Flat for sale in Ardleighton Court, Dunblane FK15

Located just off the Perth Road, this lovely, bright, first-floor flat boasts a spacious sitting room with a bay window and a dining area, a modern kitchen, two good-sized double bedrooms, one ensuite, a family bathroom, plus a utility room and cloakroom.

The property is accessed via a secure door-entry system and either up a well-kept staircase or by the use of a lift. The flat is entered into a carpeted corridor which leads to all the flat’s accommodation with the sitting room and main bedroom at the end.

The impressively spacious sitting room overlooks the communal gardens at the rear of the property and has lovely view up to tree-lined Holme Hill. A feature electric fire set in a marble fireplace provides a lovely focal point as well as a cosy touch, as do the gloriously thick carpets. The sitting room benefits from a substantial dining area, creating an excellent space for entertaining or family meals. This dining area was created by removing a wall and incorporating the third bedroom, presenting an option for any future buyers to reinstate the wall and re-create the extra bedroom, subject to the usual permissions.

Beside the sitting room, the main bedroom is bright and airy and benefits from full-length windows and a Juliet balcony, a double built-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room, with a large cubicle with mains shower, cream wash-hand basin and vanity plus a WC with a pine lid.

The second bedroom faces the side of the building and also benefits from neutral décor, carpets and a built-in wardrobe.

The family bathroom is beside this bedroom and benefits from a cream suite comprising a bath with hand shower, WC and wash-hand basin.

The kitchen is a well appointed room with plenty of space for a kitchen table, ideal for informal meals. It benefits from practical laminate flooring and is fitted with a good range of textured wood-effect units with grey granite worktops. It comes equipped with an array of quality appliances, including a Bosch oven, a Siemens four-burner induction hob, larder-style fridge-freezer, and dishwasher.

A Bosch washer-dryer can be found in the utility room, with space for another laundry appliance. The room is equipped with a range of shelves, and accessed via the large cloakroom, which has plenty of hanging and alternative storage space.

Outside, the communal grounds are free to be used by residents and their guests, and each flat comes with an allocated parking space and visitors’ parking. The maintenance of the common parts and lift is covered by a quarterly fee that is currently roughly £700.
