summer house and sweeping driveway access from the main road. Extended in 2017, the house now offers over 250 square metres of internal space, making it ideal for larger families, creative professionals or anyone seeking a lifestyle property with room to grow.
From the outside, the approach is as striking as the home itself. A long driveway leads through mature trees and well-kept lawns to the main house, with extensive parking, garden buildings and beautifully kept grounds surrounding it. A front-facing pond and wraparound decking areas create natural focal points, while post and wire fencing and mature hedging provide a sense of privacy and seclusion.
You enter the property at ground floor level into a bright central hallway with neutral walls and quality wooden flooring that flows through much of the main level. Directly ahead is the stunning kitchen and breakfast room, an expansive and beautifully finished space with light grey cabinets, walls painted to match and solid white worktops. The layout offers plenty of storage and preparation space, with all the modern integrated appliances you’d expect in a home of this scale. A breakfast bar provides seating for casual dining, while beyond it, there’s space for a table and chairs. Doors open directly onto a decked terrace, bringing in natural light and offering lovely views over the surrounding countryside.
From the breakfast area, a wide opening leads to a generous open plan lounge and dining room. This elegant space is framed by large windows and patio doors, creating a bright, welcoming environment that’s both grand and comfortable. Decorative ceiling lights, soft blue walls, crisp white detailing and polished wooden flooring add to the sense of quality and cohesion. There is abundant space here for multiple seating arrangements, a family-sized dining table and additional furnishings to suit a range of layouts or lifestyle needs.
Also on this level is a sixth bedroom or studio, located just off the hall. This versatile space has white walls, a large window and plenty of floor space for bedroom furniture or professional use. Currently used as a studio, it would make an excellent home office, therapy room or private guest bedroom.
A short staircase leads down to the lower ground level, where you’ll find an additional double bedroom, currently used as an art studio. This generous room features neutral walls, direct garden access via full-length doors and an en-suite shower room. The en-suite includes a three-piece suite comprising of a shower enclosure, toilet and wash-hand basin, all finished in clean white tones, making this a prime spot for a guest suite, teenage retreat or flexible hobby space.
From the ground floor, halfway up the main staircase you’ll find a lovely additional living room. Carpeted underfoot and neutrally decorated, the space feels cosy yet bright thanks to windows that look out to both the front and back. A central brick fireplace houses a closed solid fuel stove, offering warmth and a traditional focal point. One wall currently holds a large freestanding bookcase, perfect for avid readers or collectors.
The first floor houses four further bedrooms, along with a main shower room and a private en-suite bathroom serving the primary bedroom. The master bedroom is an exceptionally large and elegant space, with high ceilings, soft-toned walls, wooden flooring and room not only for a large bed and furnishings, but also a sofa and even gym equipment. Two private dressing rooms adjoin the bedroom, each with fitted wardrobes, cupboards and drawers, providing organised, walk-in storage. The en-suite bathroom is just as impressive, fitted with a five-piece suite including a luxurious bath with central taps, a separate walk-in shower enclosure, dual sinks built into a vanity unit with drawers and storage cupboards, a toilet and an additional matching cabinet for bathroom essentials. A tall chrome white radiator completes the space.
Bedroom two is another well-proportioned double, with white walls, wood flooring and a built-in wardrobe with mirrored sliding doors. Bedroom three features a striking deep orange feature wall, with white on the remaining walls and a built-in mirrored wardrobe. A window and small radiator complete the room, which comfortably fits a double bed. Bedroom four is another double room, painted in a vibrant yellow, with a large window and radiator positioned on the side wall.
The main family shower room is also on this floor and includes a four-piece suite with toilet, bidet, wash-hand basin and a corner shower enclosure with chrome edgings. The peach-coloured walls add warmth, while wetwall panelling inside the shower keeps maintenance practical and easy.
Heating throughout the property is provided by a solid fuel boiler, connected to water-filled radiators across the home. Hot water is also supplied by this system, with additional support from solar panels installed on the roof.
The grounds surrounding Woodside House are just as impressive as the home itself. In addition to the lawns and pond, there are areas of decking, a front patio and numerous outbuildings. These include a detached double garage with a pitched and tiled roof, a timber workshop with monopitch roof, an open-sided timber store, a charming summer house and a unique timber BBQ hut, perfect for outdoor entertaining in all seasons.
