Detached traditional family house with elevated views

Description

Ochilree is a charming family house, thought to date back to 1890. The house sits in an elevated position with far reaching views to the southeast over the rooftops of Glenfarg and towards the Lomond Hills of Fife, and to the northwest over neighbouring farmland.

Stone pillars off Church Brae give access to the stone steps that lead up to the front of Ochilree. The beautifully proportioned sitting and dining rooms sit to the front of the house, both with fantastic views thanks to their large bay windows. They each have decorative cornicing, presses, and open fireplaces with tiled surrounds and carved wooden mantelpieces. The family room again sits off the entrance hall and has a log burner and patio doors leading out to the side of the house. The kitchen also has doors leading out into the back garden and terrace. It is fitted with units and standard appliances including a Rangemaster (LPG). A side window offers picturesque views of the parish church spire. There is also a shower room on the ground floor.

The staircase leads up from the main hallway. At a halfway landing there is a beautiful stained glass window providing an abundance of character and light. The staircase splits with a bedroom to the rear of the house as well as a family bathroom. This has a WC, wash hand basin and bath with shower over. There are three further double bedrooms. The two front facing bedrooms have spectacular views with the Lomond Hills acting as a backdrop. There is also a study / nursery room off the landing.

The front garden of Ochilree offers a large lawned space surrounded by a handful of mature conifer trees. There is a separate side garden with terraced lawns and a variety of shrubs. Paths to each side of the house connect the front to the rear. Accessed from the kitchen is a raised wooden deck which is a lovely spot from which to enjoy the views over the neighbouring farmland. Outhouses include a coal store, garden store, wooden shed and a log store.

Location
