Superbly located country house with an additional cottage, stunning views and an initiated planning consent which would result in one of the most striking houses in the area.
Leckie House occupies a commanding elevated position with stunning views to the west and north towards The Trossachs. The house, which is constructed of harled brick under a slate roof, benefits from planning permission (17/00201/FUL) to be altered and extended. Currently the property comprises 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms with a beautiful open plan living space adjoining a well appointed kitchen with a varnished wood finish, integrated siemens over and a 5 ring Rangemaster hob and oven, The property extends to over 7000 q ft with a spacious and convenient flow that make a tremendous space for entertaining as providing a comfortable and convenient space for modern family living. The planning consent extends this to 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms including a magnificent master suite built not the bay taking full advantage of the incredible views.
Included in the permission is a two storey extension providing additional reception rooms and bedrooms on the western elevation and a single storey extension creating a large open plan kitchen/sitting area. The permission also allows for the replacement of Whitehill Cottage which lies adjacent with garaging and stores if desired.
(The current and proposed accommodation is shown on the accompanying floor plans)
The house is approached via a tarmac drive which leads off the private estate road and sweeps through the lightly wooded gardens to a parking area adjacent to the house. The formal gardens are enclosed by a high beech hedge and are enjoyed from the south facing paved terrace which is accessed directly from both the existing drawing room, and proposed open plan kitchen/sitting room area. An enclosed all weather tennis court lies to the east of the garden.
Whitehill Cottage
Situated on the rear drive to Leckie House, Whitehill Cottage is a single storey detached bungalow built of timber clad brick under a tile roof. The accommodation comprises: sitting room, kitchen, four bedrooms and bathroom. There is an enclosed garden to the front with drying green to the rear and a wooden garage for a single car.
Surrounding the house, cottage and gardens are about 16 acres of policy fields and woodland. The fields are down to pasture with a number of specimen trees interspersed throughout. To the west of the house there is a section of broadleaved woodland which leads you down to the Leckie Burn.

Leckie is a great houses and has some of the most incredible views you can find in Stirlingshire. But the thing that excites me most is its ability to evolve further. To my mind the planning permission unveils the true potential.
