Balavulin, Lochard Road, STIRLING, Stirlingshire, FK8

NEW TO MARKET

Balavulin occupies an elevated position on Lochard Road, within the picturesque village of Aberfoyle.

The property enjoys a truly striking setting, with a beautiful stone frontage framed by a forested hillside backdrop.

A winding private driveway leads to the side of the home, where a secure gate provides access to the rear, offering ample off street parking.

The home is entered via a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the generous accommodation throughout. The lounge is a standout space, featuring extensive glazing to three sides which floods the room with natural light and creates a seamless connection with the surrounding landscape. A centrally positioned log burner provides a cosy focal point, while the circa 36m2 of floor space comfortably accommodates both lounge and dining furniture.

The sociable kitchen/diner has been thoughtfully designed, with two walls of contemporary cabinetry providing excellent storage and generous worktop space. A central island offers further storage and incorporates the hob with extractor above. A dining area sits at the opposite end of the room, adjacent to a second log burning fire, making this an ideal space for both everyday living and entertaining. Sliding glass doors open directly into the gardens, and a useful utility room lies just off the kitchen, with an additional external door.

The ground floor provides three well proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite shower room. Another room is currently arranged as a music room but offers flexibility for a variety of uses. Two bedrooms enjoy attractive views to the front of the property, while the remaining bedroom and music room overlook the rear garden and surrounding land. There is also a family bathroom located off the hallway.

The upper level is cleverly designed, featuring a number of dormer windows that flood the space with light. This floor offers a beautiful bedroom with ensuite facilities, alongside a versatile family area that could serve as additional living space or a substantial home office.

Balavulin has been designed to embrace its gardens and surrounding landscape, offering stunning views from both the front and rear throughout the year. Several seating areas have been created to enjoy the setting, and the grounds provide parking for multiple vehicles.

The surrounding countryside offers an abundance of outdoor pursuits, including walking and cycling trails, jogging and running routes, hill walking and a range of water sports.
