Set in the heart of the Trossachs National Park, The Shieling is a charming two-bedroom detached cottage recently renovated for modern living while retaining period character. The partially open-plan lounge and kitchen/dining room create a sociable hub with patio doors onto raised decking — ideal for alfresco dining and enjoying the woodland backdrop. The well-kept rear lawn and surrounding trees offer privacy and memorable countryside views.
Accommodation is compact and practical: two bedrooms (one with an en-suite WC), a modern shower room and an entrance vestibule. The property will suit purchasers seeking a low-maintenance rural home or a retreat for weekends and holidays rather than a large family house. Driveway parking for two and a modest front lawn add everyday convenience.
Practical points to note: the cottage is small (approx. 454 sq ft), broadband speeds are very slow and there is no mobile signal on site, which may affect home-working or connectivity. The property lies within a national park and a minor no-through road, so planning options are likely limited. EPC is noted as E and the surrounding area is classified as having limited local services, so buyers should consider access to shops and some amenities in Callander (approx. 6 miles).
Overall, this is a quietly attractive, recently upgraded rural cottage for anyone wanting a secluded Trossachs base — particularly downsizers or buyers looking for a countryside second home who value character, privacy and outdoor space over urban connectivity.
