Kilmahog, Callander, Stirlingshire, FK17

UNDER OFFER

This immaculate three-bedroom cottage in Kilmahog, Callander has been beautifully renovated and extended by the current owners.

The house is defined by an excellent quality of light and a considered palette of materials which have been used internally and externally.

Lade Cottage is a short distance from the main promenade of Callander and sits perfectly to explore the varied selection of walks, local woodlands and mountain peaks all located in and around the Trossachs.

The house cuts a particularly striking figure, with its crisp white and red façade and thriving gardens which surround the home providing privacy and safety. Standing in the garden, the calming sound of the stream which runs on the outskirts of the home’s boundaries can be heard. Previously, these waters were used to supply the local woollen mill.

Entry from the front is through the extension, which is a light filled room, ideal for morning coffee taking in the outlooks over the gardens. Its also perfect for hanging coats and jackets and shoe storage.

This leads into the dining kitchen which has been the subject of a complete renovation. Slick cabinetry lines two walls of the kitchen and worktop space is perfect for food preparation. A nice sink has purposely been placed at the window to take in the views of the surrounding fields and flocks of sheep, grazing, relaxing and socialising. The floorspace within the kitchen permits ample room for a dining table and chairs.

This area flows wonderfully into the living room where ceiling beams hints at the house’s origins and a woodburning stove creates a nice focal point. The expansive floorspace allows for various items of lounge furnishings. The stairwell to the upper level is positioned off the lounge.

The family shower room is on the ground level, generous in size and finished to an exceptional standard. There is a walk-in shower, sink with storage and a WC toilet. The walls are lined with contemporary wet wall. The shower is a thermostatic rain shower powered from the main water supply. This set up ensures a stable water temperature and reliable water flow.

Three Bedrooms sit on the upper level. The larger of the three is a beautiful room where large panes of glass bring in the light and provide outlooks over the local farmland. The second bedroom is a good-sized double with the third being set up as a home office but could easily be used as an additional bedroom.

A creatively planted garden surrounds the home. The colours and greenery provide a sense of peace and tranquillity, planted with an almost entirely evergreen offering of plantings. Most of the plants are perennial that grow and bloom over the Spring and Summer months. Various fruit beds and trees are positioned within the garden space and the garden has sunny and shaded spots in equal measure, with various areas to sit and enjoy the summer sun. The current owner has lovingly cultivated several specialist plants over the years. The cottage garden is characterized by its informal, abundant, and colourful appearance. Included within the sale is a 8x10 greenhouse and a 10x10 metal shed.

Parking is off street and allows for various types of vehicles and a detached garage provides excellent outside storage and workspace.

Kilmahog is a hamlet situated ½ mile to the west of Callander and positioned along the River Leny.

A very attractable home and viewings can be booked via the selling agents, Slater Hogg & Howison.
