A classic stone villa transformed into an exceptional modern family home
Description
Am Bruach combines the charm of a traditional stone villa with the comfort and flexibility of a thoughtful modern extension, creating a home that offers generous space, natural light and an easy flow throughout. Set within mature private gardens, the property presents a classic sandstone façade with slate roofs and bay windows, giving an immediate sense of character and solidity.
Inside, the original villa features the proportions and detailing typical of the period. The living room is an inviting space with tall sash windows, decorative cornicing and a wood burning stove set within a traditional fireplace. Hardwood flooring adds warmth, and the outlook onto the gardens enhances the feeling of space. A second sitting room offers a similar blend of comfort and period charm, with another stove, soft décor and a bay window overlooking the front garden. A well fitted study, complete with built in shelving and cabinetry, provides an ideal workspace while remaining well connected to the flow of the house.
The property opens out from the traditional villa into a substantial contemporary extension, designed to introduce scale and light into the everyday living areas. The open plan kitchen, dining and sun room is a bright and versatile space, finished with pale cabinetry, generous work surfaces and large tiled flooring. A series of skylights brings additional natural light into the kitchen, while full height sliding doors in the dining area lead directly to the patio and garden, encouraging an easy indoor outdoor flow. The sun room benefits from wraparound glazing and a vaulted ceiling, creating a relaxed space that makes the most of the views across the surrounding grounds. A sizeable utility room with modern cabinetry and ample appliance space ensures the practical aspects of family life are well catered for.
Upstairs, the first floor provides four comfortable double bedrooms, all finished in neutral tones. The principal bedroom sits off the mid landing and benefits from French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony, bringing in excellent natural light and offering a pleasant outlook. This room also features a separate dressing area leading to its own en suite. A well presented family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this level.
In addition to the main accommodation, Am Bruach also benefits from a separate annex, offering highly versatile additional space. This self contained area provides flexibility for a range of uses, whether as guest accommodation, a studio, a home office suite or independent living for extended family.
Outside, the house sits within established gardens that provide privacy and attractive planting. Areas of lawn and seating spots offer opportunities to enjoy the setting, while a sweeping driveway provides ample parking. The combination of the original villa and the clean modern lines of the extension creates a home that successfully balances character with contemporary convenience.
Am Bruach offers a well rounded blend of period features and modern living, making it a comfortable and versatile family home in a peaceful Stirlingshire village setting.
Location
Am Bruach is situated on Fore Road within the highly sought after conservation village of Kippen, one of Stirlingshire’s most desirable rural communities. Nestled on the edge of the Trossachs, the village enjoys an elevated position with far reaching views over rolling countryside towards the Gargunnock Hills and the Fintry Fells. Kippen offers an attractive blend of traditional charm and modern convenience, with a thriving local community and an excellent range of day to day amenities.
The village is well served by two popular gastro pubs, a well stocked village shop, café, butcher, doctor’s surgery and a reputable primary school, while the wider amenities of Stirling, Dunblane and Bridge of Allan are all within easy reach. Secondary schooling is available at Balfron High School or the highly regarded Dollar Academy.
Kippen is ideally placed for commuting across central Scotland. Stirling lies approximately 10 miles to the east, providing national rail links, extensive shopping and leisure facilities, and swift access to the M9 and M80 motorways for travel to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth. Glasgow Airport is about 35 miles away.
The surrounding area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and offers a wealth of outdoor pursuits, including walking, hill climbing, cycling and riding, with the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park easily accessible. Numerous golf courses, country parks and historic landmarks further enhance the appeal of the area.
