2 bedroom character property

Enjoying a quiet yet convenient location close to Callander’s bustling high street, this unique property is the annexe of a large Victorian house, built around 1870. It was separated from the main house in 1949 and extends to around 131 square meters. It offers generous accommodation over one level, and retains beautiful period detail including cornicing, dados, sash windows and original wooden shutters, which will all appeal to buyers looking for a character home.

The property is accessed from Bracklinn Road via cast-iron gates which open onto a shared gravel drive and a private garden to the side and rear. The house can be entered through the formal front door via a storm porch into the elegant hallway, or, into the utility via the sun porch to the side of the building.

The accommodation comprises two sitting rooms, two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a breakfasting kitchen with a utility, and small sun porch.

The traditional sitting room enjoys lovely hill views via a bay window, and benefits from a wealth of period features, including cornicing and a picture rail, original wooden flooring, a shelved alcove and a sandstone fireplace surrounding a living flame gas fire.

A second sitting room overlooks the rear of the property, and is a generous room with a large, curved bay window, parquet flooring and a gas stove in a ceramic hearth. This room offers a level of flexibility and could be used as a dining room, family room or even an additional bedroom.

The two double bedrooms are peaceful rooms with neutral décor, complementing carpets and plenty of space for furniture.

There are two bathrooms, one of which is a traditional bathroom with a white suite comprising bath, WC and wash-hand basin. The second bathroom has a large, modern, walk-in shower with marble-style wet wall, a WC and wash-hand basin with storage under.

The kitchen overlooks the rear garden. It was recently refurbished in a charming modern cottage style with wood panelling and cream Metro tile backsplash, and fitted with cream units with butcher’s block work tops. It is equipped with a Neff induction hob with a glass hood, double AEG ovens, and larder-style fridge freezer. A breakfast bar provides space for kitchen meals.

The adjacent utility room provides additional storage and houses a Beko washing machine, and the two-year-old Worcester gas boiler which provides the heating and hot water for the house.

The property benefits from recently installed double-glazing in some windows, a new front entrance door and fresh décor in the rear bedroom.

An original semi-glazed door leads out to a south-facing sun porch and the beautiful garden with its low-maintenance mature planting and selection of strategically placed seating areas, designed to take best advantage of the sun. A paved path leads to an iron gate and the garage. The property also benefits from a turning circle in the common grass area. The stone toadstool is not included in the sale.
