A home you can’t look away from

APTLY named, The Look Out is a visually striking, architect designed home with an inverted layout that takes full advantage of views over the neighbouring countryside to the Ochil Hills and beyond in Torwood, a picturesque village setting in Central Scotland just two miles from Larbert and four miles from Falkirk.

Designed by Arka Architects and built by Ochilview Development using industry leading techniques and materials, this twostorey, cantilevered eco property on Glen Road offers buyers a statement home with an A-rated EPC. It also has an added bonus of a self-contained one-bedroomed annexe with separate access above the detached double garage.

Triple glazing, air source underfloor heating throughout, aluminium roof, outdoor terraces, Poggen Pohl kitchen, floating staircase with solid oak treads, electric gated entrance… the list of high-end features is impressive, as is the space in this minimalist, 2670 sq ft home. The four main bedrooms are located off the reception hall on the ground floor level – highlights here include the floating staircase and exposed brick feature wall – alongside a family bathroom, boot room and adjoining utility. Three of the bedrooms have luxuriously appointed en suites and built-in storage – the principal bedroom also has a full wall of built-in wardrobes.

Upstairs, a south-facing living room - with open views to the Ochils and full height sliding doors onto a large front terrace – flows into an open plan, state of the art fitted /integrated kitchen with central island and adjacent dining area. The latter also has full-height door access to the terrace,

while the kitchen has sliding doors onto a rear balcony. The first floor also houses a cloakroom, den/fifth bedroom, and large study/office.

The Look Out is complemented by deceptively spacious garden grounds incorporating a sizable lawned area with feature planters and up-lighting, paved patio, outhouse/store – and to the front and rear, ample parking. There is also a cleverly designed car port and detached double garage, the latter housing an upper-level apartment comprising open plan living/ kitchen/dining area, bedroom, and shower room – a self-contained abode suitable as a granny flat, office space, games room or gym.

Torwood is a highly desirable location within easy reach of amenities in nearby Larbert. Closer to home, The Look Out is within walking distance of Torwood Garden Centre, Torwood Castle, less well-known Tappoch Broch – and the even harder to find Torwood Blue Pool – a mysterious manmade circular pool filled with remarkably blue water, which locals in the know have swum in for generations.
