Gowanbank, 5 Sorley's Brae, Dollar FK14 7AS

An exciting opportunity to acquire a handsome detached period villa nestled in a quiet, highly desirable pocket of Dollar, offering a wealth of original character features and panoramic views towards the Ochil Hills. Harper & Stone are delighted to offer to the open market this substantial four bedroom home, dating back to circa 1900. Gowanbank offers approximately 154 sqm of flexible living accommodation and would benefit from modernisation, making it an ideal prospect for those seeking a property with development potential in a prime location.

The Accommodation is presented as below:

Ground Floor: Entrance Hall, Lounge, Drawing/Dining Room, Kitchen and Rear Sitting Room/snug.
First Floor: Landing, Four Bedrooms and a Bathroom.

Entry to the property is via the original front door, complete with a charming stained glass transom window above, opening into a quaint hallway adorned with a striking Victorian tiled floor which is a beautiful nod to the home’s heritage. To the right, the formal lounge offers a wonderfully proportioned reception space, featuring a large bay window that floods the room with natural light. At its heart is an original open fireplace set within a tiled insert and framed by an elegant solid wood surround. On the opposite side of the hallway lies the drawing room, equally generous in size, also boasting a graceful bay window and an ornate fireplace with period detailing. Both reception rooms benefit from original press cupboards, providing practical built-in storage and further enhancing their traditional charm.

From the lounge, a door leads through to the kitchen which presents a well-considered selection of wall and base units offering ample storage and preparation space. Integrated appliances include a halogen hob and a double electric oven while there is additional room for two freestanding appliances. A door from the kitchen provides direct access to the rear garden. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile additional room ideal for use as a sitting room, snug or children's playroom depending on individual needs. This flexible space adds to the adaptability of the layout and further enhances the property’s appeal to modern family living.

Heading upstairs natural light cascades through a charming window positioned midway on the staircase, illuminating the landing and creating a bright and welcoming transition to the upper level. To the left lies Bedroom 3, a delightful rear-facing double room featuring a character fireplace and a striking original stained glass window that adds both colour and historic charm. Adjacent is Bedroom 4, a comfortable single room with a front-facing outlook, ideally suited as a nursery, guest room or a quiet home office space.

The principal bedroom occupies a generous footprint and is a standout feature of the home. This expansive room easily accommodates a super king-sized bed with space to spare, while a stunning period fireplace takes centre stage, showcasing decorative tiling, a black lead firebox and a classic white mantle. A vanity sink is also incorporated into the room, adding practicality without compromising on style. Bedroom 2 is another spacious double room, again benefiting from its own vanity sink and offering flexibility as a guest bedroom or additional family accommodation. Completing the upper level is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath, floating wash hand basin and WC. This space presents an opportunity for modernisation to suit individual preferences and could be redesigned to create a contemporary and stylish family bathroom.

Externally there are private garden grounds to the front, side and rear of the property bounded by a mixture of fencing and stone walls. Off street parking is available to the side of the property on a private driveway.

The sale will include all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, window coverings, and integrated appliances where applicable. Any other items are to be by separate negotiation with the seller.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.
