    About this property

    • Beechville is an attractive Victorian villa set back from Birkhill Road and nestled in stunning gardens and grounds extending to almost half an acre. Wrought-iron gates set on stone pillars give access to the gravelled driveway which sweeps through the front gardens and up to the parking area at the front of the house. It also continues past the side of the house and around to the back where there is a double garage / workshop.

      The front door sits under a slate roofed veranda and opens into the vestibule, which has doors to a cloakroom as well as into the main entrance hall. The elegant front-facing drawing and dining rooms sit off here, overlooking the front garden. The drawing room, in particular, has wonderful proportions, a large bay window, ornate cornicing, wooden parquet flooring, a shelved recess with cabinet and a log burning stove. The dining room features the same cornicework and a fireplace with marble mantelpiece. Also off the main hall is the fourth bedroom, which could also be a sitting room. The kitchen / breakfast room sits beyond and has patio doors leading out to a large area of decking at the side of the house. There is a south facing window to the rear garden. Integrated appliances include a small fridge, an electric hob and oven. There is a recent Rayburn two oven range and log burner in the breakfast area. The utility room sits in the corner with original twin Belfast sinks and plumbing for laundry appliances.
      A former hayloft was replaced with a striking contemporary design in 2002. This light and airy living space incorporates a garden room / study overlooked by a mezzanine gallery. There is also an additional shower room on this level. This area features exposed steel beams, and a full height, south facing glass wall overlooking the rear garden, and a door leading out onto the terrace.

      The main staircase leads up from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, with the family bathroom situated off a mid-landing. Three spacious double bedrooms sit off the main landing. The two front-facing bedrooms have lovely views towards the hills of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.

      The mature gardens at Beechville are spectacular, and extend to about 0.48 acres. The lawned front garden has a lovely acer and is separated from the road by a stone wall and hedging. Stone steps from the south-facing terrace lead down into the beautiful rear gardens. These are enclosed by a high stone wall and feature an upper lawned terrace which has a Hartley Botanic Victorian Villa Glasshouse with water and electricity, built in 2006. Stone paths lead through the different sections of lawn and stocked beds with trees and shrubbery. There are two walnut and two apple trees, plumb and pear trees and soft fruit areas. A garden shed sits at the foot of the garden. The large double garage / workshop and parking area are at the rear of the house.
