Recently extended family house overlooking the River Devon.
Description
Milton House is an attractive family house thought to date back to the late
1800s / early 1900s. The property is nestled in the Ochil Hills and has a
beautiful southwest - facing outlook over the gardens with the River Devon at
the foot, and a picturesque hilly skyline beyond. The house has been renovated
and extended by the current owners (completed in 2023). An attractive two
story extension has transformed the property by providing it with open - plan
living space, and a new principal bedroom suite with balcony. Whilst the house
sits in a rural setting, it has excellent access links across central
Scotland.
The family / dining room on the lower ground floor is a fantastic addition to
the house. It has sliding glass doors that open into the garden and provide
views down to the river, with the hills beyond. The room is set up with
service points so that a kitchen could be installed to create an even more
outstanding open - plan space. The kitchen currently sits on this floor too,
along with a sitting room and a WC. Situated on the upper ground level of the
new extension is the principal bedroom suite. This has a dressing room and a
balcony from which the views are outstanding. A study off the bedroom has
plumbing in situ for the installation of an en suite shower room. There are
two further bedrooms on this upper ground floor, as well as a central landing
which, under the existing planning permission, could be separated off to
create a study. The front door for the original house sits between the
bedrooms leading out at street level. The top floor has a further two
bedrooms, both with dormer windows and cupboards, a bathroom and a large
store.
Wooden garden gates give access to the driveway which sweeps down past the
side of the house to the rear where there is a gravelled area for parking. The
drive continues past the house to a large garage (about 12m x 6. 5m) which has
been recently installed and sits to the side of the house. It has three large
roller shutter doors and is set up with work benches and storage.
The garden sits to the south of the house with the attractive River Devon at
the foot. The current owners have carried out extensive works on the garden to
make it more usable, and to open up the views of the river from the house.
There are a variety of mature trees providing the house with privacy from its
neighbours.
