Converted steading house with 4.5 acres, and spectacular views towards Stirling Castle.
Description
Kirk Lane House is a superb and contemporary family home which was converted from existing farm buildings in 2013. Once you pass through the roadside electric gates and sweep through the garden up to the front of the house, do you fully appreciate its stunning setting. The front gardens offer superb privacy, and the paddock beyond provide further desirable outdoor space with uninterrupted views towards both Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. This hidden gem of a home needs to be seen to fully appreciate the character, space, nature and quality that it has to offer to families.
Whilst the accommodation has a modern and stylish feel, it retains a great deal of character with features such as impressive French oak timber ceiling beams. The house has spectacular views towards Stirling, and is flooded with an abundance of natural light. Other modern features in the house include a Sonos system with integrated speakers in the living areas, installed Hive heating control system, app controlled outdoor lighting, an electric AGA with independently controlled induction hob and five ovens, solar PV panels (on a Feed in Tariff), electric Came driveway gates, and four en suite shower rooms.
The ground floor accommodation is beautifully presented, and open plan in nature. The dining kitchen has full length windows to the west, overlooking the rear courtyard. The Ashley Anne kitchen fittings include granite surfaces and a central island with breakfast bar and sink with Fohen hot water tap. The electric AGA has four doors, and other NEFF integrated appliances include a microwave, dishwasher fridge and freezer. The utility room is adjacent and houses a boiler / hot water tank cupboard, is plumbed for a tumble dryer and washing machine, and has a door into the garage. The spectacular sitting room has an impressive 22ft high ceiling, and a Schott Robax log burner set into a feature stone wall. It is cleverly divided into two separate seating areas, has views over the front garden, and doors out to the front and rear of the house. A beautiful contemporary timber staircase with glass balustrades leads up to the galleried landing above. The ground floor bedrooms are set off a corridor beyond the sitting room. The principal bedroom suite sits at the end, and has a spacious dressing area with fitted wardrobes, and an en suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms off the corridor, one with an en suite shower room and the other with access to the extensive loft space via Ramsay ladder. There is also a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.
The landing has large French oak timber ceiling beams overhead, and a dedicated study area. From here, the far reaching uninterrupted views to the east over the fields, and towards both Stirling Castle & the Wallace Monument are truly outstanding. There are two double bedrooms on the first floor, one at each end of the landing. Both have their own en suite shower rooms, and one has a dressing room in addition.
Outside
Electric gates open onto the driveway which sweeps around the side of the house and up to the front. Here there is a generous monobloc parking area, and access to the large garage which is integral to the main house. The drive continues past the garage and gives vehicular access into the field.
The gardens at Kirk Lane House are fully enclosed, with flat lawned areas. The lawns wrap around the house on the west, south and east aspect. The principal garden area is to the front of the house, with the field sitting beyond the fence. The field extends to approximately 3.8 acres in all.
The extensive garage is also used as a workshop and for storage as it extends to about 48 x 35 ft in size. It has three electric garage doors to the front of the house, and a further electric door leading out to the rear of the house. Here a wooden gate leads onto the back drive.
Location
Kirk Lane House is situated in a rural, but very accessible setting close to the community of Blair Drummond, just 6.5 miles to the west of Stirling. The stunning countryside surrounding Kirk Lane House is typified by scattered farmhouses, steadings and open farmland interspersed with trees and woodland. The house offers spectacular views, taking in Stirling including the castle and Wallace Monument to the east, and the hills of the Trossachs to the west. Blair Drummond’s services and businesses include a primary school, the well known safari park and the popular Smiddy Farm Shop (all within 2 miles).
Stirling, with its historic castle, has a selection of professional, retail and leisure facilities, including primary and secondary schooling, and a Waitrose supermarket. In addition, there is private schooling at Ardvreck and Morrisons in Crieff as well as Dollar Academy. Fairview International School in Bridge of Allan offers co-educational independent IB candidate schooling for 5 to 13 year olds. Dunblane (8.5 miles) and Bridge of Allan (9 miles) both have popular local services, with the latter being the home to Stirling University with a sports centre and the MacRobert Arts Centre with theatre and cinema.
Accessibility to and from Kirk Lane House is excellent. The M9 motorway in only 5 miles to the west, offering strong commuting links to Glasgow, Edinburgh or Perth. There are also train stations in nearby Stirling, Bridge of Allan and Dunblane with regular services to the major hubs. Glasgow Airport is 37 miles to the southwest and Edinburgh Airport is 36 miles to the southeast.
