Recently modernised family home in desirable Upper Dunblane.

Description
Glenbrae is a beautiful Victorian house thought to date back to 1890, set in stunning and extensive gardens. The principal reception rooms are front facing on the ground floor, with outlooks over the garden. The most impressive room in the house is the newly-created open-plan kitchen / dining / family room. This was once two separate rooms which have recently been opened up to create this wonderful, bright room. It has windows to the front and side of the house, with integrated appliances including a Bosch combi oven / microwave and electric oven, Bosch induction hob, warming drawer and dishwasher. There is also a new Esse log burner in the family area. The utility room sits to the rear of this room and is plumbed for laundry appliances, and there is also a pantry store. The sitting room sits across the entrance hall and has a large front-facing bay window, fireplace with marble hearth and surround, and traditional decorative cornicing. The adjacent home office had a door which connects the main house to the guest apartment. A WC sits off the hall.

The first floor is approached by a curving stone staircase from the entrance hall which leads up to the landing above which has a decorative ceiling arch. The principal bedroom overlooks the front garden through a west facing bay window, and a further window to the south, both with working shutters. It has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms off the landing, as well as a bathroom and a shower room. The latter was converted from a single bedroom and installed in 2024. It has a contemporary finish with twin wash hand basins, WC and walk in shower.
Outside


The stunning gardens at Glenbrae surround the house and are fully walled. The tarmac drive passes through stone pillars with wrought iron gates, sweeps through the front garden, leading up to the front of the house. There is parking to both the front and side of the house. The front garden has a band of mature and attractive evergreen woodland along the boundary, offering privacy and shelter from Glen Road. From the front of the house, steps lead down onto a generous lawn.

The rear garden is equally spacious, and as per the front, there are beautifully stocked flowerbeds and borders. There are various soft fruit bushes, and the garden trees include a particularly attractive apple tree. To the south of the house is a greenhouse, and there is a pedestrian gate onto Leewood Road. There is a range of outhouses to the rear including a recently converted gym, and a store.

Location
Glenbrae is situated in one of the most sought-after addresses in Upper Dunblane which sits about a mile from the town centre and just under a mile from the railway station. Dunblane is one of the country’s smallest cathedral cities and lies between the rugged mountain peaks of Perthshire to the north and the rich fertile Carse of Stirling to the south. The magnificent cathedral is the focal point of this charming town with a population of around 9,000 residents.

The town has a variety of local shops and convenient supermarkets as well as restaurants and pubs. It also offers good recreational facilities which include tennis, squash and bowling clubs and a golf club. Gleneagles Hotel with its leisure club and world-famous golf courses is only 14 miles away. The Dunblane Centre has a range of facilities available for all ages such as a sports hall, art studio, fitness suite, music room and a conference room.

There are three primary schools in the vicinity which feed Dunblane High School. There is also a good selection of nursery schools and private schools nearby including Ardvreck and Morrison’s Academy in Crieff and Dollar Academy. Dunblane is well placed for road and rail connections to all the major towns and cities of central Scotland.

The pivot of the motorway network is only 2 miles to the south with the M9 and M80 giving quick access to Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively. The A9 has dual carriageway all the way to Perth. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are easily accessible.
