This charming former station master’s house, dating back to 1858, combines period character with modern comfort in a prime yet secluded position. Recently refurbished, it offers spacious and versatile accommodation, making it an ideal family home. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this unique blend of heritage and contemporary living.
Set in an elevated position, this former station master’s house is only moments from Callander’s bustling main street yet enjoys a surprising level of privacy and tranquillity. Thanks to its commanding outlook, the property offers rooftop views across to the surrounding hills. Thoughtfully modernised within the past year, this traditionally built home retains its period charm while offering all the comforts of modern living. The tasteful refurbishment has included new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, plasterwork, and stylish decor throughout, making this an attractive and ready-to-move-into property.
The accommodation is well laid out and offers a range of flexible options to suit different needs. The ground floor features two double bedrooms, one of which could easily be adapted as a home office, study, playroom, or craft room, adding versatility to the space. The heart of the home is the bright and spacious kitchen/diner, with white units, grey granite-effect worktops, and high-quality appliances, including a Bosch oven, Zanussi induction hob, and larder-style fridge freezer. The adjoining utility room provides practical storage and laundry facilities, including a Hoover washing machine, and ensures the kitchen remains clutter-free.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a formal dining room, perfect for family gatherings or entertaining guests. Across the traditional hall, the large sitting room is an inviting space, featuring a woodburner set into a slate hearth with a traditional painted wooden mantel. South-facing windows and double sliding doors open directly onto a paved patio, leading to the garden beyond.
Beyond the utility room, there is a new shower room, then the master bedroom, which benefits from a brand-new ensuite shower room, plus original shelving, and a lovely sunny, south-facing outlook.
Throughout the house, original press cupboards and shelved alcoves add character, while the period details, such as the coving and sweeping staircase, enhance the sense of history in the property.
The hallway, can be accessed from the traditional front door and storm porch. With its period-style tiling and a graceful staircase featuring an iron balustrade and wooden banister, it immediately creates a sense of arrival. Light streams in from Velux windows above, illuminating the stairwell. Upstairs, the property continues to impress, with two generously sized double bedrooms, both fitted with high-quality carpets and decorated in tasteful, delicate shades.
The family bathroom offers a relaxing space with a full-sized bath with shower over.
Outside, the property is approached via a long gravel drive, which opens out to provide ample parking. The drive leads to a large double garage with power, offering additional parking, storage or workshop potential. The garden is a particular highlight, providing a secluded and peaceful environment that is rare for such a central location. The south-facing patio, directly accessed from the sitting room, is ideal for outdoor dining and overlooks a generous area of lawn to the side. This lawn is bordered by mature shrubs and well-established planting, offering year-round interest. The garden slopes gently down to street level, where raised beds have been created for growing vegetables.
This property seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary style, creating a warm and inviting home. The location offers the best of both worlds: close proximity to shops, cafes, and amenities, while still maintaining a sense of privacy and retreat. Whether you’re looking for a spacious family home or a flexible property with room for home working, this house offers it all in one of Callander’s most desirable settings.
