Ramoyle, Stirlingshire

Beautiful historic two-bedroom, two-bathroom detached cottage with wonderful, landscaped garden at the heart of Dunblane’s old town.

This beautiful, historic, two-bedroom, two-bathroom detached cottage is a real gem.

Painted a striking pink and standing detached on Ramoyle, the original high street of Dunblane's old town, it is the sort of property that stops you in your tracks.

Inside, everything has been refurbished to a very high standard. Crisp, bright white walls run throughout, paired with polished oak flooring, and the result is fresh, light and calm.

The kitchen-dining room is a lovely space, with white shaker units topped with a butcher's block worktop, a white ceramic sink, a gas hob, an electric oven and a stainless-steel extractor.

The dishwasher and washing machine are integrated, there is a large pantry cupboard, plus an American-style fridge-freezer. A central island adds further storage along with a wine rack.

The radiators have custom-made covers, and a window seat overlooks Ramoyle, a perfect spot for a morning coffee. The dining area occupies the corner, and a door leads through to the sitting room.

Carpeted stairs lead up to the bedrooms and family bathroom. The sitting room is a wonderful room with plenty of space to relax.

Custom-made fitted bookshelves line the end wall, and a truly beautiful period black-lead fireplace, with exquisite narrative tiles and a slate hearth provides an eye-catching focal point.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is bright, spacious and peaceful, with white walls and a calm street view.

The ensuite has a corner shower cubicle lined with striking monochrome wall tiles, wood panelling and a white suite.

The second bedroom is L-shaped and also bright and white with room for a generous double bed and a desk space.

The family bathroom is fully tiled in dove-grey ceramic, with a large shower featuring a rainstorm head and hand unit, a stainless steel towel rail and a stylish wooden drawers beneath the sink.

A Velux fills the room with natural light and fresh air. Outside, the garden is an absolute delight, creatively terraced with dry-stone walling to create a series of discreet seating areas.

The planting is mature and full of interest, with shrubs and ornamental trees, heathers and ferns, and mini conifers, making the whole garden a journey to wander through.

One of the upper terraces holds a patio with limestone paving plus a summer house, providing additional sitting space and offering potential to work from home.

Further on, another terrace has space for a picnic table. Both sit high enough to catch the sun beautifully.

Stone steps lead on to a gate through to the open green space of Holme Hill, the former grounds of Holme Hill House and a protected area that is valued and cherished by Dunblane residents.

Parking is on-street. Cliff Cottage is a genuinely unique property, a rare and special find, full of charm and character, from its vibrant pink exterior right through to the gate onto Holme Hill.

What the Owners Love Most: The owners love the convenience of the old town location, their gorgeous garden, and the unique Ramoyle community.

Location: Ramoyle is the jewel of Dunblane’s old town and its original high street, a characterful corner of this popular Stirlingshire town.

The train station is only a ten-minute walk away, and the shops, restaurants and cafes of the high street are about five minutes on foot, so everyday life here is wonderfully easy without needing the car.

Commuting links are excellent.

Stirling is just a short hop by train, around eight minutes, Glasgow Queen Street is about 45 minutes away, and Edinburgh Waverley is roughly an hour, with direct services to all three.

And with the garden gate opening onto Holme Hill, a protected and much-loved green space, you can be among trees and open ground in moments.
