4 bedroom semi-detached house for sale

Tucked away in a peaceful crescent minutes from the centre of Dunblane and a short walk to the Primary school, this elegant, stone-built, semi-detached Edwardian property offers a blend of classic period charm and practical modern living. Its attractive exterior, enhanced by a well-kept front garden, draws the eye immediately, while the striking painted wooden portico adds to its instant curb appeal.

As you step inside, you're welcomed by a traditional porch with beautiful period-style encaustic tiles, which lead through a semi-glazed door into a spacious and bright hallway. Natural light pours in through a beautifully tinted window halfway up the staircase, casting a warm glow across the space and highlighting the elegant staircase with its original banister and handrail.

To the right, the formal sitting room sets the tone for the property, boasting tall south-west-facing windows that flood the room with light. The original wooden floor, decorative cornicing, and beautifully restored mantelpiece with tiled hearth create a warm and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. A press cupboard adds to the room's character while providing practical storage space.

Adjacent to the sitting room, the fourth bedroom offers versatility. Currently decorated in cool blue tones with modern grey laminate flooring, this room can easily serve as an office, craft room, playroom or guest bedroom, depending on your needs. A roomy WC with Victorian-style encaustic tiles is close by under the stairs.

To the back of the house, the dining room offers potential for future owners to upgrade or modernise. A glass door leads into the bright morning room/conservatory, a peaceful space to enjoy morning coffee with garden views. Built with brick and glass, the conservatory opens directly onto the garden, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining or summer gatherings.

The kitchen, opening off the dining room, is compact yet practical, featuring pine units and modern appliances, including a Neff induction hob and oven, a Samsung larder fridge freezer, Bosch washing machine and dishwasher. While cosy, the kitchen offers all the essentials for day-to-day living, with the potential for future renovations to open it up further.

Upstairs, a bright and spacious landing leads to three bedrooms. The main bedroom, positioned at the front of the property, is a peaceful retreat with large windows, original cornicing, and a handy press cupboard, plus plenty of room for additional bedroom furniture. The second bedroom, overlooking the rear garden, has cream walls and offers a similar sense of tranquillity, while the third bedroom, a cosy single at the front, is perfect as a child’s room or a study. A family bathroom with a bath and electric shower serves the upper storey, and a linen cupboard completes the upstairs layout.

The attic is easily accessed via a concertina loft ladder and is completely floored.

Outside to the front and back, the beautifully tended gardens are a delight for the green fingered. The back garden benefits from a well-kept lawn, borders planted with mature shrubs and herbs and a lovely sheltered paved patio, screened off by wooden trellising festooned with clematis, and ideal for al fresco dining. Two sheds provide excellent storage.
