Summary - AVONDHU HOUSE, LOCHARD ROAD, STIRLING, ABERFOYLE FK8 3TD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious five-bedroom family home in National Park with superb outdoor access.
Victorian stone villa dating from circa 1884 with strong period features
Avondhu House is a substantial Victorian villa (c.1884) set on a large, mature plot in the heart of Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park. High ceilings, tall sash windows, working fireplaces and original stone detailing give the house strong period character, while bright, well-proportioned rooms and a versatile wing provide adaptable space for family living or guests. The property sits elevated with uninterrupted views across woodland, hills and nearby watercourses, and benefits from extensive gardens, meadows, a private stream, patios and a roof terrace.
The layout includes two formal reception rooms, a dining room leading to a fitted kitchen with Velux light, a utility and cloakroom, plus a self-contained wing with a large bedroom and wet room — useful as a guest suite or annexe. Upstairs are four further bedrooms and a family bathroom; one bedroom opens onto the roof terrace with wide views and clear night skies for stargazing. A sweeping driveway offers off-street parking for 4–5 cars.
This home will particularly appeal to buyers wanting outdoor lifestyle access — walking, cycling, wild swimming, sailing and fishing are all on the doorstep — and to those who value historic detail and space. Practical drawbacks are factual: broadband speeds are slow, mobile signal is average, council tax is high (Band G) and the wider area records relative deprivation compared with urban centres. Tenure is unspecified and some rooms and services may benefit from updating to modern standards.
Overall, Avondhu House is a rare Victorian retreat offering extensive gardens, flexible family accommodation and outstanding National Park setting — best suited to buyers prepared for rural living and the upkeep that a large period home entails.
