The Beeches is no exception and is set on a substantial plot, half way down Drumbeg Loan, with mature, lawned, landscaped front, side and rear gardens featuring a wealth of shrubs and trees and mature bordering hedge, which only adds to the excellent degree of privacy the property commands. A stone chipped driveway provides an abundance of off street parking to the front and side of the property and there is a double sized garage with electrically operated door. The property has stunning panoramic southerly and westerly views across open countryside to the rear towards Drymen, the Conic Hills, Ben Lomond and the Highland Line.

This detached villa has been extended since its construction in 1948 and now boasts a flexible combination of four main reception rooms, including a substantial west facing conservatory, which takes full advantage of the stunning rear gardens. There are also four bedrooms.

On the ground floor, there is a master bedroom with integrated wardrobes and separate en-suite, featuring a large double shower and four piece suite. There is a separate showerroom, accessed from the reception hallway, which leads to a wood panelled study, which has been converted from an originally sauna and could be reinstated, if required. Bedroom 4 is also on the ground level. On the upper floor, there is a formal sitting room featuring an array of velux windows maximizing natural light through the room and providing the aforementioned exceptional views.

Killearn has an excellent primary school with secondary schooling being at Balfron High, which is one of Scotland's top performing State schools.
