Description
A wonderful opportunity to acquire this impressive Grade B listed detached farmhouse, The Dams, set within half an acre of beautifully landscaped gardens, offering stunning countryside views.
This charming home, boasting period features and modern upgrades, provides versatile and spacious living accommodation perfect for family life.
The property spans 1,808 sq ft across two floors, featuring a wealth of character with painted stone walls, wood-panelled doors with latch handles, and open fireplaces. All ground-floor rooms benefit from open views of the south-facing front garden, ensuring an abundance of natural light throughout.
The welcoming reception hallway leads to a dining lounge and family room, both enjoying views of the garden. The inviting main lounge, featuring a newly installed wood-burning stove, offers ample space for entertaining with room for a dining table and chairs. The elegant dining room, complete with an open fireplace, adds a touch of warmth and charm for more intimate gatherings. The country-style kitchen, complete with a cast iron Rayburn, serves as the heart of the home. A sun room, which can also be used as a home office, and a practical WC complete the ground floor. Upstairs, the upper landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and a recently refitted family bathroom. Heating is provided by an efficient oil central heating system.
Planning permission and building warrants have been secured for an extensive conversion, which would transform the property from its current 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout to a spacious 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom home. All engineering works, drawings, and plans are available, providing an exciting opportunity to further enhance the property.
One of the standout features of The Dams is its exceptional garden grounds. The south-facing front garden, mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and a tranquil pond, provides an ideal space for children to play. To the rear, the courtyard parking area offers ample space for vehicles, with spectacular views toward the Ochil Hills.
The current owners have undertaken significant renovations and improvements, including:
• Re-slating the roof and extensive timber work
• Installation of a custom-built timber shed in the rear garden
• 90m of bespoke metal and timber fencing, designed and installed by a mechanical engineering firm
• New water storage heater and piping
• Electrical upgrades, including garage rewiring and a new fuse board
• Refitting of both the upstairs and downstairs bathrooms
• Installation of a new wood-burning stove with a liner
• Servicing of the oil boiler and wet-back fireplace
• Extensive landscaping
• Double glazing fitted by Gecko Glazing, specialists in listed building works
The Dams is located on the edge of the picturesque village of Menstrie, offering convenient access to local shops, a medical centre, and a primary school. Secondary schooling is available in nearby Alva, with Stirling just a short drive away, providing a wide range of retail and leisure options. For commuters, the A91 offers excellent links to major motorways and business hubs across the central belt.
This exceptional property, with its blend of character, modern upgrades, and future development potential, presents a unique opportunity to create a dream family home in a sought-after countryside setting.
