Family house in extensive grounds, and spectacular elevated views over Stirling on the desirable Kenilworth Road.
** CLOSING DATE FRIDAY 2ND OCTOBER - 12 NOON**
38 Kenilworth Road, known as Broadacre, occupies an outstanding elevated position on one of Central Scotland's most coveted residential addresses. Enjoying a sought-after south-westerly aspect, the property commands spectacular panoramic views across Stirling's rooftops, taking in Stirling Castle and the Gargunnock Hills beyond. Set within beautifully established grounds extending to approximately 0.84 acres, Broadacre was constructed in the 1950s in an attractive and characterful style and now presents a rare opportunity to modernise and create an exceptional family home in a prime setting.
The attractive reception rooms are arranged off a welcoming entrance hall and enjoy delightful views over the gardens. The generous sitting room is particularly impressive, featuring large south-westerly facing windows, a fireplace with stone-tiled surround and mantel, and direct access to the terrace. Adjacent, the dining room occupies a central position within the home and benefits from doors opening onto the patio and gardens beyond, as well as a connecting door to the breakfast area and kitchen. A side corridor, accessed through an archway from the entrance hall, leads to a comfortable snug which could equally serve as a ground-floor bedroom if required.
The kitchen is open plan to the adjoining breakfast area and enjoys attractive views across the principal gardens. Fitted with a range of units and integrated appliances, it also benefits from a useful larder. A secondary hallway leads to the rear door and garage, with a range of practical ancillary rooms including a utility room with double Belfast sink, pantry, coal cellar and WC. A boot room and separate WC are conveniently positioned off the main entrance hall.
An attractive timber staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first-floor landing, where double doors open onto a balcony overlooking the front gardens. There are five well-proportioned double bedrooms, all enjoying the property's superb south-westerly aspect and far-reaching views across the gardens towards Stirling. Each benefits from fitted wardrobes. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive room, filled with natural light through large windows on three elevations. Two family bathrooms, one incorporating a separate shower cubicle, together with a separate WC and linen cupboard, complete the accommodation.
Broadacre is approached via a gravel driveway from Kenilworth Road, passing through stone pillars with wrought-iron gates and beneath a mature weeping willow before arriving at a generous gravelled parking area to the front of the house. The driveway continues to the garage at the side of the property. A separate pedestrian gate is set within the stone boundary wall, while four mature flowering cherry trees provide an attractive degree of privacy and shelter from the road. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by well-stocked flower borders.
Occupying a central position within its grounds, the house enjoys extensive gardens to both the front and rear. A greenhouse adjoins the rear of the garage, while the principal rear garden is centred around a broad lawn enclosed by mature trees and shrubs, with a stone wall marking the south-western boundary. From both the garden and house, the views over Stirling, towards Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument, are simply outstanding. A raised terrace with attractive stone balustrading is accessed directly from both the sitting and dining rooms, with steps descending to a lower paved seating area. Two further sheltered terraces are positioned within the gardens, providing idyllic spots to enjoy both morning and evening sunshine.
