OFFER AGREED AT CLOSING DATE The Cornmill in Kippen, winner of The Herald Property Award for Conversion of the Year in 2009, is a breath-taking detached family home creatively designed by McEachern Architects.
Set in a desirable position in Kippen, the property has stunning picturesque views across the Carse of Stirling directly to Ben Lomond and Ben Ledi. The Cornmill lies within an impressive mature plot, with gardens wrapping around front, side and rear elevations, creating extremely private enclosed family gardens with the Carse of Stirling providing a wonderfully dramatic backdrop.

It offers bright, airy, versatile accommodation, equally suited to growing family or a professional couple. The ground floor accommodation comprises: broad dining kitchen with central island, Clive Christian cabinets and drawers and Miele white goods.

Further ground floor accommodation at the other end of the property is a generous double bedroom currently styled and used as a winter living room or family snug, with an Aga wood burning stove; bathroom including a shower and a well-equipped utility room.

Stairs lead to the upper level where there are three generous double bedrooms, two of these with en-suite bathrooms, and a single bedroom with built-in walk-in wardrobe, currently styled and used as a dressing room. Two of the double bedrooms offer extensive built-in wardrobe and cupboard space. A large light-filled main family bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation.
