Description

Pacitti Jones is delighted to bring to the market Ballochneck Lodge, this charming traditional lodge house is positioned at the entrance to Ballochneck House, enjoying a semi-rural position surrounded by open countryside and a picturesque setting. Situated on a large plot, the lodge is enveloped by a beautiful mature garden, stunning in the springtime, and offers spacious and versatile living accommodation over one level. The property is chain free, and although it could benefit from some upgrading in areas it presents a fantastic opportunity for the new owners to put their own stamp on it. The lodge is situated on the outskirts of the scenic village of Buchlyvie, Stirlingshire, and enjoys a peaceful location. Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park and The Queen Elizabeth Forest Park are just a short drive away. Commuting to Stirling is only 14 miles and Glasgow 22 miles.

Nestled back from the roadside and accessed through the garden, the main entrance opens directly into the kitchen, the heart of this loved home. The kitchen is fitted with a range of classic styled cabinets framed by wooden worktops and has a tiled splashback wall with the sink overlooking the garden.
A breakfast bar area cleverly separates the kitchen and dining space, in the dining area there is plenty of space for a large table and chairs, the open plan layout makes this a fantastic social space for entertaining. From here, glazed doors draw you into the impressive living room with cosy open fire, this room is flooded with natural light from the triple aspect windows, a generous footprint offers scope for various furniture configurations. This room is the best spot in the house to take in the stunning views, with French doors opening out to the garden, perfect for the warmer days.

A few steps up from the dining area is the hallway which provides access for three double bedrooms, and a family bathroom. All three bedrooms are sizeable and offer ample floor space for a double bed and freestanding furniture. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden and benefits from built in wardrobe storage, bedrooms two and three are positioned to the front of the property. Completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, fitted with a cream-coloured suite comprising bath, separate shower cubicle, toilet, and his and hers sinks. There are three large cupboards in the upper area providing adequate storage. Oil fired heating and double glazing provides all year-round comfort.

Situated on a generous plot bordered by open countryside, the mature garden envelopes the property and offers a fantastic opportunity to erect a workshop, summerhouse or office in addition to the existing garage, or potentially extend the lodge with the correct consents. Although Ballochneck Lodge enjoys a peaceful semi-rural location, it is only a few minutes’ drive from a variety of good day to day amenities including primary school, cafes, pub, restaurants, and a regular bus service. Balfron High School is amongst the top ranking secondary schools, and Stirling can be easily reached which provides a further range of amenities including a varied selection of High Street retailers.
