South Torrie, Callander, Perthshire, FK17

Beautifully modernised family house with equestrian facilities set in about 24 acres.

Description

South Torrie is a charming country cottage and was comprehensively remodelled, upgraded and extended in 2019/20 to create an impressive contemporary family home. Set within about 24 acres, the property enjoys a picturesque rural setting and benefits from excellent equestrian facilities, beautiful gardens, mature woodland and approximately 15 acres of grazing land.
Designed with modern family living in mind, the house enjoys wonderful views towards Ben Ledi and the surrounding landscape of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. At its heart is an outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and family room. Flooded with natural light from expansive glazing and large rooflights, this superb space is perfectly suited to both everyday family life and entertaining.
The kitchen, upgraded in 2024 along with the utility room, is fitted with stylish cabinetry and Quartz worktops. Appliances include an integrated Neff induction hob with glass downdraft extractor, a Neff Slide&Hide oven, Neff combination microwave oven and grill, Neff warming drawer and a Quooker tap. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, which features fitted bench seating and a dual zone wine fridge, and beyond to the family room, where a wood-burning stove and south-facing views create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Three steps lead down through a wide opening into the principal sitting room, an equally impressive space featuring a vaulted ceiling, bespoke fitted shelving, large picture windows and a log-burning stove. Sliding doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.
The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged and comprises five bedrooms. Three are accessed from the original entrance hall leading off the kitchen. The principal bedroom suite includes a dressing area and an en suite shower room with twin wash hand basins. Bedroom 2 enjoys Jack-and-Jill access to the family bathroom, which also serves the hall. The third room on this side of the house is currently arranged as a study and includes fitted wardrobe storage.
A separate corridor leading from the sitting room provides access to two further double bedrooms, which share a shower room. Completing the accommodation is a well-positioned utility room with an external door to the rear.

OUTSIDE
To the side of the house is a garage and a spacious gravelled parking area. From here, paths meander through the gardens to the original front entrance and the principal terrace. Positioned to take full advantage of the outlook across the gardens and paddocks, the terrace features flagstone paving and a fixed pergola, creating an attractive setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The driveway continues beyond the garage/workshop to the equestrian facilities, riding arena and fields. A Zappi EV charging point has been installed on the garage/workshop. South Torrie offers excellent equestrian facilities, with approximately 15 acres of grazing land, making it equally well suited as a lifestyle property or smallholding. The property benefits from a professionally installed 40m x 20m riding arena with a sand and fibre surface, stabling, a feed store, additional store room and a separate lockable tack room. An open-fronted tractor shed is situated alongside. The stables benefit from electricity, lighting, water and rubber matting flooring, while two field shelters are positioned within the grazing land.
Below the house is a productive kitchen garden with a variety of fruit and vegetable beds, together with a chicken coop and enclosed run. To the west and east of the grazing fields are two areas of stunning mature woodland extending to more than 8 acres in total. Predominantly broadleaf in nature, the woodland provides excellent shelter and privacy, while offering attractive walking and hacking routes beneath the canopy. Two burns run through the woodland, which also supports an abundance of wildlife and further enhances the property's exceptional natural setting.
