Constructed in 1980 and set amidst an impressive 26.7 acres of rolling grazing land, this exceptional five-bedroom bungalow offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural residence perfectly suited to both luxurious family living and equestrian or agricultural pursuits. Extending to over 3,665 sqft, the property combines expansive interior space with a thoughtfully designed layout, creating a home that is as functional as it is charming.
At the heart of the home lies a remarkable 776 sqft living and dining room—an expansive, light-filled space ideal for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Generous proportions and a seamless flow make this a truly versatile area, with ample room for formal dining, relaxed seating, and social gatherings.
The property boasts five well-proportioned double bedrooms, each offering privacy and comfort. All bedrooms benefit from either en-suite facilities or private toilet access, ensuring convenience for both residents and guests alike. The accommodation is perfectly suited to growing families or those seeking flexible living arrangements.
The large breakfasting kitchen provides a welcoming and practical hub of the home, designed for both casual dining and culinary pursuits, with an abundance of cabinetry, induction hob and integrated appliances. This space is further enhanced by an adjoining utility room and separate pantry, offering excellent storage and additional preparation space while maintaining a clean and uncluttered main kitchen area.
Externally, the property truly excels. The extensive 26.7 acres of land provide a stunning backdrop and a wealth of opportunity, whether for equestrian use, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying the privacy and open countryside. Equestrian facilities are particularly impressive, including eight well-maintained stables, two feed stores, a dedicated tack room, and kennels—making this an ideal purchase for buyers interested in equine facilities or wider rural land use. An integral double garage completes this wonderful home.
Despite its idyllic rural setting, the property enjoys close proximity to the highly desirable town of Dunblane, renowned for its strong sense of community and excellent local amenities. The town is particularly sought after due to the outstanding reputation of Dunblane High School, which is consistently ranked among the top 20 state schools in Scotland, making the area especially attractive to families. In addition, Dunblane benefits from superb transport connections, with its railway station providing regular and direct services to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen, allowing for convenient commuting while retaining the tranquillity of countryside living.
As well as Dunblane High School, Shandale offers convenient access to private schools such as Dollar Academy, Morrisons Academy and Strathallan School.
This is a rare addition to the market, offering a unique combination of substantial living space, versatile outbuildings, and significant landholding. A property of this scale and flexibility presents an exceptional lifestyle opportunity in a tranquil and highly sought-after rural setting.
