Spectacular Edwardian family home, fully renovated and finished to an exceptionally high standard.
Tanglin is an exceptionally attractive Edwardian family house built in 1908, and situated in a prominent yet peaceful position on arguably Dunblane's most desirable residential street, The Crescent. Since 2023, the house has undergone a remarkable renovation, which has transformed the living space with a contemporary and very high specification of finish, whilst ensuring that key elements of the Edwardian character have been retained. Notable improvements include a new kitchen and pantry / utility with Neptune cabinetry, fully upgraded bathrooms with Fired Earth tiling and fittings by the Cast Iron Bath Company, an upgraded heating system, a significant overhaul of the roof, re-pointing to masonry and chimney stacks, new sash windows, new tarmac driveway, and a re-orientated entrance porch to enhance the frontage. Further to this, a substantial new outbuilding measuring over 1,200 sq ft has been constructed to the rear of the house, offering two garages with a central hall, and additional space above, currently subdivided into two spacious rooms but offering a range of potential uses.
Tanglin's ground floor accommodation is configured around a beautiful central entrance hall with original parquet flooring. The spectacular kitchen / dining / family room runs the full depth of the house, and is flooded with natural light thanks to its windows overlooking the gardens, in particular the large bay window to the front. The dining area sits in the centre with a fireplace, and the adjacent family area overlooks the front and garden through the bay window. The kitchen is fitted with a central island incorporating a breakfast bar. High specification appliances including the Sub Zero fridge freezer and the Wolf range cooker are available separately.
The beautifully proportioned sitting room has a large window overlooking the front garden, extensive bespoke backlit shelving and cabinetry, and a traditional press. The adjacent home office has a door leading out to the side garden, and an original fireplace. Situated off a secondary hall to the rear is a further study, WC and store room. Beyond the kitchen to the rear of the house is the spacious, open plan utility room / pantry. The utility area has a back door to the rear garden, an LG washing machine and separate LG dryer, a laundry chute from the first floor, a sink, and an enclosed shower beside the back door, which is a part-glazed, stable-style door. The pantry area has a range of Neptune units with worktops, an integrated fridge freezer, and a double Belfast sink, as well as a further stable-style door leading out to the side of the house where the outdoor kitchen is located.
There are five, generously proportioned bedrooms on the first floor. Two of them sit off a corridor which leads off from a halfway landing on the main staircase. One has a dressing room, and the other has a fitted wardrobe. They share a bathroom which has a bath, separate shower cubicle and twin wash basins. The principal bedroom suite is superb. It sits off the main landing with a large east-facing bay window providing it with an abundance of natural light, and lovely views. A door leads through to the en suite dressing room with custom made storage, and the en suite shower room beyond it. There are two further double bedrooms off the landing, and a second bathroom.
The impressive outbuilding to the rear of Tanglin was completed in 2025. The ground level comprises two separate garages situated either side of an entrance hall. One of the garages is fitted with a utility area at the rear to allow it to be used as a workshop. A staircase from the hall leads up to two spacious rooms above, currently an open workroom / studio and an office with dormer windows to the front and rear. Subject to planning consent, these rooms could be repurposed as overflow accommodation to the house with plumbing already in situ for the addition of a shower room. It has its own independent mains gas boiler.
The gardens at Tanglin are beautifully mature and well-presented, extending to about 0.57 acres in all. To the side of the house is a partially enclosed terrace with outdoor kitchen underneath a newly constructed pergola under a pitched slate roof. The Grillo cooking appliances are available by separate negotiation. Stone steps lead into the garden beyond, which offers a spacious lawn at its heart and is surrounded by mature trees for shelter and privacy. A tarmac drive sweeps through the front garden before splitting to both the front of the house where there is parking, and to the side of the house leading to the garaging and further space for parking.
