High Garchell, Buchlyvie, Stirling, Stirlingshire, FK8

Delightful detached modern country house with stunning views.

Description

High Garchell is a substantial and charming country house in excellent order. Thought to date from the mid 19th century, the present owners have made some significant improvements which include the latest addition of the orangery which is a wonderful space to sit and enjoy the beautiful rural outlook.

The property offers over 4,300 sq ft of flexible family accommodation over two floors and many of the rooms have fantastic panoramic views over the surrounding countryside

A vestibule leads to a substantial reception hall which is large enough to accommodate a dining table. This bright and airy space has French doors to the patio, and off the reception hall are the kitchen, the drawing room, dining room, WC, two bedrooms, study/bedroom 5 and a bathroom.

The drawing room has double doors and twin aspects over the rolling Stirlingshire countryside towards the hills, while a smaller comfortable sitting room has a fireplace with inset wood burning stove. The kitchen is filled with natural light thanks to its multiple windows, French doors and pale floor and walls, and is well fitted with wall and floor mounted units, a breakfast bar and four oven cream AGA along with other appliances. Perfect for modern family living, the kitchen is open plan with an informal dining area and large sitting area with a large log burner and French doors out to the patio. Beyond the sitting room is the boot room, utility space and double garage.

On the ground floor there are two double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. There is also a home office or fifth bedroom. The orangery is a lovely space with wood flooring and garden views.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and en suite and there is also a further large double bedroom on this level.

Outside, High Garchell’s grounds extend to some 5 acres and back onto fields on all sides, creating a wonderfully scenic and secluded setting with woodland and hills beyond. A track leads across neighbouring fields to a substantial gravel sweep with plenty of space for several cars. The more formal areas of the garden have beautifully manicured lawns and well stocked borders. There is a large paved patio to the rear which can also be accessed from the sitting room, the orangery and the boot room

The village is about an hour’s drive from both Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Stirling, designated a city, was the seat of the Kings of Scotland in the Middle Ages and its historic castle sits high above the former town. The present-day city provides a full range of shops, schools and services including a cinema and a sports centre with swimming pool. Glasgow (24 miles) is one of the UK’s most fashionable cities with outstanding shopping, excellent theatres and a thriving business district.
