4 bed detached house for sale

Burnside, Strathyre, Callander, Stirlingshire FK18

A contemporary home surrounded by breath taking scenery, with separate garage and outbuilding, set within the village of Strathyre

Description
Set within the picturesque village of Strathyre, Burnside is a contemporary home built in 2009 and arranged over two floors. With four bedrooms, open-plan living space, a detached garage, a separate outbuilding, and plenty of parking, Burnside has much to offer, whether as a family home, or as an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The current owners have particularly valued the area's natural beauty and endless outdoor pursuits while raising their family here.

The house is entered through a spacious vestibule with a large storage cupboard, leading into a central hall with striking checkerboard flooring. Much of the ground floor flows openly from this space, creating a layout that feels both sociable and practical. Occupying the curved section of the house is the main sitting and dining room. Five upright windows bring light in from multiple directions, giving the room a bright and airy feel throughout the day, while still feeling cosy during colder winter months thanks to the free-standing wood-burning stove.

Tucked around the corner is the kitchen, thoughtfully designed to connect easily with the main sociable living spaces while retaining a degree of separation. In-built cupboards keep the space neat and tidy, and integrated appliances include an induction hob, two ovens, double-door fridge freezer and dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a room currently used as an office, which has also served as a walk-in pantry in the past. Alongside is a well-equipped utility room with additional built-in storage, a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, and a second sink.

The eastern side of the property has two ground-floor bedrooms, served by a contemporary bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Also on this level is a bright sunroom with windows spanning across two sides and double doors that lead out to the patio. This is a particularly versatile space, equally suited to use as a second sitting room, home office, studio or simply somewhere to enjoy the morning light.

Upstairs has recently been fitted with new Velux windows (2025), drawing in light from above, that filters down to the hall below. Two further bedrooms are positioned on either side of the landing. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the fourth bedroom, although smaller, still comfortably accommodates a double bed. Additional useful storage can be found within the eaves.

Outside, there are two detached outbuildings, a garage and a separate office or gym, both supplied with electricity. The private driveway provides plenty of parking for several vehicles. The garden is easy to maintain, with leafy borders that surround a paved patio and gravel area. A timber pergola provides a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and summer gatherings.

A footpath can be reached directly from the driveway, crossing a small wooden bridge before linking with the extensive network of walking and cycling routes that run through the surrounding national park. From the house, miles of countryside can be explored without ever needing to get in the car.

Location
Burnside enjoys an accessible setting in the picturesque village of Strathyre, with local amenities and transport links conveniently close at hand. The village shop, post office and Ember Bus service (the UK's first all-electric intercity bus network) are all within 0.2 miles of the property. Directly opposite Burnside, across the road, lies the River Balvaig, and the surrounding countryside offers excellent hill walking and climbing routes up some of the surrounding peaks, which can be easily accessed via a footpath leading directly from the property.

Strathyre lies about a mile north of Loch Lubnaig and was traditionally regarded as one of the first Highland settlements on the route north. As well as the shop and post office, the village offers a café (0.4 miles away), and is well placed for hillwalking, including Ben Ledi, as well as exploring the surrounding Highlands, Balquhidder and historic Rob Roy country.

Strathyre is connected via the A84 to Callander (9 miles), which is situated on the banks of the River Teith and with Ben Ledi as its backdrop. Callander is often described as one of Scotland’s best‐loved gateways to the Highlands. The A84, which runs through its centre, leads to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park where there is scope for every sort of outdoor activity from cycling in the Queen Elizabeth Forest, to fishing or boating on lochs Katrine and Venacher, as well as climbing local hills such as Ben Ledi, Ben Venue and Ben a’an, or renting shooting or stalking on nearby estates.

The main street of Callander offers an excellent selection of independent shops, cafés and restaurants and the town has primary and secondary schooling at McLaren High School. A number of Perthshire private schools are within 45 miles including Glenalmond College and Strathallan, as well as the Fairview International School in Bridge of Allan. There is a leisure centre with a swimming pool in Callander, as well as an 18-hole golf course.

Stirling is only about 19 miles away and is the historic heart of Scotland, with Stirling Castle, Bannockburn and the Wallace Monument just a few of the many sights to visit in the local area. Stirling is well placed for road, rail and bus connections to all the major towns in Scotland. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow airports are within easy reach and there are train stations at Stirling, Bridge of Allan and Dunblane, with regular services to both cities. Stirling has a good selection of shops including Waitrose.

Edinburgh, Glasgow and their airports are within 53 miles, and 49 miles respectively. The Scottish Citylink 978 service offers direct bus connections from Strathyre to Stirling and Edinburgh Airport.
