4 bedroom cottage

Tucked away along a private driveway just off the main road, Claish Farm Cottage enjoys a rare blend of peace, privacy and convenience. Set well back from the road and surrounded by open countryside, it’s hard to believe Callander’s shops, cafés and services are just minutes away. With traditional cottage charm, a flexible layout and extensive garden grounds, this is a home that can adapt to a wide range of lifestyles.

Inside, the heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living area. The lounge, dining space and kitchen flow together beautifully - brought together by neutral décor, a wood-burning stove and views out to the surrounding greenery. The kitchen is both practical and attractive, with ample worktop space, integrated storage, and a full range of appliances including an electric oven and hob. There is space for a dishwasher and washing machine, which may be available by separate negotiation. A freestanding kitchen island is also included in the sale, providing additional workspace.

Adjacent to the kitchen, a handy rear porch offers the ideal spot for kicking off muddy boots or hanging wet coats - perfect if you’ve been out walking or gardening. There’s also a useful linen cupboard tucked neatly under the stairs, adding to the home’s practical appeal.

A bright conservatory extends the living space further, offering views across the south-facing garden and a peaceful place to relax in all seasons. Whether used as a second sitting room, dining area or reading nook, it’s a truly enjoyable space.

Accommodation is arranged across two floors, with two bedrooms downstairs and two upstairs - ideal for family living, visiting guests, or single-level living as required. All four bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes and neutral décor. Upstairs, both bedrooms are fitted with two Velux windows each, flooding the rooms with natural light and offering pleasant views of the surrounding landscape.

The home features two bathrooms: a wet room with bath on the ground floor, and a separate shower room upstairs, both designed with comfort and practicality in mind.

The garden grounds are one of the standout features - almost an acre of well-tended lawns, mature trees and planting beds surround the property, creating a peaceful and private setting. There’s plenty of space for children to play, for gardening, or simply to enjoy the views and visiting wildlife. The driveway, accessed from a shared farm lane, offers excellent parking and turning space for at least eight vehicles.

Heating is provided by an oil-fired central heating system with a combi boiler. The property also benefits from a private water supply and septic tank - typical of rural homes in the area, and both well maintained.

With its quiet rural setting, flexible layout and large garden grounds, Claish Farm Cottage offers a fantastic lifestyle opportunity - whether you're dreaming of a slower pace, a weekend retreat, or a long-term family home.

What the current owners loved most:

The current owners say it’s the tranquillity and connection to nature they’ll miss the most -spotting deer in the neighbouring fields, enjoying breakfast in the conservatory, and watching the seasons change across the garden. They’ve also appreciated being able to reach the shops or a café in Callander in just a few minutes.
