We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
This charming semi-detached cottage occupies a lovely riverside setting at the foot of South Church Street and has been extended over the years to provide deceptively spacious and flexible accommodation across two levels.
Full of character and with clearly much-loved gardens, the property offers an exciting opportunity for buyers seeking a home with warmth, potential and an excellent location within Callander.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch leading into the main living areas.
The lounge is a comfortable and welcoming room, while the dining kitchen provides a sociable heart to the home with ample space for family meals and day-to-day living.
A particularly useful feature is the large walk-in pantry with sink, offering excellent storage and practicality.
Also on the ground floor is a family room forming part of the extension, a versatile space that could suit a variety of uses depending on a purchaser’s needs.
A downstairs shower room adds further convenience.
From the family room, a staircase leads to a generous bedroom above, creating a degree of separation that may appeal to those looking for flexible sleeping accommodation, guest space or a room with a little more privacy.
On the upper floor there are two further bedrooms along with a bathroom arranged in a Jack and Jill style, accessed from both the landing and one of the bedrooms.
Externally, the property’s gardens are a real feature.
The extensive rear garden stretches down towards the river, creating a lovely setting and offering plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, garden, or simply sit and appreciate the position.
There is also a greenhouse and a shed, both adding to the practicality of the outside space. On-street parking is available to the front.
While the property would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, it offers great potential for a new owner to update and personalise it over time.
With its appealing riverside plot, flexible layout and charming character, this is a home with much to offer.
What the Current Owners Loved Most The current owners have particularly loved the garden and the property’s riverside setting, which give the home such a peaceful and special feel.
They have also enjoyed the flexibility of the accommodation and the convenience of being close to the centre of Callander while still feeling tucked away from the bustle.
