Barn Cottage, Kippen, Stirling, Stirlingshire, FK8

Set within just under an acre of beautifully maintained grounds, Barn Cottage is a striking two year old architect designed self build offering breathtaking panoramic views across open countryside towards the Ochil Hills. This exceptional family home combines contemporary design, energy efficient living and a peaceful rural setting, while remaining within easy reach of Stirling and commuting distance of both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Positioned away from conventional residential estates, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and exclusivity rarely found, making it an ideal retreat for modern family life. Natural light pours through the home from multiple aspects, enhancing the feeling of space and drawing the surrounding landscape into everyday living.

At the heart of the home lies an impressive open plan kitchen, living and dining space, thoughtfully designed for both relaxed family use and entertaining. The kitchen features a central island and high quality fixtures and fittings, while large patio doors open directly onto the spacious and easily maintained rear gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The accommodation is both generous and versatile, comprising four well proportioned bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms benefit from stylish en suite facilities, complemented by a contemporary family bathroom. A separate WC, conveniently located near the utility room, adds further practicality for everyday family life.

An added feature of the property is the fully floored loft space, which can be developed further to create two additional rooms, including a bathroom. This presents an excellent opportunity for future expansion, whether to provide further bedrooms, home office space or guest accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Externally, the home continues to impress. The gardens are expansive and beautifully laid out, offering an ideal setting for children, entertaining and enjoying the surrounding views. A large private driveway provides extensive off street parking and leads to a double garage, all set within grounds approaching an acre in size.

Barn Cottage has been constructed with sustainability and comfort in mind, incorporating an air source heat pump and underfloor heating throughout. Combined with the home’s high standard of insulation and quality materials, this ensures efficient, low cost heating and year round comfort.

Despite its peaceful rural position, the property is superbly located approximately eight miles from Stirling, with excellent road links allowing straightforward commuting to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The nearby village of Kippen offers a strong sense of community along with local amenities and schooling.

Barn Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a bespoke, almost new family home in an outstanding countryside setting. Combining space, light, quality and future potential, it is a truly unique home designed for those seeking something beyond the standard residential offering.
