This circa 1870's stone home is a rare find for Stirling with all its beautiful original features intact.

Upstairs is the second bedroom with ensuite.

vista. Large spacious main bathroom with Roman bath and separate shower.
This property is best known locally for its breathtaking and majestic trees and long established botanic garden which is in keeping with the house style. A second driveway provides great access to the garage/workshop. The seasons are so markedly different with the deciduous trees providing a natural passive solar environment and spectacular autumn Japanese maple display. A secret, enchanting garden, with delightful surprises and special places that reveal themselves through the course of the year.
Plenty of entertaining spaces with a large tiled patio area overlooking the garden and gorgeous heritage style rotunda. Arguably situated in one of the finest two streets in Stirling and surrounded by other quality character residences.
