18 Westerton Drive, Bridge of Allan, FK9 4AX

This five-bedroom detached house is a rarely available property that has all the charms of traditional architecture, from the large rooms with high ceilings to the well-retained period details. It offers a wealth of interior space and exceptional versatility, including two reception rooms, a breakfasting kitchen, and a three-piece bathroom and separate WC. It also has secure private parking and established gardens. Furthermore, the property enjoys a prime location in the Bridge of Allan conservation area, ensuring easy access to amenities, transport links, and schools. Whilst some buyers may find it beneficial to apply modern upgrades, the residence has clearly been well cared for and it remains an outstanding prospect for families who seek a substantial, characterful home in a family-friendly neighbourhood.

The home has a beautiful façade and approach through the mature front garden, the main door opening with a warm welcome into a vestibule. It leads through to a hall, where neutral patterned wallpaper and a traditional staircase hint at the period character therein.

The home’s two reception areas are comprised of a ground-floor dining room and a first-floor living room. Both mirror one another in their expansive size and eye-catching period features. They are framed by highly decorative cornice work and an ornate ceiling rose, which draws attention to the lofty dimensions.

Each room also has a focal-point fireplace and a bay window as well, ensuring lots of natural light throughout the day. The dining room has the added benefit of a built-in display cabinet, whilst the living room enjoys a south-facing aspect.

It is fitted with base and wall cabinets and wood-toned worktops. Given the size of the space, it provides the new homeowner with lots of scope for modern upgrades, and it has excellent potential to accommodate various designs and layouts. There is also a neighbouring rear hall that has added practicality, connecting to understairs storage, a handy WC, and a separate utility room before flowing out into the rear garden.

Located throughout the home, the five bedrooms provide lots of space and a high degree of versatility to meet the ever-changing needs of families. The south-facing principal bedroom is on the first floor, extending off a landing with a store and a charming stained-glass window. This bedroom is a large double which has the benefit of a fitted washbasin. It is also adjacent to the versatile fifth bedroom which can be accessed from here or the landing, creating a wealth of possibilities. This room could be used as a private dressing area or potentially be converted into an en suite (subject to consent). Another double room (bedroom 3) completes this floor, providing generous built-in wardrobes, a press cupboard, and lovely leafy views.

There are two further double bedrooms on the ground floor, offering the flexibility to be used as additional reception areas, if preferred. Both also have feature fireplaces.

A spacious bathroom is just off the landing. It has a south-facing aspect and a three-piece suite, incorporating a pedestal washbasin, a toilet, and a bathtub – all enveloped in tongue and groove panelling and neutral décor.

Externally, the home is flanked by mature gardens to the front and enclosed rear, where established plants and trees ensure an idyllic leafy ambience.

The rear garden also boasts excellent privacy and a south-facing aspect. Ideal for families, it has a large lawn for relaxing and socialising in the sun, as well as a generous external store to help keep the space tidy. In addition, a gated tandem driveway and a detached garage provide private parking for three cars.
