Oakhurst, Gartocharn, G83

Nestled within a peaceful and highly desirable setting in Gartocharn, Oakhurst is an impressive detached family home offering an exceptional amount of flexible living accommodation. The property combines generous family living with the added benefit of a substantial self-contained annex, making it an ideal choice for those seeking versatile accommodation, guest space, multi-generational living, or a property with excellent income-generating potential.

Approached via a private entrance and substantial driveway, the property immediately creates a sense of privacy and exclusivity. A spacious entrance hallway welcomes you into the home and provides access to a range of beautifully proportioned reception rooms and family living spaces.
The main house offers an excellent balance of formal and informal accommodation, including a spacious living room, elegant dining room, a large conservatory that enjoys lovely views over the gardens and provides an exceptional additional living and entertaining space, and a well-appointed kitchen with adjoining utility room. The versatile layout is perfectly suited to modern family living while retaining distinct spaces for entertaining, relaxation and home working.

The property provides four generously proportioned bedrooms, three of which benefit from en-suite facilities, with two of the en suites having been recently upgraded to an excellent standard. The principal family bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a luxurious five-person sauna, creating a private wellness space rarely found in residential homes. The bedrooms are complemented by fitted wardrobes and excellent built-in storage, while additional attic storage further enhances the home's practicality.

A true standout feature of Oakhurst is the substantial self-contained annex. Originally constructed as a dedicated office, gym and snooker room, the building was later converted into fully independent living accommodation with the appropriate planning permissions and consents in place. Complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area and two bedrooms, it offers outstanding flexibility. Equally suited for extended family, guest accommodation, independent living or a home business, the annex also presents an exceptional opportunity for those seeking additional income. With strong demand for holiday accommodation within Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, together with excellent potential for long-term rental (subject to any necessary consents), the annex could provide a valuable supplementary income stream or make a meaningful contribution towards mortgage costs, significantly enhancing the property's overall appeal.

Further enhancing the property's appeal is a substantial double garage, providing secure parking, excellent storage and workshop potential. Combined with the extensive driveway and generous tarmac parking area, it offers exceptional practicality for families, car enthusiasts, hobbyists or those requiring space for multiple vehicles, boats, caravans or business equipment.

Externally, Oakhurst enjoys extensive private grounds with expansive garden areas providing the perfect setting for family life, outdoor entertaining and simply enjoying the surrounding countryside. A substantial tarmac area offers extensive parking and operational space, while the property's secluded setting is beautifully complemented by breathtaking panoramic views towards the iconic Ben Lomond, creating a spectacular backdrop throughout every season.

Situated in the heart of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, Gartocharn offers an enviable semi-rural lifestyle whilst remaining well connected to nearby towns and transport links. Residents enjoy easy access to the shores of Loch Lomond, scenic walking and cycling routes, golf courses, local amenities and an abundance of outdoor leisure pursuits, making this an outstanding location for those seeking both tranquillity and convenience. The village benefits from Gartocharn Primary School, while the majority of the area falls within the catchment for Vale of Leven Academy in Alexandria, with a small number of properties within the Stirling boundary falling within the catchment for Balfron High School.

A rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and highly versatile detached family home offering exceptional accommodation, a fully self-contained annex with significant income potential, extensive private grounds, a substantial double garage, luxurious family facilities including a five-person sauna, and stunning views towards Ben Lomond, all within one of the area's most sought-after locations and with the natural beauty of Loch Lomond quite literally on the doorstep
