NEW TO MARKET

POSITIONED at the foot of Stirling Castle adjacent to the former Royal Deer Park within the Kings Park conservation area of Stirling, The Kings is one of the finest and most prestigious properties in the city – and just 40 minutes’ drive from Glasgow and less than an hour from Edinburgh. Given its name and regal No.1 Royal Gardens address, The Kings is an imposing villa conversion that merges beautiful original features with high-end modern additions, including an amazing twotier principal suite comprising bedroom with en suite bathroom below.

However, its other unique selling point is Garden West, an attached, two-bedroomed Victorian cottage with its own private entrance, garden and driveway with off-road parking – a ready-made annexe comprising living room, dining kitchen, and two bedrooms (one en suite) for an extended family, or holiday/letting income in an area of high demand.

Spread over two floors, the main house accommodation highlights the building’s traditional architectural features and expansive room dimensions, the reception hall leading to a formal 22ft bay-windowed lounge, drawing room/fifth bedroom (presently a snooker room), and a formal dining room which continues into a contemporary fitted kitchen and adjacent family room – the kitchen and family room both with double doors out onto a sizeable rear deck complete with hot tub, external shower, and garden beyond. Off the woodfloored family room, a rear hall continues to an exceptional 24ft split-level mezzanine bedroom with built-in storage and steps down to a visually striking ‘sunken’ en suite bathroom. This wing also houses a laundry room and bedrooms two and three (both en suite), while another staircase leads to a further bedroom and truly palatial adjoining bathroom off the first-floor landing.

Highlights in this home include an original mosaic tiled hall, intricate plasterwork, classic fireplaces, deep skirtings, original doors and traditional sash and case windows. Complementing the existing features are vertical radiators, stylish fitted/ integrated kitchen with central island/ breakfast bar, luxuriously appointed bathrooms and en suites.

Outside, The Kings has a front driveway and to the rear, a lawn and slabbed patio, although the main event is always going to be the raised deck and hot tub. Royal Gardens is a quiet residential conservation area with easy access to the city’s many wide-ranging amenities, transport links, and surrounding countryside – Stirling is, after all, renowned as the Gateway to the Highlands.
