About
The property occupies an enviable end-of-row position where Livingstone Avenue meets Murdiston, set back from the street behind a tall, well-established beech hedge that provides a genuine sense of privacy.
A well-proportioned, detached three-bedroom bungalow, it sits in a generous wraparound plot and is solidly built and thoughtfully laid out throughout, offering great potential to modernise.
The front garden is planted with mature rhododendrons, azaleas and ornamental trees, a riot of colour in spring and early summer.
Steps lead down from the street to a spacious glazed front porch, a welcoming first impression that lets in plenty of light.
Inside, the L-shaped entrance hall is notably generous for a bungalow of this era, airy, well-proportioned, and fitted with three integrated cupboards, including one housing the Vaillant boiler.
All principal rooms lead off the hall, giving the layout a logical, easy flow.
To the right of the front door, the lounge is a good-sized, relaxed room centred on an electric living-flame fire set within a handsome wood surround.
A large picture window frames views of the front garden, and there is ample space for comfortable sofas and everyday living.
Behind the lounge, running across the rear of the house, is the kitchen dining room, and it is the standout space in the property.
South-facing throughout, it is flooded with natural light for much of the day.
The dining area is well-proportioned, with two built-in cupboards (one housing the hot water tank, one currently used as a linen store) and plenty of space for a generous family table.
Double sliding doors open directly onto the enclosed rear garden, making this an easy, relaxed room for everyday life.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical u-shape, with a counter separating it from the dining area and a small breakfast bar on the adjacent wall.
A good range of wooden units with laminate worktops is complemented by three full-height larder cupboards, providing more storage than is typical at this level.
Fitted appliances (an electric cooker, washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge-freezer) are included. A back door from the kitchen gives direct access to the driveway and garage.
Between the kitchen dining room and the sleeping accommodation, the shower room has been partially updated and offers a practical base for further improvement.
The centrepiece is a large double walk-in shower fitted with wetwall panelling, a sensible, low-maintenance choice. Vinyl flooring completes the room.
The main bedroom faces the front of the house and is a good-sized double, neutrally decorated and fitted with integrated wardrobe storage.
It benefits from a private door to the WC, which Jack-and-Jills through to the hallway, a practical arrangement that gives the principal bedroom a degree of en-suite convenience.
The two further bedrooms both overlook the rear garden: One is a comfortable double; the other a single, and both have built-in storage.
Outside, the rear garden is fully enclosed, fenced to the rear, bordered by the garage to one side and a mature hedge and trees to the other, creating a genuinely private, sun-trap courtyard.
Currently paved, with plants in pots and a small timber shed, it is low-maintenance and ready to enjoy as is, or to reimagine entirely.
To the side of the house, a driveway leads down to a single garage, providing useful off-road parking and additional storage.
EPC Rating: D Location Livingstone Avenue is a well-regarded residential street in a popular part of Callander, within easy walking distance of the town centre and everyday amenities.
The setting is quiet and neighbourly, with the character of an established community rather than a new-build estate.
The property is ideally placed for all that Callander offers on a daily basis, while also being within comfortable reach of the wider Trossachs.
Known as the Gateway to the Highlands, Callander is one of Central Scotland's most appealing small towns, set where Perthshire and the Trossachs meet.
The town combines the convenience of a well-served local high street, including independent shops, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and a range of professional services, with immediate access to some of Scotland's finest scenery.
The Falls of Leny, Ben Ledi, Loch Venachar and the Trossachs National Park are all within minutes.
Stirling is approximately 16 miles to the south-east, providing mainline rail connections and the full range of city amenities.
For those seeking a slower pace of life without sacrificing connectivity, Callander remains one of the most consistently popular choices in the region.
