4 bedroom detached house

Situated at the northern edge of Dunblane in a quiet residential location, this attractive detached property is a wonderful example of a well-designed and beautifully maintained family home. Built around 20 years ago, the house has been thoughtfully modernised and updated by its current owners, offering generous living space both inside and out.

Set on a generous corner plot, the house is surrounded on three sides by well-tended gardens. Mature shrubs and neat lawns frame the home, with two fully enclosed private garden areas – ideal for families and those who enjoy time outdoors. The main rear garden is south-facing, making the most of the sun throughout the day, and features a decked seating area accessed directly from the house – perfect for al fresco dining or a morning coffee.

To the front, a monobloc driveway provides off-street parking for two cars and leads to an integrated double garage with power and light. Entry to the house is via a small porch and then into a welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the rest of this inviting home.

To the right of the hall lies the formal dining room, a bright and elegant space overlooking the front garden. On the opposite side, a study offers an ideal home working environment, also with a peaceful garden outlook.

To the rear of the house, the main living spaces have been designed with family life in mind. The sitting room is both stylish and comfortable, with a neutral colour palette, soft carpeting, and a living flame fire set in a handsome stone surround. A charming alcove with a window adds extra character and natural light.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the spacious, modern kitchen, with high-quality fittings including two integrated Neff ovens, a five-burner Beko gas hob, and a built-in Gorenje fridge freezer and dishwasher. There is ample space for a dining table, and the room enjoys a bright aspect over the rear garden.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room – a relaxed and versatile living area perfect for informal gatherings. Flooring subtly defines each space, with ceramic tiles in the kitchen and laminate in the family room and utility. French doors open directly onto the deck and garden beyond, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow.

A practical utility room lies just off the family room and provides additional storage, space for laundry, and access to both the garage and garden. A John Lewis washing machine and Hotpoint tumble dryer will be included in the sale. A downstairs WC and an understairs cupboard complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with four double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite shower room, as does the generously sized guest bedroom. A stylish family bathroom includes both a bath and a separate shower, and a large linen cupboard provides useful storage.

In recent years, the owners have invested in a range of sustainable technologies, including solar panels, battery storage, a hybrid air source heat pump, and an EV charging point. These upgrades have significantly improved energy efficiency, with annual consumption significantly. The EPC rating is now C (80), reflecting these improvements.

What the current owners loved most

The owners particularly appreciated the peaceful setting and sunny garden, as well as the welcoming feel of the neighbourhood. They love the balance of space and comfort the house provides, and the easy access to Dunblane’s amenities and the surrounding countryside.
