High Street, Dunblane, FK15

Dating back to 1850, the property is a traditional terraced cottage which has been sympathetically modernised and refurbished to a very high standard. It is located on the High Street, the heart of historic Dunblane and is within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, schools, the station and all other local amenities.

The accommodation comprises a sitting/dining room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, three double bedrooms and a shower room.

The spacious sitting room benefits from tasteful décor and solid oak flooring, and a dining area large enough for an eight-place dining table, ideal for entertaining and family meals.

Opposite the sitting room, the beautiful kitchen combines modern functionality with cottage design, and is fitted with white solid wood units and black marble worktops, a 1.5 stainless steel sink, white Metro-style backsplash tiling and green walls. The flooring is fitted with flagstone and has the added benefit of under-floor heating.

The kitchen is equipped with a Rangemaster range-style cooker with five gas burners and two electric ovens, plus a Beko dishwasher. In a sizeable utility cupboard-cum-pantry, there is also a Hoover washing machine, Candy dryer and Beko larder-style fridge freezer, as well as ample food-storage space.

Off the kitchen, the bathroom is a proper haven of relaxation with a free-standing cast-iron bath, white WC and wash-hand basin with vanity unit. Dark green walls contrast with white tiling and striking Victorian-style encaustic tiled flooring, also benefitting from under-floor heating.

Double white doors open onto the utility room.

Up a flight of carpeted stairs, the three double bedrooms are a good size and benefit from new carpets and tasteful décor in soothing shades of green and blue. The principal bedroom overlooks the front of the property and benefits from a built-in wardrobe.

Beside it, the second bedroom is a lovely peaceful room also overlooking the front.

The charming, bright third bedroom has a window over the back garden and a large walk-in cupboard which provides excellent storage and also houses the property’s Vaillant gas boiler which powers the central heating system.

Opposite this bedroom, the family shower room is fitted with a large walk-in cubicle with an overhead rainstorm shower and hand unit, white WC, wash-hand basin with vanity, black tiled flooring, and a grey heated towel rail.

At the top of the internal stairs, a door opens out to the private split-level back garden, which is partly decked and laid to lawn with mature shrubs and a shed. The garden benefits from a stunning open outlook and breath-taking views over the rooftops of historic Dunblane.

Parking is by residents’ permit and there is ample on-street parking nearby for guests.
