APICTURESQUE country garden with far-reaching views across open countryside to the Trossachs is just one of many reasons to fall in love with Arnfinlay, a traditional country house set in around a third of an acre close to the small village of Arnprior, midway between Kippen and Buchlyvie – a location that offers easy commuting to both Glasgow and Stirling (the latter a 15 minute drive) and falls within the catchment area for Balfron High School.

Known locally as the “house with the beautiful views”, Arnfinlay has been substantially improved and modernised by the present owners to create a stylish but comfortable family home in a sought-after area.

The ground floor living space flows from the reception hall into a superbly well equipped dining kitchen (with quintessential Aga and utility off) and on through double doors into a charming 22ft sitting room with period open fireplace and French doors to the garden, which in turn, links to a very pretty adjoining conservatory sitting/family room with a woodburning stove and access to the garden.

A cloakroom and large dual aspect study/ fourth bedroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and the main bathroom with freestanding roll-top bath and shower– all three bedrooms have a double set of fitted wardrobes.

South-east-facing, the mature rear garden houses a greenhouse, detached garage and driveway with turning area, and includes lawn, trees, shrubs – and to one side, a wild “country garden” with a weeping willow.

Arnfinlay is for sale with Baird Lumsden in Bridge of Allan at offers over £365,000.
