Glenhead Steading, Dunblane, FK15

Beautifully presented and extensively renovated steading conversion set within approximately 0.75 acres of mature gardens, offering spacious and versatile family accommodation, a large sheltered courtyard, ample parking and outstanding countryside views.

Occupying a peaceful rural position on the outskirts of Dunblane, this impressive former steading was converted around 1995 and has been comprehensively upgraded by the current owners to an exceptional standard. Combining traditional character with contemporary finishes, the property enjoys an idyllic countryside setting whilst remaining conveniently located for access to the A9 and the amenities of Dunblane.

Extending to approximately 383m2 the accommodation is both generous and flexible, arranged over two levels to suit a variety of buyers. The ground floor comprises a welcoming sunroom entrance, an impressive double-height sitting/dining room with feature stone fireplace, a striking circular lounge with multi-fuel stove, a spacious breakfasting kitchen fitted with contemporary cabinetry, Corian and granite worktops, a dual-oven AGA and integrated Miele and AEG appliances, together with a versatile playroom. A study overlooking the courtyard provides an ideal home working space, while a generous principal bedroom with en-suite shower room, utility room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, a galleried landing overlooks the sitting/dining room and provides access to four further well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a spacious guest bedroom with en-suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower completes the upper level.

The property has benefitted from an extensive programme of improvements by the current owners, including bespoke windows and doors by John McLeod of Doune, a high-efficiency Bosch gas boiler, Farrow and Ball paintwork, a contemporary utility room, oak flooring and plush carpeting, security and CCTV systems, electric vehicle charging point, and insulation works, creating an energy-efficient home that is presented in true walk-in condition.

Warmth is provided by gas central heating, and the property is fully double glazed. A 3.36kW solar PV array with Feed-in Tariff (to May 2036) generates an income of approximately £1,500 per year, while 1GB full-fibre broadband is available, making the property ideal for modern family living and home working.

Externally, the property enjoys extensive mature gardens extending to approximately 0.75 acres, including a large south-facing enclosed courtyard which provides an excellent space for pets, children and outdoor entertaining. A substantial gravel driveway extends from the tarmac access track and accommodates up to 5 vehicles. A large powered and insulated storeroom is attached to the main steading, offering versatile workshop, hobby and storage space. The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn with mature hedging, stone boundary walls, established planting, raised patio areas and uninterrupted views of Ben Ledi and the Braes of Doune.

The property benefits from a current planning permission for the construction of a three-bay garage with storage space over. This would allow the existing storeroom to be freed up for potential conversion into further accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

A truly exceptional steading conversion offering an outstanding combination of character, contemporary specification and peaceful rural living within easy reach of Dunblane.
