Auchengarroch, Chalton Road, Bridge of Allan, FK9

The House
Halliday Homes Collections are delighted to bring to the market, Auchengarroch, this most impressive, detached Victorian house which sits within walled garden grounds with a gravel driveway and gated entrance. Erected in 1865, this C listed Victorian style property with Art and Crafts addition, holds a commanding position looking over the town of Bridge of Allan and benefits from modern day living yet still retains many of original features.

The internal accommodation over 3 levels is well laid out both for family living and entertaining. From the front door is an open porch to the entrance hall, open plan bay-windowed hall/sitting room featuring a split staircase to the first floor, dual aspect drawing room with double doors to a south facing sun-room, newly fitted kitchen and large utility room/home office. On the first floor floor there are 4 double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefiting from an en-suite, and a bathroom completes this level. On the lower ground floor there is a large hallway giving access to bedroom 5, study, utility room with shower and a gym/storage room. There is also access to the rear garden from the lower level.

Traditional features include: leaded sash and case windows, deep skirtings, decorative cornicing/ceilings, ceiling roses, timber staircase, original doors and architraves.

The Garden
For the garden lover are the extensive wrap around, walled in, garden grounds which have featured in Scotland's Gardens Scheme. Upon entering the grounds are a fine selection of mature, deciduous and evergreen trees and a fine selection of shrubs. To the west side of the house the trees and shrubs continue to a raised terrace of lawn with steps down to the lower south facing terrace which is also laid with lawn and again a fine selection of mature trees and shrubs. Patio seating, external electric sockets and a potting shed. Two external brick storage huts and bin stores.

The Location
Auchengarroch is within walking distance of the heart of Bridge of Allan. The thriving former spa resort has a fine range of shops, cafes and restaurants, with more extensive shopping facilities being available in nearby Stirling. There is local schooling at nursery and primary level, with secondary schooling at Wallace High in neighbouring Causewayhead. The independent sector is well provided for, with Fairview International in the town itself and other independent schools in the area including Dollar and Morrison's Academy. The town also benefits from its proximity to Stirling University, many of whose sporting facilities are available to the public, as well as a local golf course and sports club. In addition, there are plentiful open spaces and woodland walks.

Bridge of Allan is well positioned for travel to all major towns and cities in central Scotland. The M9 motorway is close by, as is the A9 which gives quick access to Perth. The international airports of Glasgow and Edinburgh are within easy reach by road and the main line railway station in Bridge of Allan has regular services to both cities.
