A handsome Edwardian family house with
large garden and views to the Ochil and
Lomond Hills.



Dating from about 1904, Butterwell House is a
handsome Edwardian property constructed of red sand stone beneath a pitched slate roof. While the house is perfectly suited for family life, the grand entrance hall, large reception rooms and double doors that open from the drawing room to the dining room, also make it
ideal for entertaining on a grand scale. Timber panelled doors, exposed timber floors, decorative floor tiles and fireplaces are amongst some of the original features that characterise the house. The house has been rewired,
numerous double glazed sash and case windows have been installed and new bathrooms have been fitted on the first floor.
