Strathyre, Callander, FK18

Stroneslaney Farmhouse is a captivating detached stone villa believed to date from the mid to late 1700s, beautifully positioned within Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park near the village of Strathyre. Set in an elevated, private setting above the picturesque River Balvaig, the property enjoys sweeping panoramic views up the glen toward dramatic Highland peaks including Ben Vorlich. Rich in period charm, the home retains an abundance of original features such as exposed stonework, timber beams and traditional fireplaces, thoughtfully complemented by modern upgrades.

The ground floor centres around a welcoming entrance hallway with two principal reception rooms on either side. The sitting room is particularly striking with its vaulted ceiling, exposed stone wall, timber mantel and log burner, plus direct garden access. The dining room mirrors this warmth and character, also featuring a log burner and beamed ceiling. The kitchen is well equipped with fitted units, AGA, Bosch dishwasher and clothes pulley, leading to a rear porch with utility/boot room and garden access. A ground floor bedroom with en-suite shower room sits off an inner hall alongside a WC and coat storage.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts three generous double bedrooms all front facing to maximise the spectacular outlook including a principal room with fitted wardrobes and wash basin. A fully glazed sun room overlooks the garden and woodland and opens onto a raised terrace, while a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower completes the level. The property extends to approximately 173 m² of accommodation.

The gardens extend to around 0.95 acres and are arranged in three distinct areas: a lawned front garden with outdoor dining space and far-reaching hill views; a sheltered upper garden behind the house with mature woodland, stream, waterfall and pond; and a charming riverside garden across the road running down to the riverbank. The grounds are enclosed by stone walls, timber fencing and post and wire boundaries. Practical external features include a double open ended garage/workshop with lockable store, loft storage accessed by external stair, a timber outbuilding with secure bike/tool store and worktop, and a sweeping driveway with ample gravel parking.

The property sits between Balquhidder and Strathyre in a peaceful rural setting yet remains accessible. Balquhidder lies under two miles away and offers a village hall, church and the acclaimed Monachyle Mhor Hotel. Scenic landmarks nearby include Loch Voil, Ben More and Stob Binnein, while Loch Earn offers renowned water sports. For broader amenities, the larger town of Callander is about 10.5 miles away, with additional facilities in Lochearnhead, and the city of Stirling roughly 26 miles south providing motorway links to Glasgow and Edinburgh and their international airports.
