The Avenue, Ashfield, Dunblane, FK15

This enchanting two-bedroom cottage, located in the peaceful conservation village of Ashfield near Dunblane, offers a rare chance to own a truly special home. Recently refurbished, the cottage has been thoughtfully updated to blend contemporary comforts with timeless character. Upon entering, the welcoming hallway, with its engineered oak flooring and stylish navy and white décor, sets the tone for the rest of the property.

The cosy sitting room is a welcoming space, benefiting from south-facing windows that flood the room with natural light. The woodburner, set on a granite hearth with a solid oak mantel, adds warmth and character, making this an ideal space to relax. Open press cupboards provide convenient shelving, and the fresh, neutral décor complements the cottage’s timeless feel.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the brand-new kitchen, which was fitted within the past three months. This space features sleek white units plus oak-effect worktops, and high-end appliances, including a Zanussi induction hob, AEG pyrolytic oven plus microwave, an integrated dishwasher, washing machine, and a spacious larder-style fridge freezer. There is space for a kitchen table, making it perfect for casual dining, while views over a quiet lane and a nearby community play park add to its appeal.

Off the hallway, you will find two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both decorated in soothing neutral tones with subtle wallpaper and quality carpets. Excellent storage is a feature here, with built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms and easy access to a largely floored loft, offering ample additional storage space.

A shower room to the rear provides all the necessary conveniences.

The south-facing garden is a true highlight of this property. Designed in classic cottage-garden style, it features mature shrubs and annuals, and three separate seating areas, one of which is a sunny spot perfect for outdoor dining. A small greenhouse and shed are also included, while an allocated off-street parking space provides convenience. For those seeking additional potential, the small lawned area at the back of the property could offer scope for future extension.

This charming cottage offers a unique blend of modern living and traditional appeal, with beautiful surroundings and easy access to Dunblane and local amenities. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this delightful home has to offer.
