Location
Duncargen is situated on the charming and peaceful residential street of St Margarets Drive, one of the most sought-after roads in Upper Dunblane. The area comprises large detached houses set on a hill with beautiful views towards the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park to the west. The house is about a mile from both the town centre and the railway station, ideal for commuting to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Dunblane is one of the country's smallest cathedral cities and lies between the rugged mountain peaks of Perthshire to the north and the rich fertile Carse of Stirling to the south.
The town has a variety of local shops and supermarkets as well as restaurants and pubs. It also offers good recreational facilities which include tennis, squash and bowling clubs and a golf club. Gleneagles Hotel with its leisure club and world-famous golf courses is only 14 miles away. The Dunblane Centre has a range of facilities available for all ages such as a sports hall, art studio, fitness suite, music room and a conference room. There are three primary schools in the vicinity which feed Dunblane High School. There is also a good selection of nursery schools and private schools nearby including Ardvreck and Morrison's Academy in Crieff and Dollar Academy.
Dunblane is well placed for road and rail connections to all the major towns and cities of central Scotland. The pivot of the motorway network is only 2 miles to the south with the M9 and M80 giving quick access to Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively. The A9 has dual carriageway all the way to Perth. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are easily accessible. The Caledonian Sleeper service direct to London stops in Dunblane.
All distances are approximate.
Description
Duncargen is an attractive, stone-built, semi-detached Victorian house, originally built in about 1895. The house has a lovely west-facing aspect overlooking the desirable and peaceful St Margarets Drive, with the hills of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park acting as a stunning backdrop.
The house has well-appointed living space set over two floors. In 2020, the ground floor was partially remodelled with the conversion of three rooms into one fantastic open plan kitchen / dining room. It features a central island with breakfast bar and solid wood surfaces, with natural stone as the surrounding countertops. Kitchen appliances include a Belling electric range cooker, and there are windows overlooking the rear garden. The utility room sits off and is plumbed for appliances with a separate WC and a back door leading out into the garden. The sitting room has a large bay window overlooking the front of the house, a log burner, decorative cornicing and a shelved alcove with cupboard below. The dining room also overlooks the front, and is currently used as a home office.
There are four double bedrooms set off the first floor landing. The principal bedroom has superb views to the west towards the hills of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs through a large bay window. It also features a shelved alcove and a decorative fireplace. Also off the landing is a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower, as well as a separate shower room.
Wrought iron gates set into a stone wall give access to Duncargen's private gravelled drive which leads up to the side of the house where there is a double garage and further off-street parking. There is an electric car charge point installed. The house has gardens to the front and rear, both with lawns and offering a range of shrubs, trees and flowerbeds. The rear garden has a patio area which is a lovely spot for outdoor entertaining. There is good storage for logs adjacent to the garage.
