Large ground floor apartment of a beautiful Victorian house in Upper Dunblane.

Description

Glenarn is an extensive ground floor apartment, set in the lower half of a beautiful Victorian house on one of Dunblane’s most desirable residential addresses. It benefits from its own private gardens, generous off-street parking, and an integral double garage. The property offers the exciting potential for its new owner to renovate and modernise the living space throughout, to create a superb home in a very special setting.

The main front door is approached by an attractive footpath which leads from Leewood Road through the front garden, and up to the house. This opens up into an inner porch, with the house’s original oak panelled entrance hall beyond. It has an installed log burner to provide warmth to the heart of the home. A second convenient entrance to Glenarn sits to the side of the house adjacent to the garage and its parking area at the top of the driveway.

There are two stunning original reception rooms set off the entrance hall, both with impressive proportions and large windows overlooking the surrounding gardens. The sitting room and family room both have open fireplaces providing them with warmth and traditional character. The principal bedroom also sits off the hall and has fitted wardrobes.

The kitchen / dining room sits off a corridor leading off the entrance hall. It has fitted units and kitchen appliances including a Leisure range cooker. Two further bedrooms are located off this corridor. The accommodation is completed by a family bathroom with both a bath and shower cubicle, as well as a separate WC.

The gardens at Glenarn are beautiful, mature and private. There are two separate garden areas, both of which have a central lawn enclosed by a variety of mature shrubs and trees to provide it with privacy and shelter. A terrace sits above, and offers an appealing setting for barbecues and the outdoor entertaining of guests. The property has excellent parking thanks to its double garage and private off-street parking area to the side of the house, both of which are approached by the driveway which leads up from Leewood Road.
