Set amidst the peaceful countryside on the outskirts of Balfron Station, Balwill is a charming four-bedroom detached family home set within approximately 1 acre of garden ground, offering an exceptional blend of character, space and versatility.

The ground floor opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to the main living areas. A magnificent lounge provides a superb space for relaxing and entertaining, while a separate sitting room offers flexibility as a snug, family room or home office. The spacious kitchen is well positioned alongside the dining room, which flows seamlessly into a stunning family room enjoying lovely views across the surrounding gardens and countryside.

Also on the ground floor is a generously proportioned double bedroom with en-suite shower room, ideal for guests, older family members or multi-generational living. A utility room, laundry room and separate WC further enhance the practicality of the home. Upstairs, there are three further well-proportioned bedrooms, including the impressive master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and private en-suite bathroom with separate shower, while a stylish family shower room serves the remaining bedrooms.

Externally, Balwill is equally impressive, with generous garden grounds and a delightful garden room complete with wood burning stove, power and internet connection, making it ideal as a home office, studio or peaceful retreat. Adjacent to the house is a substantial stable block comprising three stables, perfect for equestrian use or versatile storage.

Further land extending to approximately 4.5 acres is included with the sale and benefits from a timber field shelter, offering excellent space for grazing, leisure or lifestyle use. Balfron Station is a highly desirable location, providing a peaceful rural setting while remaining convenient for commuting to Stirling, Glasgow and beyond. Early viewing is highly recommended.
