A new luxury residence set within half an acre of private grounds in the secluded Victorian spa town of Bridge of Allan.
Thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with its sloping hillside setting, the house is enveloped by mature walnut and redwood pine trees, creating a natural sanctuary of privacy and tranquility.
The plot commands uninterrupted westward views toward Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, offering a captivating panorama of Scotland’s dramatic landscapes.
On arrival, automated gates open to reveal a sunken carport equipped with EV charging stations. The surrounding walls, clad in natural stone, are softly illuminated, guiding visitors up a gently pitched entrance stairway. As one ascends to the upper terrace, the soothing sound of flowing water and the delicate fragrance of lavender engage the senses. A timber-slatted entrance portico signals the threshold to the timber-panelled vestibule, where a frameless, centralised pyramid roof light immediately captures attention.
Beyond the vestibule, the residence unfolds into a series of elegant and inviting spaces. To the right, through a large sliding panel door, lies the family hub—a relaxed, open-plan space for dining, cooking, and socialising. With a generous three-metre ceiling height and expansive French doors opening onto the terrace, this room is bathed in natural light, effortlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
On the opposite side of the vestibule, the formal living room is arranged around an impressive media wall and a sleek bioethanol fireplace. Here, another set of large French doors extends the space onto the terrace, where the gentle sound of cascading water and warm summer breezes enhance the atmosphere of refined comfort.
A private staircase, punctuated by a large picture window offering glimpses of the rear garden and orchard, leads to the principal suite. The ensuite is a sanctuary of indulgence, featuring a glazed twin shower, a built-in bench, and a multi-jet spa system. The bedroom itself extends onto a private terrace, with native wildflower planting, and vertical timber screens ensure seclusion.
Above, two additional double bedrooms—each with ensuite facilities and bespoke wardrobes—offer exceptional comfort and privacy.
Descending to the lower level, an extraordinary health and wellness retreat unfolds. A private Italian marble-clad staircase leads to this subterranean sanctuary, where a shimmering 20-metre swimming pool, adorned with glazed green tiling, is framed by natural stone walls that subtly reflect concealed lighting. The experience is further elevated by a poolside sauna, cold plunge pool, and a luxurious rainfall shower, offering a variety of wellness rituals before unwinding on the sumptuous daybeds.
For those seeking movement and mindfulness, a high-specification conditioning gym provides ample space for yoga, cardio, and strength training, equipped with premium fitness machines.
Beyond the wellness suite, a glazed wall opens onto a sunken terrace—a secluded haven where a centrally positioned fire pit, surrounded by sculpted marble bench seating, becomes a focal point for social gatherings. As evening descends, the flickering glow of the fire dances across the natural stone walls, casting a warm and inviting ambiance over this remarkable residence.
