Bridgend, Callander, FK17

Charming four-bedroom 19th-century stone cottage in a prime Callander setting, rich in period character and offering superb potential for modernisation.


18 Bridgend is a very attractive stone-built historic cottage, full of charm, character and traditional features, while offering an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernise and personalise the accommodation.

The property is entered through a small hallway, leading to the formal dining room to the right, stairs to the upper level and the delightful sitting room to the left. This is a particularly cosy, cottage-style space with exposed beams, cream walls, red carpeting and an attractive brick fireplace with a rustic wooden mantle and wood-burning stove. The sitting room opens to a family room/sun room, which enjoys lovely views over the rear garden through sliding doors, with additional French doors opening to the side.

The kitchen also overlooks the rear garden and incorporates a useful carpeted area, ideal for a kitchen table and informal family meals. It is fitted with cream cabinetry, tiled and laminate worktops and wood-effect laminate flooring. Appliances include a stainless-steel free-standing cooker with gas hob and two electric ovens, tumble dryer, dishwasher and larder-style fridge freezer. A pantry cupboard provides useful additional storage.

A door from the kitchen leads through to the dining room, which overlooks the front of the property and provides a separate space for more formal entertaining.

Upstairs are four bedrooms: three comfortable double bedrooms and a single bedroom, which is currently used as an office. The rear bedrooms benefit from wonderful views towards the Trossachs, with Ben Ledi prominent.

There are two shower rooms upstairs. One has been modernised and features a walk-in shower, white sanitary ware, bright white wet walling and tiled flooring. The second offers scope for updating with burgundy ceramic wall tiles, matching sanitary ware and an electric walk-in shower.

Outside, a paved patio sits immediately in front of the sun room, with steps leading up to the attractive rear garden. The garden features a good area of lawn, mature shrub borders and a path leading towards a large shed and greenhouse at the rear. On-street parking is available.

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in a highly desirable Callander location, with generous accommodation, attractive gardens and superb potential to create a modern family home while retaining its historic charm.
