Description
Mill Lodge is an outstanding, contemporary family house set in the beautiful
Stirlingshire countryside. The house was built in 2013, but in 2021 it was
extended to significantly increase the size of the living space, as part of an
outstanding and extensive upgrade by the current owners. The house sits within
its own gardens which extend to over an acre, and there are about 9. 5 acres of
grazing paddocks to the north of the house. The total acreage at the property
is about 10. 6 acres.
The front door opens into the spacious and bright entrance hall with
attractive parquet lvt flooring, off which the principal ground floor living
rooms are situated. The kitchen / breakfast room has doors out onto the south
facing terrace, a double height vaulted ceiling and a Contura log burner. It
is a bespoke, hand crafted, Steven Burgess kitchen comprising solid oak units
with granite surfaces and integrated appliances including a Samsung American
style fridge freezer, Amica wine fridge and Kenwood electric range cooker. To
the side is a utility room with pantry, and a sliding door opens into the boot
room which has store cupboards and a back door.
The south facing dining room has a Morso wood burning stove and patio doors
into the front garden and is approached by part glazed double doors from the
entrance hall. The family room and sitting room overlook the principal garden
to the rear of the house, with views over the paddocks and neighbouring
countryside. The sitting room has doors leading out and a Stovax log burner.
There is also a bedroom and WC on the ground floor.
The principal bedroom has a Juliet balcony with far reaching views towards the
Trossachs, and a range of fitted wardrobes. Its en suite shower room has
Crosswater fittings, porcelain tiles, and a Lusso stone floating vanity unit
with twin basins. There are a further three double bedrooms, one of which has
an en suite shower room, and a family bathroom with both a bath and a separate
shower. A study area sits off the landing.
Gardens and grounds
The gravelled driveway from Rossburn Lane passes through a stone walled
entrance and leads through the south facing front gardens up to the house
where there is an extensive gravelled parking area.
The front gardens are fully lawned, south facing, and run alongside the
driveway up to the house. There is an extensive grassed area to the side which
is overlooked by a timber decked terrace. This has a ramp leading up to it,
and can be accessed by doors from the kitchen and dining room.
The rear garden is fully enclosed by fencing, with two sets of wooden gates
allowing for vehicular access into the paddocks beyond. Again, these are fully
lawned and overlooked by a paved patio area directly outside the sitting room.
There is also a dedicated play area for children. To the side of the house is
a timber - built garden shed with log store.
