5 bedroom detached villa

Tucked away in a peaceful, family-friendly cul-de-sac within the highly sought-after Barbush development in Dunblane, this stunning five-bedroom detached house offers an exceptional standard of living. Built by Cala, synonymous with quality craftsmanship, this Stewart-style property is set on a substantial corner plot. It boasts a detached triple-car garage and a large, fully enclosed south-facing garden, backing directly onto Laigh Hills Park. Surrounded by mature trees that provide a beautiful, leafy backdrop and a sense of privacy, this home is both impressive and welcoming. From its open front garden with manicured lawns and ornamental trees to its spacious and thoughtfully designed interiors, every detail has been carefully considered to create a versatile, family-oriented living space.

The house stands out with its elegant bay windows and a small balcony over the front door, which creates a covered portico leading to the internal porch. Step inside to the large atrium-style hall with engineered oak flooring and stylish glass and oak banisters, guiding the eye to the upper level. The newly fitted oak doors throughout the house, installed in May 2024, add to the sense of quality and style of this beautiful home.

The ground floor offers generous living space, beginning with the large formal sitting room, with a bay window, decorative cornicing, and a cream marble fireplace featuring a gas living flame fire.

Conveniently located nearby is a practical playroom, thoughtfully designed with a fun, striped carpet and ample space for bookshelves, toys, and seating.

Adjacent to the sitting room, the home office provides a quiet and functional workspace.

The downstairs bathroom, refurbished in 2024, features beautiful Victorian encaustic-style tiles, blending contemporary style with classic touches.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the expansive open-plan kitchen-dining-family room at the rear, which flows seamlessly onto the south-west-facing patio via bi-fold doors. With tasteful, neutral décor and practical Karndean flooring, this space is ideal for family life and entertaining. The kitchen itself is a chef’s delight, equipped with a stainless-steel Rangemaster cooker which comprises two ovens, a grill, and a five-burner induction hob, complemented by a steel and glass hood. The stylish units in a soft shade of eau-de-nil are topped with quartz worktops, and the central island offers additional workspace and yet more excellent storage. Integrated appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, a large fridge-freezer, and a wine fridge, ensuring all culinary needs are met.

Practicality continues in the utility room, where you'll find the Worcester Bosch boiler, installed in 2022, along with room for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as ample storage and access to the back garden.

Upstairs, the journey continues with a carpeted stairway featuring oak-and-glass bannisters leading to a spacious landing. Five double bedrooms, each designed to offer comfort and style, provide ample space for family and visitors.

The main bedroom is a gorgeous, spacious retreat, with a bay window, elegant décor in pale pink, a dressing area with multiple built-in wardrobes, and a stunning ensuite. The ensuite, refurbished in 2022, boasts a large walk-in shower, his-and-hers basins, a freestanding, double-ended bath, and modern stainless-steel towel rails.

The second bedroom, also overlooking the front garden, includes its own ensuite shower room, making it perfect for guests or older children.

Three additional double bedrooms overlook the rear garden, all featuring fresh décor, quality carpets, and built-in wardrobes. The family bathroom offers both a bath and a separate shower, completing the upstairs accommodation.

Storage is a significant advantage, with built-in wardrobes in every bedroom, plus a large linen cupboard upstairs, a large cupboard downstairs and additional storage options throughout this property.

Outside, the extensive back garden is a delightful space, with a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining and a large lawn area surrounded by mature shrubs and trees, perfect for a growing family to enjoy.

The triple-car garage and the monobloc driveway provide ample parking for multiple vehicles.

This outstanding property is a rare find, combining stylish living spaces with a practical layout in a prime location and must be seen to be appreciated.
