Situated on a generous corner plot in a popular street in the village of Braco, this five-bedroom detached home offers spacious and flexible accommodation. With three bedrooms on the ground floor and two upstairs, it’s perfect for families or those looking for versatile living options. While the property requires a degree of upgrading and modernisation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity to create a personalised and contemporary family home.
This substantial five-bedroom detached house, located on a generous corner plot in a desirable street in the village of Braco, offers a wonderful opportunity for those looking to create their dream home. Although in need of upgrading and modernisation throughout, the property boasts a spacious layout, generous gardens, and fantastic potential for transformation.
Upon entering, you are greeted by a spacious and welcoming hallway, featuring an open tread staircase that leads to the first floor. The hallway provides access to most of the ground floor rooms and offers excellent storage options, setting the tone for the abundance of space available throughout the property.
The ground floor is home to a large, bright lounge that is semi open plan to the dining room. This layout is ideal for creating a contemporary, flowing living space. The lounge benefits from large windows that flood the room with natural light, enhancing the sense of space. Adjacent to the lounge, the dining room offers a pleasant area for family meals and entertaining.
The kitchen, situated next to the dining room, is another area with great potential. Currently in need of complete modernisation, it offers the opportunity to design a kitchen that perfectly suits your needs and tastes. There are no fitted appliances, allowing for a fresh start with new fixtures and fittings. Off the kitchen, a small rear hallway leads to a large cupboard housing a Worcester boiler and provides access to the rear garden.
The ground floor also includes three generous double bedrooms. Most of these bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes, providing excellent storage solutions. While they would benefit from redecorating, the room sizes are impressive, and they offer versatility for use as additional reception rooms, a home office, or guest accommodation. The family bathroom on this level is fitted with a separate shower, bath, handbasin, and WC, and while functional, it would benefit from a modern upgrade.
Moving upstairs, the property continues to offer plenty of space and potential. The two upstairs bedrooms are both generous in size and bright, providing a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas. One of these bedrooms features an ensuite shower room, complete with a bidet, handbasin, and WC.
The upstairs landing is particularly spacious and includes three large storage cupboards as well as access to the eaves, ensuring that the property has no shortage of storage space..
Outside, the property enjoys generous gardens to both the front and rear. Mainly laid to lawn and bordered by mature shrubs, the gardens offer a private and tranquil space that can be enjoyed year-round. The rear garden, in particular, provides ample space for landscaping, outdoor entertaining, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. The corner plot position enhances the sense of space and privacy, making the garden a real asset to the property.
A chipped driveway to the side of the property provides off-street parking and leads to a semi-detached single garage. This offers additional parking or storage options as required..
This property represents a fantastic opportunity to acquire a spacious family home in a popular village setting, with the added advantage of being able to upgrade and modernise to your own specifications. With its generous room sizes, excellent storage, and substantial garden, it has all the makings of a superb home.

LOCATION
The charming village of Braco sits quietly in beautiful, rolling South Perthshire countryside, a couple of miles off the A9 and on the tourist route to Crieff and Comrie. The village has a primary school, with secondary education available at Auchterarder around five miles to the northeast, Dunblane, six miles to the south, and Crieff, approximately nine miles to the north. As well as a church, community hall, playground and bowling green, the village has a general store and newsagent, which caters for everyday needs. A more recent addition to the village is a popular coffee shop and there are various popular community organisations in the village. Extensive retail, commercial and cultural facilities are available in Stirling, and Perth, and Auchterarder’s burgeoning selection of shops and cafes is nearby. Gleneagles Hotel and golf complex is a 10-minute drive away, as is the award-winning Cromlix Hotel.
The nearest railway station is in Dunblane, where all local services and amenities are readily accessible, while the city of Stirling is only a ten-minute drive to the south. The beautiful and historic City of Dunblane gains its city status from the magnificent 13th-century cathedral that dominates the local landscape. It boasts primary and secondary schools with first-class reputations, provides good leisure facilities with a challenging 18-hole golf course, numerous sports and social clubs, including the local tennis club and excellent Dunblane Youth and Sports Centre. The Riverside Restaurant, the acclaimed Tilly Tearoom, as well as the DoubleTree by Hilton Dunblane Hydro hotel, have made Dunblane an ever-popular location. With its easy access to the road and rail network covering central Scotland and beyond, this area remains highly desirable among house hunters.
