CLAYMIRES is a period school conversion that scores full marks in terms of instant impact and visual appeal. Situated in a scenic spot on the outskirts of Buchlyvie, a sought after Stirlingshire village that offers easy commuting to Glasgow, Stirling and Perth, this property also lies within the catchment area for Balfron High School, which will give it added appeal with family buyers.

The grounds are particularly striking, principally the large pond at the rear originally constructed as an outdoor swimming pool, which the present owners converted with the addition of a waterfall and decking. In fact, the grounds – from the cobbled stone driveway, patio, lawns, apple trees, and woodland, to the unexpectedly delightful guest house makes this an idyllic home for children and those who like to spend time outdoors.

The house is equally attractive inside.

Downstairs are a drawing room, lounge with log-burning stove, breakfasting kitchen, conservatory with garden access, large utility and cloakroom, and a triple-aspect bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs are three further bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Impeccably presented throughout, attractive features include the fireplace and stove in the drawing room, while the lounge includes wooden window shutters and two built-in window seats. The nearby village of Buchlyvie has shops, cafés and a pub as well as a primary school. Offers over £485,000 are invited by Pacitti Jones’ Stirling office.
