Beautiful Victorian family home just outside Callander with river views.
Pass House is distinctive late Victorian villa with a stunning riverside setting.
Accessed via a traditional vestibule, the entrance opens into a generously proportioned entrance hall, flooded with natural light from an impressive central skylight. Rich in period detail, the hallway displays original half-height wood panelling and ornate ceiling cornicing, and extends the full length of the house. To the right of the hallway lies the formal drawing room, featuring beautiful floor-to-ceiling oak panelling and a bay window offering uninterrupted views across the River Leny and the surrounding woodland. Adjacent sits bedroom 2, a spacious room with a north-facing bay window and a private WC. Further along the hallway is bedroom 1, also possessing a north-facing view and complemented by a well-appointed en suite bathroom with dual access. A large family shower room is also accessed from the main hallway. Opposite lies the sitting room which is currently arranged as two separate spaces. This room displays a wealth of character, including detailed cornicing and large windows framing views of the river. Next to the sitting room sits the formal dining room, which has a beautiful and distinctive curved window bay and wood panelling filling the room with light and character. A secondary hallway leads from the dining room and hallway to the kitchen. The kitchen is a spacious and functional room, featuring a tasteful fireplace and access to a utility room, larder, WC, traditional coal store and laundry room. A secondary staircase also connects this area to the first floor.
The main staircase leads from the entrance hall and climbs the tower, providing access to the first floor and also to an additional bedroom and roof terrace, further up the tower. On the first floor sits bedroom 3 along with a substantial games room with fireplace and access to extensive attic storage. This level also includes a guest kitchen, bathroom, and additional storage areas. A rear corridor connects to a landing that allows access to bedrooms 4 and 5 - both rooms are filled with natural light and retain an abundance of original character. This landing also provides access to a large linen store and the back staircase down the kitchen.
Pass House is set within about an acre and a half of beautiful gardens (which have previously been open to the public under Scotland's Gardens Scheme) and mature grounds and has its own private bridge across the river. A generous gravel courtyard provides ample parking, while stone pathways meander through lawns, established flowerbeds, and wooded areas. There is also a potting shed, two external stores ideal for outdoor storage. There is also a single garage which can be usefully accessed from inside the house.
