Location

The Squash Court sits in an enviable position close to Loch Ard. It is located around 2 miles west of Aberfoyle, within the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which is part of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.

Kinlochard offers excellent leisure facilities including a sailing club, the Go Ape outdoor activity centre (the UK's longest treetop zip wire course) at the nearby David Marshall Lodge visitor centre, and the MacDonald Forest Hills Hotel and Spa. The wide range of activities in the area include mountain biking and walking, pony trekking, canoeing, wild swimming, shooting and fishing. Aberfoyle provides a good range of facilities including a primary school, shops, post office, supermarket and a variety of hotels and restaurants as well as an 18 hole golf course. Secondary schooling is at McLaren High School in Callander, and independent schools are in Bridge of Allan, Dollar and Glasgow.

The Trossachs is at the heart of Rob Roy MacGregor's Scotland and it was in this area with its delightful mix of lochs, burns, hills and glens that he lived his life and where some of his more famous exploits are said to have taken place. The Trossachs has a diversity of wildlife including magnificent golden eagles, osprey, peregrine falcons and red deer, which coexist with creatures such as roe deer, wildcats, foxes, feral goats, badgers and red squirrels.

Description

The Squash Court is a wonderful semi-detached converted cottage that was originally built in the early 1900s. Constructed of stone under a slate roof, this unique property offers 1,036 sq ft of accommodation over two floors.

The home has a versatile layout and is centred around a bright and spacious open plan living room with a turned oak staircase leading up to a mezzanine level and plenty of space for dining.   Six Velux windows and a glazed gable allow light to fill the room, while the woodburning stove and modern spiral radiators create a cosy environment in the colder months. The galley style kitchen is well appointed with a range of high and low level cabinets, oak worktops and a built in cooker.

There are two well proportioned bedrooms: the principal is located on the ground floor and benefits from an en suite shower room and built in storage. The second is upstairs off the mezzanine with an arched window looking over the main living area and built in storage. A shower room and handy cupboard complete the upper level.

Externally, a sweeping driveway runs round the property to the front door and a parking area and patio.

Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
