ShandaleDunblane, Stirlingshire, FK15 0JH

Shandale sits in a commanding and beautiful countryside setting, overlooking its fields with the stunning backdrop of the Perthshire hilltops to the north, and the hills of Sheriffmuir to the south. The house was built in 1980, and is attractively situated less than two miles from the edge of Dunblane, and with excellent commuting links to Perth, Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh thanks to its convenient proximity to the A9, where there is a bus stop at the road end. The property offers excellent equestrian, or lifestyle farming potential thanks to its extensive range of stabling, and 26.7 acres of grounds and grazing.

The accommodation is all set on the ground floor, with substantial loft space above offering the potential for expansion of the living space subject to planning permission. The spacious sitting / dining room is a fantastic living area under high, timber-panelled, vaulted ceilings, and with windows on three aspects providing it with an abundance of natural light and lovely views over the garden. An open fireplace sits in the middle of the room and provides a degree of separation from the dining area and the sitting room. The open-plan kitchen / breakfast room is located in the heart of the house, and is fitted with a range of kitchen units and appliances. Situated off the kitchen are a useful pantry and a utility room with back door. The bedroom are all set around a central hallway. The principal bedroom has lovely views through windows on two aspects, an en suite bathroom, and fitted wardrobes. There are four further bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room, and two with en suite WCs. The family bathroom has a freestanding bath and a corner shower cubicle. A separate hall leading from the kitchen / breakfast room leads to the integral garage, and off it are the study, WC, cloakroom and coat cupboards with a door leading out to the courtyard.

The stabling at Shandale is situated to the rear of the house, where there are two separate blocks. Between the two, there are eight loose boxes, two feed stores and a tack room. In front of them is a spacious parking area suitable for horse boxes. There is a dog kennel with two separate runs beside it. The grazing is split into four fields, and there is a disused bothy located in one of them.

The driveway passes along the top of the field before sweeping around the front garden and up to the house where there is a spacious parking area, and access to an integral double garage. The drive continues around the front of the house, providing direct access from the stables into the field gates. Another parking area with overhead lighting, ideal for horseboxes, sits to the front of the house.

There are two garden areas at Shandale, one to the south of the house and the other to the north. Both have fabulous outlooks over the fields and the neighbouring countryside to the hills beyond. A useful, enclosed courtyard sits to the east of the house.
