Bridgend, Callander, FK17

Set within a traditional terrace, this two-bedroom cottage combines character with scope for improvement, making it an excellent choice for those looking to create a home to their own design. While the property is now in need of complete refurbishment, it presents a solid foundation with spacious interiors, flexible living areas, and a truly outstanding garden at the rear. For buyers seeking a project, the potential here is clear -whether to modernise sympathetically in keeping with its charm or to remodel more extensively for contemporary living.

On the ground floor, the accommodation includes a welcoming lounge, which features a living flame gas fire for comfort and patio doors opening directly to the garden, filling the room with natural light and offering easy access outdoors. Adjacent is the dining room, which could serve as a separate entertaining space or be combined with the kitchen to create an open-plan arrangement. The current compact kitchen sits at the rear of the property, offering scope to reconfigure or extend to maximise storage, workspace, and modern appliances. An understairs WC and a useful rear porch complete the layout on this level.

Upstairs, two generously proportioned double bedrooms enjoy L-shaped layouts, providing flexibility for furniture and storage. The bathroom is also located on this level. While the interiors are dated, the generous room sizes allow for imaginative remodelling—whether to upgrade the bathroom, introduce built-in wardrobes, or even consider reconfiguring the space to add an en suite.

Externally, the cottage benefits from on-street parking to the front, while the rear garden is a true feature. Substantial in size, mature, and well stocked, it is arranged into three distinct sections, including a drying area. Its position provides outstanding views of the surrounding countryside, with Ben Ledi as a striking backdrop. This garden offers both practical space for everyday use and a wonderful outdoor retreat, with scope for further landscaping or even the addition of a garden studio or home office (subject to permissions).

Adding to the practicality, there is a brick-built coal shed located in the garden, which houses the boiler installed in 2024—offering buyers reassurance that this key element has already been upgraded. The coal shed also provides useful storage space for garden equipment.

For investors, this property represents an appealing renovation project with strong resale or rental potential in a sought-after area. For owner-occupiers, it offers the chance to create a unique and highly personal home, blending traditional character with modern design.

What the current owners loved most:
The owners particularly enjoyed the garden, which they found to be a peaceful and rewarding space to spend time in throughout the year. The views to Ben Ledi were always a source of pleasure, and they valued the sense of space and privacy the garden offered.
