Exclusive development of only four private dwellings
Set within an exclusive cluster of just four private homes, The Barn is a substantial new-build steading conversion offering 279m2 (approx. 3,003 sq ft) of contemporary living and uninterrupted views to the Ochil Hills. The design combines traditional steading character with modern, energy-efficient construction—solar panels, high-quality finishes and landscaping—suiting buyers seeking a low-maintenance rural home with strong environmental credentials. The property includes private garden grounds, a driveway and an integral garage.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, no reported flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the house well-equipped for remote working or family life. The location benefits from countryside tranquillity while being within reach of Stirling’s amenities, transport links (M9/M80 and rail) and local schooling. The builder is noted for meticulous craftsmanship and durable materials, which supports long-term value and reduced immediate maintenance.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the wider area classification includes “very deprived,” which may affect local services and resale perceptions despite the site’s promoted prestige. The development is small and private (four dwellings), so communal management arrangements or shared upkeep responsibilities may apply—buyers should confirm any estate covenants, service charges or maintenance obligations. Prospective purchasers should also review full specification documents and floor plans; images and descriptions are indicative and some fixtures/fittings may not be included.
Overall, The Barn will suit buyers wanting a large, contemporary country home with strong energy credentials, generous living space and exceptional views. It offers clear appeal to families or professionals seeking rural privacy without sacrificing broadband and mobile connectivity, but buyers should carry out standard due diligence on local services, any shared-development governance and the detailed specification before proceeding.
