The Square, Ashfield, Dunblane, FK15

Located in the heart of Ashfield, a conservation village built in 1865, this beautifully presented two-bedroom upper flat offers a perfect balance of historical character and modern living. Just two miles from Dunblane, and surrounded by rolling south-Perthshire countryside, the village enjoys views towards Sheriffmuir and the Ochil Hills, while sitting alongside the tranquil banks of the Allan Water. Recently refurbished and brimming with charm, this flat is a must-see for those seeking a peaceful rural retreat.

Accessed via a picturesque external staircase entwined with climbing plants, the flat faces southwest, overlooking the gardens and community playing field. Inside, it boasts two double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and sitting room, and a tastefully updated bathroom. The entire property has been redecorated and features new carpets throughout, while the kitchen, replaced two years ago, combines modern functionality with period-appropriate style. It includes navy blue units, solid oak worktops, a Belfast sink, and a charming Mexican-tiled backsplash.

The sitting room features wooden floors and has space for a comfortable L-shaped sofa and dining table, along with a practical open press cupboard.

The spacious principal bedroom offers views over the gardens and features built-in storage, while the second bedroom enjoys morning sun and a leafy outlook.

The bathroom, refurbished in 2019, features a P-shaped bath with mains shower over, a bright feature wall and tasteful tiling.

Further enhancements include double glazed windows and the bathroom skylight replaced within the past three months, a gas boiler installed in 2020, and recent roof repairs.

Outside, the private garden is a true delight, with fruit-bearing trees, a vegetable patch, and a robust shed for storage.
