Smart & Co
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Ochill Hills, the hillfoot town of Alva enjoys an excellent location only eight miles from Stirling. With its easy access to the main motorway network and a railway station only three miles away in the main town of Alloa which provides links to Stirling and beyond, this is a fantastic place in which to base yourself to enjoy the many beautiful treasures that Scotland has to offer.
So, as a tourist, what better place to base your holiday – The Boll offers self-contained luxury catering for groups of almost any size with private parking on site, walking distance to the shops, bars and amenities of the town centre but being on the edge of the town with breath-taking rural views across open fields to Stirling Castle and The Wallace Monument.
And as a place to live, The Boll is exceptional: this stunning home set within three and a half acres of landscaped grounds with its own duck-pond really is a gem. With all the local amenities of a small town just a short walk away and the bustling city of Stirling nearby, there is no shortage of things to do. An excellent choice of schooling is also available with primary and secondary schools in Alva and the renowned Dollar Academy and Beaconhurst less than seven miles away.
The current owner designed the main house and the five holiday rental cottages to suit a modern, busy, sociable lifestyle to ensure that the cottages offer the best combination of providing everything customers would want whilst being efficient to run and maintain. They have continually reinvested in the properties to ensure they are maintained to the highest order and have just replaced and renewed kitchens, boilers and carpets.
The property and business is available as a going concern with repeat bookings and scope to add further value. The land has planning permission for another six holiday units and the furnishings are available by negotiation.
