An entirely unique and architecturally beautiful blonde sandstone gatehouse which has been converted and extended to create a stunning, rural family villa with the added advantages of substantial gardens grounds and a picturesque, leafy setting at the entrance to Dalnair Castle Estate near Croftamie.

Dalnair Castle was constructed around 1884 by a Glasgow merchant - Thomas Brown. The estate lies near the village of Croftamie and the River Endrick which flows passed the North Western boundaries of the beautiful, mature grounds which encircle the castle from which the Estate takes its name. The castle has since been sub-divided into a selection of luxury apartments and there is on-going new-build development within the estate which include three bedroom linked villas and more substantial five-bedroom homes. As such, Dalnair Castle Estate is evolving into a superb rural community which simply had to be visited to be fully appreciated.

The home for sale is formed within the Gatehouse at the entrance to the estate. As you will see from the attached images and HD video, the building is simply breath-taking and has eye-catching features which include an ornamental turret, deep moulded timber windows and beautiful slated roof with contrasting terracotta ridge. As mentioned, the property has been sympathetically extended to create additional living space within this character home but great effort has been made to ensure that the additional element is in-keeping and indeed complimentary to the original structure. The property is set within substantial, private grounds which include; a large chipped driveway that can accommodate multiple family vehicles, expansive lawn surrounded by mature trees and paved areas surrounding the perimeter of the building. There is even a sheltered hot tub enclosure and an outbuilding that is currently been used as a utility room and wood store.

Internally this is a stunning family home which offers bright, feature-filled accommodation which will appeal to everyone from growing families to those down-sizing and wishing to escape to the countryside. The attached photographs, hd video and floorplan will provide an indication of the property's size, style and specification but this is one house that you simply have to visit in person to fully appreciate. In brief the accommodation extends to; entrance vestibule, reception hallway with corridor leading through to a beautiful Octaganol extension which contains the family kitchen, dining area and main living space. Sitting room with fireplace, two bedrooms and ground floor shower room. On the upper level there are two further bedrooms including the principal which benefits from an en-suite bathroom.

Planning permission has been approved for a bespoke designed detached cottage in the garden which would be suitable for holiday let accommodation. The plans can be found on the Stirling Council Planning Portal with the following reference 21/00381/FUL
