UNDER OFFER Halliday Homes Collections are delighted to bring to the market, Auchengarroch, this most impressive, detached Victorian house which sits within walled garden grounds with a gravel driveway and gated entrance.

For the garden lover are the extensive wrap around, walled in, garden grounds which have featured in Scotland's Gardens Scheme. Upon entering the grounds are a fine selection of mature, deciduous and evergreen trees and a fine selection of shrubs. To the west side of the house the trees and shrubs continue to a raised terrace of lawn with steps down to the lower south facing terrace which is also laid with lawn and again a fine selection of mature trees and shrubs. Patio seating, external electric sockets and a potting shed.

Location
Auchengarroch is within walking distance of the heart of Bridge of Allan. The thriving former spa resort has a fine range of shops, cafes and restaurants, with more extensive shopping facilities being available in nearby Stirling. There is local schooling at nursery and primary level, with secondary schooling at Wallace High in neighbouring Causewayhead. The independent sector is well provided for, with Fairview International in the town itself and other independent schools in the area including Dollar and Morrison's Academy. The town also benefits from its proximity to Stirling University, many of whose sporting facilities are available to the public, as well as a local golf course and sports club. In addition, there are plentiful open spaces and woodland walks.

Bridge of Allan is well positioned for travel to all major towns and cities in central Scotland. The M9 motorway is close by, as is the A9 which gives quick access to Perth. The international airports of Glasgow and Edinburgh are within easy reach by road and the main line railway station in Bridge of Allan has regular services to both cities.
