The Old School HouseGartocharn, G83 8SB

Originally built in the 1780s as Kilmaronock Public School, The Old School House is an attractive stone-built detached home that has been imaginatively reconfigured over the years, creating a generous family home with a successful holiday-let cottage alongside.

The principal house extends to about 2,551 sq ft and offers well-balanced, flexible accommodation across two floors. From the hall, a spacious kitchen with ample cabinetry, generous work surfaces and a range cooker creates the perfect hub for family life, complemented by a bright living/dining room.

The sitting room is a particularly impressive space, with dual aspect windows drawing in natural light and doors opening directly onto the garden. At its heart, a cast-iron stove provides a welcoming focal point, making the room ideal for cosy family evenings or relaxed entertaining. Combining traditional character with comfortable scale, it serves equally well as a formal reception room or the everyday heart of the home, while the seamless connection to the garden enhances its appeal throughout the seasons.

The ground floor also includes two double bedrooms, each with en suite facilities, together with a utility room, shower room, and a useful bar/snug. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys excellent proportions and a modern en suite, complemented by a further two bedrooms and bathroom.

The Old School House is complemented by beautifully maintained private gardens and ample parking. Framed by the surrounding countryside, the grounds provide a peaceful sense of privacy while remaining conveniently close to village amenities. A standout feature is the wood-framed gazebo, which serves as a tranquil outdoor lounge. Sliding glass doors and a side entrance offer seamless access between the house and garden, enhancing the flow of indoor-outdoor living.

Set within the grounds is a charming detached cottage, currently run as a successful holiday let. Perfectly placed to take advantage of the thriving year-round visitor market of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs, it offers an excellent income stream or alternatively, further accommodation for extended family. The cottage comprises a living/dining/kitchen, double bedroom with ensuite WC and family bathroom.
