Beautiful steading house with stunning views and excellent commuting links to Edinburgh.
The Byres sits in a superb position within an attractive steading conversion created in 2009 by The Good House Company, a renowned local business. The elevated setting allows for spectacular views to the east towards Benarty Hill and Loch Ore, and to the north towards Loch Leven and the Lomond Hills beyond.
The family house has well-appointed and flexible accommodation set over three floors, and a detached double garage with home office / studio above. The kitchen / dining room sits in the heart of the house and features a spacious central island, natural stone surfaces and appliances including a Falcon range cooker, Leibherr wine cooler and Neff fridge freezer, microwave and dishwasher. Steps lead up to the sitting room which offers the best views in the house over the surrounding countryside, and has a log burning stove. Stairs from here lead down to the family room on the lower ground floor. This could be a fifth bedroom if desired and has patio doors to the garden, as well as an understairs cupboard which houses the hot water tank.
A corridor off the entrance hall leads to two double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room with underfloor heating. The other features a glazed door to the garden which offers flexible use for the room. There is also a utility room which is plumbed for laundry appliances. The principal bedroom sits on the first floor and has stunning easterly views to Benarty Hill and Loch Ore. It has an en suite dressing room with wardrobes and shelving, and a shower room with underfloor heating and Porcelanosa fittings including double wash hand basins. There is a further double bedroom with fitted wardrobe and wonderful views of Benarty Hill and Loch Ore. The family bathroom was upgraded in 2023 with Roper Rhodes fittings including a bath with shower attachment and a basin set into a vanity unit with storage cabinets.
The double garage has electric doors and is alarmed. A staircase leads up to the room above which is a home office / studio and views to Loch Leven. There is fibre to the property with a wired connection to the garage. There is a useful store room with separate cupboard below. The manageable garden wraps around the front and both sides of the house and is surrounded by a stone wall. There is a tarmac parking area in front of the garage. The plot size extends to about 0.28 acres in all.
