NEW TO MARKET

BRENTHAM Park House is a landmark building in the city of Stirling, built in 1871 for Robert Smith, the owner of the largest tweed mill in Scotland at the time. Converted into apartments in the 1940s and upgraded in the late 1980s, this instantly recognisable baronial building has B-listed status and is officially described as a ‘High Victorian curiosity’ owing to its eclectic features.

These include corbelled turrets, balustraded parapet, semi-octagonal entrance tower, conical roofs, a truncated conservatory with an arched roof, while inside, an amazing central cupola with starshaped glazing dominates the communal staircase.

The building’s elevated setting on Brentham Crescent, with views towards the Ochil Hills, gives the top floor apartments an added dimension – and by co-incidence, both the three-bedroomed top left and fourbedroomed top right apartments are on the market separately with Aberdein Considine’s local office.

Spanning over 1,800 sq ft, the top left apartment retains many fine traditional features, not least high ceilings and spacious, beautifully proportioned rooms – three of which incorporate circular turrets – while one also has a stone balcony. Off the apartment’s L-shaped reception hall is a re-fitted dining kitchen with underfloor heating, contemporary units, integrated appliances, quartz work surfaces and integrated mood lighting.

The adjoining 24ft bay-windowed living room features an original marble fireplace and a turret utilised as a drinks cupboard with a view, while the supersized, fully tiled family bathroom has been re-fitted to an exceptional specification – underfloor heating, free-standing bath, separate shower, and integrated sound system.

The 23ft principal bedroom has an original feature fireplace, built-in storage, and a bay window to maximise the views, while bedrooms two and three both have circular turrets – one also has a statement fireplace, while the bedroom has a turret and stone balcony. To the rear of the building are expansive communal and private garden grounds, which for this apartment, provides a sizable grass area with trees, shrubs, greenhouse, storage (ideal for garden equipment and bikes) and a newly built patio.

Immaculately presented throughout, offers over £330,000 are invited (the neighbouring four-bedroomed apartment is priced at offers over £325,000) by Aberdein Considine in Stirling.
