Description

Stunning refurbished Georgian mansion house.

Description

The Moss is a superb and substantial C Listed mansion house which occupies a south-facing position on the edge of the Stirlingshire village of Killearn. Dating from the 1720s, the house once boasted an extension designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and although this is no longer in evidence, some Rennie Mackintosh detailing remains along the existing period features.
Built to a classic Georgian style, The Moss displays traditional full height windows, which fill the house with light, and there are several fireplaces and cornicing still intact. The property has recently undergone a complete and transformative refurbishment and now combines its 18th century elegance with the clean lines of contemporary design. Arranged over two levels, the accommodation begins with a fine reception hall, off which are the main reception rooms. The dual aspect sitting room has a wood burning stove and working shutters, while the drawing room has a splendid fireplace and bay window, as does the dining room.
The beautiful blend of old and new is especially apparent in the stunning breakfasting kitchen which has a blush pink AGA but also double electric ovens set into a large central island with breakfast bar. Minimalist matt grey cabinetry, floor to ceiling modern windows and French doors out to the paved terrace make this a stylish and practical space. Completing the ground floor is a bay windowed family room, a newly fitted boot room with built in storage, a utility room and home office.
There are two separate staircases leading upstairs where there are a total of six double bedrooms, two with en suites, a further two family bathrooms and a fabulous new fitted dressing room. All the luxurious bath/shower rooms have been recently installed.

OUTBUILDINGS
To the rear of the property there is an enclosed courtyard around which are multiple useful outbuildings including a garden store, double garage, woodsheds, workshops, a gardener’s WC, a large log store and a covered lean-to.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The Moss is accessed via a tarmac driveway which sits between two stone gate piers and is flanked by mature trees and rhododendrons. The grounds include a charming natural pond and an expanse of mature woodland within which are a pretty series of burns. A large gravel courtyard provides plenty of parking.

Location

The Moss is located in a wonderfully private position tucked away on the southern edge of the much-desired commuter village of Killearn. Killearn has a real community feel, with village stores, two well respected pubs with restaurants and a number of specialist shops. There is a highly regarded primary school in the village and the property is in the catchment for Balfron High School which regularly makes the top 15 of the Scottish state schools league table. Private schooling can be found in Glasgow or the many Perthshire schools which offer private education for day and boarding pupils.
Stirling (21 miles) is the major town of central Scotland and offers both excellent retail and leisure facilities along with its historic Castle and access to the motorway network. Glasgow (16 miles), Scotland's largest city, is one of the UK's most fashionable cities with outstanding shopping, excellent theatres and a thriving business district. The acclaimed Buchanan Castle Golf Course is within a few miles and is regarded by many as one of the area’s best courses. Other outdoor pursuits abound, with excellent low ground shooting on neighbouring estates and also some superb fishing in the area. Nearby Loch Lomond offers a variety of water sports.
