Number 11 Royal Gardens is a quite exceptional and professionally extended, traditional semi-detached villa with breathtaking views to the front and superb private walled gardens to the rear.
Designed by John Allan (1877) Royal Gardens’ distinctive tall windows not only maximise light but also give the owners unending access to an unrivalled landscape; the Kings Knot, the Castle and the mountains of Highland Scotland beyond. The King's Knot was a central part of Stirling Castle’s Royal Park. It is covered in grass now, but it was originally an ornamental garden – it’s purpose was to enchant and impress visitors to the Castle; emphasising the wealth and status of the Stuart Kings.
The accommodation spans three floors and encompasses approximately 2,906 square feet. It includes an inviting entrance vestibule, a gracious reception hallway, a striking bay-windowed drawing room, a contemporary fully equipped kitchen seamlessly integrated with the dining area, and an exquisite garden room featuring a Norwegian wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors opening onto a charming private patio. Additionally, there is a high-specification wetroom and an additional reception room currently utilised as a cinema room. Ascending the original Victorian staircase, you reach the first floor boasting a splendid principal bedroom offering stunning vistas of The Kings Knot and hills beyond, along with two more spacious double bedrooms, a convenient home office, and a luxuriously appointed family bathroom. A bespoke staircase with a glass balustrade leads to the fabulous attic conversion, featuring walk-over glass, a roof lantern, and a chic en suite bathroom.
Externally, to the front, there is a gravel driveway accommodating at least four vehicles and granting access to the single garage equipped with an EV charger. However, one of the standout features of this remarkable property lies in its fully walled and exquisitely landscaped rear gardens. These gardens boast a meticulously maintained raised lawn, an expansive patio featuring a wood-burning hot tub and built-in seating, offering an ideal setting for outdoor gatherings. Furthermore, two spacious high-security Asgard sheds offer supplementary storage space.
Royal Gardens is in an established residential area, within a short walk to the centre of Stirling. The very popular Kings Park is in the immediate vicinity, as is Stirling Golf Club. As well as the excellent shopping facilities the city has to offer, there are numerous sites of historical significance such as Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. Schooling is available nearby at both primary and secondary level and the region is well served by independent schools with Fairview International Bridge of Allan, Dollar Academy and Morrison's all in the area. Stirling University, which includes the MacRobert Arts Centre, is also within easy reach. Motorway access to Glasgow (24 miles), one of the UK's most dynamic cities with outstanding shopping, excellent theatres and a thriving business district. Edinburgh (37 miles) and Perth (33 miles) are also easily accessible by motorway. Regular trains from Stirling serve Glasgow, Edinburgh, and The North for the many daily commuters. Leisure and recreational facilities in and around the city are excellent and Stirling is on the edge of some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside, including the Trossachs and Loch Lomond National Park. Stirling is the Gateway to the Highlands.
