Braemar Avenue, Dunblane, FK15

This delightful, family home was built around 1980. Having been extended in 2003, the internal area measures 116 square metres and provides accommodation across two levels, comprising a spacious lounge, family room, dine-in kitchen, four bedrooms, ensuite, family bathroom and WC, with a large utility, garage, and private back garden. It also benefits from spectacular views of the surrounding hills and direct access to the popular local park.

The property is entered via a vestibule with access to the downstairs cloakroom and a glass door to the open-plan sitting room and rest of the house.

The spacious lounge looks out onto the front garden and views beyond via a large picture window. This bright, pleasant room benefits from neutral décor with a feature wall and a decorative fireplace surrounding an electric living-flame fire which provides a charming focal point.

A glass door leads to the family room, with a door off to the utility. The family room is a useful, versatile space that could equally function as a more formal dining room or study.

The utility, which was formerly the house kitchen so unusually large, is fitted with high-gloss units with wood-effect work tops and with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and US-style fridge freezer. There is also a ceiling pulley, ideal for drying clothes.

The kitchen diner at the back of the house is a bright, spacious room connected to the family room by glass doors, allowing the flow of light through the house. Double French doors open out to the garden, and a single door towards the garage. The well-equipped kitchen is fitted with stylish cream units with wood-effect worktops, a four-burner Zanussi gas hob, double under-counter ovens, and an integrated dishwasher. There is plenty of room for a big kitchen table, ideal for family suppers or informal entertaining.

Upstairs, the four bedrooms all benefit from stylish, modern décor. The main bedroom is reached via a small passage which also leads to bedroom four. The main bedroom is a lovely peaceful room with an open outlook overlooking the park. It has plenty of space for bedroom furniture and a small study neuk or dressing table. It also benefits from an ensuite shower room, fitted with a corner cubicle with an electric shower, white WC and wash-hand basin.

Bedroom four is the smallest and also overlooks the back garden. It is currently a child’s room, but could equally be used as a dressing room for the main bedroom creating a luxurious suite, or be a craft room or home office.

The second bedroom is at the front of the house and has absolutely spectacular views up to the Braes of Doune and the Ochils. It is a spacious double room and benefits from built-in wardrobes providing excellent storage.

Bedroom three, which is a small double or large single bedroom, also overlooks the front of the house.

The family bathroom is clean and bright and fully tiled, and benefits from a modern white suite comprising a bath with E shower over, wash-hand basin and WC.

Outside, the enclosed back garden is mainly laid to lawn with a paved area which wraps round the house and provides a patio directly outside the kitchen, as well as a child’s play area to one side and access to the garage on the other. It also benefits from a gate which opens out to the popular Braemar Park, ideal for children and dogwalkers.

The front garden is terraced with low-maintenance gravel beds. A monobloc drive provides off-street parking and leads to the property’s single garage.

The property is double glazed throughout, and warmth is provided by a gas-powered Worcester boiler and central heating system.
