Old Doune Road, Dunblane, FK15

This handsome Victorian stone-built semi-detached villa, occupies a particularly desirable position on Old Doune Road. This property has real character and is well maintained, thoughtfully decorated, and offers the kind of gracious, light-filled accommodation that rarely comes to market. With four bedrooms, generous public rooms, excellent parking, and beautifully private gardens to both front and rear, it represents an exceptional opportunity to purchase a piece of Dunblane history.

The house has an attractive street presence, its traditional stonework complemented by a south-facing aspect which fills the principal rooms with natural light throughout the day. Entry is via an elegant period semi-glazed door into a welcoming reception hallway that sets the tone for what follows: bright and airy, with handsome solid wood flooring and a light-well above that adds a further sense of space and openness.

To the right of the hallway lies the sitting room: a spacious and particularly attractive reception space with original wooden flooring, a striking black-leaded open fireplace with painted mantelpiece and tiled hearth, and walls finished in a rich and confident shade of teal, with an attractive feature wall. A bay window draws in the southern light, and an alcove provides useful display and storage space. This is a room that manages to feel both elegant and genuinely comfortable.

To the rear, the dining room overlooks the back garden through a generous window and offers ample space for both a dining table and a relaxed informal seating arrangement. Decorated in a pleasing pale mauve, it is a bright and flexible room with real warmth of character. An original door connects through to the kitchen, which is fitted with an induction hob, two electric ovens, and a range of wall units finished in a subtle shade of grey. Grey oak-effect flooring, solid pine worktops, a useful central island, and a dishwasher complete a kitchen that is both practical and pleasant to work in.

A separate utility room provides additional space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge and freezer. A neat downstairs WC is tucked beneath the stairs.

The ground floor is completed by a further reception room which is cozily decorated in an enveloping shade of dark blue, currently used as a Family Room although could easily become a study or guest bedroom.

On the first floor, two generous double bedrooms offer bright, airy accommodation with neutral décor and good proportions. A third smaller double bedroom currently serves as a study and occasional guest room. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a p-shaped bath with shower over and a full suite of white sanitary ware.

The principal bedroom occupies the upper floor: a lovely, cosy and characterful space with wonderful views, excellent natural light, and the benefit of a private en-suite shower room.

Original features have been retained throughout the property wherever possible, lending the house an authenticity and charm that is difficult to replicate.

Outside, the south-facing front garden is a particular delight. Elevated from the road and sheltered behind a traditional stone wall and high privacy hedging, it is a genuinely sunny and secluded spot in which to sit and enjoy the fine outlook. A long driveway to the side provides off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to two good-sized sheds. The private rear garden offers a paved patio, decked area, lawn and attractively planted raised beds, with a greenhouse, mature shrubs and established privacy hedging completing the picture.
