A lovely three-bedroomed detached house located in one of Dunblane’s most popular areas. Built in the early 1970s and enjoying a quiet yet central location, this lovely family home extends to around 97 square metres with accommodation over two levels. The property has been extensively upgraded within the past three years, including a new kitchen, bathrooms, oak doors, bannisters and windows, and there is planning permission in place for a two-storey extension.

The house comprises a welcoming hallway, a bright, airy lounge with a wood burner and fantastic views, a spacious kitchen diner, downstairs cloakroom, and utility. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. The property has been tastefully decorated throughout and maintained to a high standard.

The house is entered via a storm porch into the welcoming hallway which leads to the downstairs cloakroom, lounge and kitchen diner. The current owners have installed custom-built understairs drawers providing excellent storage and stylish wood panelling. The understairs cloakroom is stylishly decorated with navy blue walls, Edwardian tile-effect vinyl and a white WC and mini wash-hand basin.

The lounge overlooks the side of the property and, while it is a very cosy room with a thick, quality carpet and a wood-burning stove, it also has huge picture windows on two sides to take in the fantastic views over the rooftops of Dunblane towards the golf course and Dumyat.

The spacious kitchen diner is at the back of the house and has the same wonderful views through the side window. Upgraded in 2022, it is fitted with stylish new navy-blue units and solid wood butcher’s block worktops, and equipped with a four-burner Hotpoint induction hob, Hooever electric oven, stainless-steel extraction hood and integrated Candy dishwasher. There is also space for a free-standing larder-style fridge freezer, and plenty of room for a dining table, ideal for family meals and informal entertaining.

French doors lead to the deck and garden beyond, and a doorway opens out to the utility room, which is in the process of being upgraded, and is subject to planning.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, two of which are good-sized doubles. The third bedroom is currently serving as an office but could be used as a child’s single room or even a craft room.

The family bathroom is fitted with a white bath with rainstorm shower over, plus hand unit, white WC and wash-hand basin set on solid-wood worktop over a grey vanity, and grey towel rail. The walls are semi-tiled with tasteful grey, large-format ceramic tiles which are continued on the floor, creating an elegant finish.

Outside, there is a good-sized garden to the rear which mainly laid to lawn with borders planted with mature shrubs and productive fruit trees. There are also raised beds planted with vegetables and perennial flowers. There are also two large areas of decking, positioned to capture the sunshine throughout the day.

To the front is a monobloc driveway leading to a single garage, providing off-street parking for one car.

Warmth is provided by gas central heating powered by an Alpha boiler and there is double glazing throughout.
