Semi detached villa for sale

An exceptional high-end development opportunity with full planning permission and building warrant approval awaits in the prime location of Lochearnhead, an area renowned for its striking natural beauty on the western shores of Loch Earn.

The current owners, together with their architect, have created an impressive redesign worthy of Grand Designs. The proposed floor plan and CGI images showcase the finished article and its superb potential.

The plans include the extension and change of use of the existing buildings.

The main building will be converted into a superb three-bedroom home, featuring two high-specification bathrooms, lovely 5m high vaulted lounge with fireplace, a mezzanine floor, and a new extension that accommodates the impressive fitted kitchen, dining room, and snug. A covered terrace is situated at the gable end. The main building's accommodation is 146 sqm, with an additional 12 sqm of covered terrace area. The dining hall will be extended and converted into a self-contained one-bedroom dwelling annex of 48 sqm with outside terraces.

Externally, the property boasts front gardens and spacious private garden grounds at the rear. The size and position of the plot are undoubtedly among its main selling features. Once complete, the site will also include several landscaped terraces, an external store, three parking spaces, and space for a workshop and gatehouse garage.
