Brook Street, Menstrie, FK11

From the moment you arrive at this unique two-bedroom flat, there’s a sense that this is no ordinary property. With its own private entrance and no neighbours above or below, the flat sits elevated above garages in a quiet and friendly courtyard. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, downsizer or looking for an easy-to-maintain home with great character, this one has been cleverly designed to make the most of every inch of space.

The front door opens to a bright staircase leading up to the main accommodation, where you’ll find a welcoming hallway with access to all rooms. The heart of the home is a beautifully presented open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The kitchen is well-equipped with a range-style cooker featuring two ovens and a five-burner gas hob, along with a wine cooler – all included in the sale. A free-standing island unit provides extra workspace and casual dining, with bar stools also forming part of the sale (please note that some kitchen shelves will not be included in the sale).

Storage is particularly well thought out, with sleek cabinetry and a large utility cupboard that hides away the fridge-freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer (please note these appliances are not included in the sale). The utility cupboard also features fitted shelving, making laundry tasks tidy and efficient.

The living and dining areas feel spacious and inviting, with plenty of room for relaxing and entertaining. The double-glazed windows draw in natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, well-proportioned and tastefully decorated. Whether used for sleeping, working, or relaxing, they offer flexibility for a variety of lifestyles. The modern bathroom is finished with clean lines and stylish fittings, with a full suite including bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

A standout feature of this flat is the converted attic, accessed via a hidden staircase behind a cupboard door in the hallway. This space is currently used as a hobby area but could easily be used for a playroom, home office or extra storage – a clever use of otherwise wasted space, giving the property a quirky edge and adding real versatility.

Outside, the property comes with off-street parking in the private courtyard, and a garage which the current owners have transformed into an impressive indoor leisure space. Fitted with astro turf, seating, and a bar area, it provides a fun and sociable setting for year-round use – a sort of “indoor garden” with a twist. There’s also a storage area to the rear of the garage, ensuring you don’t compromise on practicality.

Located in a peaceful spot with no through traffic, the setting is both calm and convenient – ideal for those who value privacy but still want easy access to local amenities and transport links.
