Windsor Place, King's Park, Stirling, Stirlingshire, FK8

This grand Victorian sandstone villa lies on a quiet spot, on leafy Windsor Place, King’s Park, a hugely sought-after part of Stirling.

The home is a fine example of late Victorian architecture. The Victorian period is considered by many to be the heyday of British house building in terms of quality of design and materials, generous living spaces, high ceilings, and sash and case design bay windows.

The house is set back from the road, behind a colourful and established front garden. The soaring ceilings of the entrance hall are bordered with delightfully intricate cornices.

The lower level of the home provides excellent living space which includes:

• A spacious front facing lounge with bay window which draws in a huge amount of light throughout the day. A marble fireplace offers a nice focal point to the room.
• A dining room positioned to the rear of the plan which lies adjacent to the kitchen. The space permits a large dining table and chairs offering a terrific social space. There is an exit point to the courtyard from the dining room. A pretty fireplace is tucked away in the corner of the room.
• A family room with log burning stove, currently set up as a playroom but could be used in a variety of configurations including a fifth bedroom. Off this room is a useful home office but could easily be set up as a walk-in dressing room dependant on buyers’ requirements.

Completing the accommodation on the lower level is:

• A well-equipped kitchen where the walls are lined with cabinetry for storage. There is an integrated Aga and a Belfast sink and the floorspace permits room for a table and chairs.
• A useful utility room located to the rear of the kitchen.
• A handy WC toilet located to the rear of the utility, ideal for darting in and out of the garden.
• A downstairs shower room positioned off the central linear hallway.

A period stairwell links to the upper level of the home where a cupola not only adds elegance but brings in a huge amount of natural light.

The upper level includes the following:

• Four excellent sized bedrooms, two positioned to the front of the plan, with the other two to the rear. The larger front bedroom has substantial storage provision. The rear bedrooms enjoy some lovely outlooks over the gardens.
• A three-piece family bathroom with shower over the bath area.

Externally, the home has beautiful views from the rear garden towards Stirling Castle. The walled gardens provide safety and privacy, and the area has an abundance of mature shrubs, patio areas and three separate lawn areas. There is a lane to the side of the home which provides access to a private garage.

Windsor Place is part of the Kings Park Conservation Area and is a highly desirable place to live. Stirling Golf Club and the town centre are both close by. The town has a good range of shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and high street shops, together with the superstores on the edge of town. Stirling is well placed for road, rail and bus connections to all the major towns in Scotland. The M9 and M80 motorways give quick access to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports are within easy reach. The train station is within walking distance from Windsor Place.

The home is ideal for the family market where reputable nurseries and schools are located within close proximity to the home. Lots of outdoor activities are available within Kings Park which is a short stroll from Windsor Place. Kings Park offers a floodlit skate park and BMX track, outdoor gym equipment, a pavilion, tennis courts, sports fields, picnic tables and seating and stunning walks which lead to great views of Stirling castle, the city skyline and the Ochil Hills.
