Pass House, Kilmahog, Callander, Stirlingshire, FK17

Beautiful Victorian family home just outside Callander with river views.

Description

Pass House is distinctive late Victorian villa with a stunning riverside setting.

Accessed via a traditional vestibule, the entrance opens into a generously proportioned entrance hall, flooded with natural light from an impressive central skylight. Rich in period detail, the hallway displays original half-height wood panelling and ornate ceiling cornicing, and extends the full length of the house. To the right of the hallway lies the formal drawing room, featuring beautiful floor-to-ceiling oak panelling and a bay window offering uninterrupted views across the River Leny and the surrounding woodland. Adjacent sits bedroom 2, a spacious room with a north-facing bay window and a private WC. Further along the hallway is bedroom 1, also possessing a north-facing view and complemented by a well-appointed en suite bathroom with dual access. A large family shower room is also accessed from the main hallway. Opposite lies the sitting room which is currently arranged as two separate spaces. This room displays a wealth of character, including detailed cornicing and large windows framing views of the river. Next to the sitting room sits the formal dining room, which has a beautiful and distinctive curved window bay and wood panelling filling the room with light and character. A secondary hallway leads from the dining room and hallway to the kitchen. The kitchen is a spacious and functional room, featuring a tasteful fireplace and access to a utility room, larder, WC, traditional coal store and laundry room. A secondary staircase also connects this area to the first floor.

The main staircase leads from the entrance hall and climbs the tower, providing access to the first floor and also to an additional bedroom and roof terrace, further up the tower. On the first floor sits bedroom 3 along with a substantial games room with fireplace and access to extensive attic storage. This level also includes a guest kitchen, bathroom, and additional storage areas. A rear corridor connects to a landing that allows access to bedrooms 4 and 5 - both rooms are filled with natural light and retain an abundance of original character. This landing also provides access to a large linen store and the back staircase down the kitchen.

Pass House is set within approximately two acres of beautiful gardens (which have previously been open to the public under Scotland’s Gardens Scheme) and mature grounds and has its own private bridge across the river. A generous gravel courtyard provides ample parking, while stone pathways meander through lawns, established flowerbeds, and wooded areas. There is also a potting shed, two external stores ideal for outdoor storage. There is also a single garage which can be usefully accessed from inside the house.

Location

Pass House has an incredibly peaceful and private riverfront setting, and is located just 1.8 miles outside the town of Callander.

The main street of Callander offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants and the town has a primary school and secondary schooling at McLaren High School. There are also a number of private schools within reach in Perthshire including Glenalmond College and Strathallan, as well as the Fairview International School in Bridge of Allan. There is also a leisure centre with a swimming pool in Callander and an 18 hole golf course.

Situated on the banks of the River Teith and with Ben Ledi as its backdrop, Callander is known as one of Scotland’s best loved gateways to the highlands. The A84, which runs through its centre, is a main route into Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park where there is scope for every sort of outdoor activity from cycling in the Queen Elizabeth Forest, to fishing or boating on lochs Katrine and Venacher to name a few, as well as climbing local hills such as Ben Ledi, Ben Venue and Ben A’an, or renting shooting or stalking on nearby estates.

Stirling is only about 19 miles away and is the historic heart of Scotland, with Stirling Castle, Bannockburn and the Wallace Monument just a few of the many sights to visit in the local area. Stirling is well placed for road, rail and bus connections to all the major towns in Scotland. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are within easy reach and there are train stations at Stirling, Bridge of Allan and Dunblane, with regular services to both cities. Stirling has a good selection of shops including Waitrose.
