SITUATION Quarter House stands centrally within its protecting gardens, farmlands and woodlands in southwest Stirlingshire, about 7 miles south of Stirling and about 1 mile north of Dunipace and Denny. The M80, M9 and M876 are all within easy reach and make Quarter House enviably placed for ease of communications throughout central Scotland. Glasgow and Edinburgh are both easily reached – Glasgow within 30 minutes and Edinburgh within 45 minutes. More locally, Denny, Falkirk, Larbert, Stenhousemuir and Grangemouth are all close at hand. In addition to the motorways, there are Railway Stations at Falkirk, Larbert, Camelon and Stirling. The village of Dunipace and the neighbouring town of Denny provide for day-to-day services and needs and are augmented by the additional services and facilities of Stirling, Falkirk and their neighbouring towns and villages. Stirling is well known for the historical attractions of Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument. The many further historical and cultural attractions of Edinburgh and Glasgow are within easy daily reach. The local schools are augmented by a number of private schools within daily travelling distance including Dollar Academy, Strathallan and Kilgraston (girls only) by Bridge of Earn as well as the private schools on the north side of Glasgow such as Kelvinside Academy, Glasgow High School and Glasgow Academy. There are many attractive walks and horse riding opportunities in the immediate locality and the neighbouring Farm is run as a Farm Park with Holiday Lodges, Fishing Loch, Riding Stables and Children’s Playground alongside a Café. Beyond the local countryside lies Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park to the west and north-west of Stirling. The open spaces of the National Park as well as the Kilsyth Hills and Carron Valley Forest provide a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities. Further afield lies the spectacular scenery of Highland Perthshire and the Cairngorms National Park. Locally, there are a number of well-regarded Golf Courses including Glenbervie, King’s Park in Stirling, Dunblane, The Championship Courses at Gleneagles Hotel and Loch Lomond Golf Club. GENERAL DESCRIPTION Quarter House is a long-established Residential Estate centred on a classical and beautiful Georgian Country House dating from 1776. The house enjoys an elevated setting within the local landscape and is surrounded by 63 acres of gardens, parkland grazings and established woodlands. Quarter House is Listed Category B and is notable for its symmetrical elevations, well proportioned rooms and an attractive array of period features. Quarter House is traditionally built of rendered stone under a pitched roof clad in slate with a central pediment over the pillared Tuscan porch. Matching astragalled windows frame the entrance porch with five regularly spaced sash and case windows above (Note: The second and fourth are dummy windows). Inside the entrance porch opens through an elliptical archway into the flagstone hallway with its cantilevered stone staircase and the flanking drawing and dining rooms to either side. To the rear of the hall lies the comfortable sitting room with traditional fireplace and adjacent passage leading to the large kitchen/breakfast room with its Aga and neighbouring office, utility room, stores and WC.
The first floor bedrooms feature are light and well and proportioned, typical of the Georgian era with an array of period features including original fireplaces (now disused), window shutters and cornices. In total there are 6 double bedrooms, 3 of which have en-suite bath or shower rooms with a further bathroom adjacent to the rear stairs to service bedrooms 4, 5 and 6. Currently bedroom 6 is used as a study. To the rear lies an enclosed courtyard with recently renovated Coach Cottage. This benefits from central heating and recent renovation works that have formed an attractive 1 bedroom cottage with en-suite shower room, sitting room with solid fuel stove and kitchen/dining room. The cottage has been used both for holiday lets and family/guest accommodation. The useful outbuildings lie adjacent to the rear door from the utility room and comprise two generous stores and log shed. Fronting Quarter House is a large, gravelled car parking area with lawns and flower beds enclosing the house. The elevated position of Quarter House provides far reaching views over the surrounding farmlands and woodlands, primarily in a westerly direction. To the north-east of the house lies the Walled Garden and neighbouring orchard. These are now primarily lawned but retain a number of fruit trees. The Stables Courtyard (Lot 2) lies to the north of Quarter House and is independently accessed via a branching driveway from the house drive. The courtyard is ‘U’ shaped with two cottages, tractor shed, workshop, stables and further stores. Note: Planning consent has been applied for to create a branch driveway to the Stables Courtyard along the route shown by the letters A and B on the sale plan. Garden Cottage is a 2 bedroom cottage in need of general refurbishment and modernisation and Harness Cottage which forms the eastern part of the courtyard is also a 2 bedroom cottage in need of modernisation and refurbishment. Floor plans for the cottages and outbuildings are included herein. Garden Cottage extends to about 1,123ft2 with Harness Cottage extending to about 695ft2 on a Gross Internal Floor Area basis. The outbuildings offer scope for conversion to further dwellings or development to form a single larger dwelling, perhaps with secondary cottage. There is small paddock to the north-east of the courtyard. The grazings at Quarter Estate extend to about 31 acres in all and the estate is registered as an Agricultural Holding. In recent years the grazings have both been farmed in-hand and let on seasonal grazing licenses to neighbours. The woodlands extend to about 29 acres in all and comprise established policy woodlands surrounding Quarter House and the courtyard as well as a notable avenue of trees framing the first section of the entrance drive. There are further woodland strips along a number of the field boundaries as well as mature roundels of trees within the parkland grazings to the west of the house and courtyard. The 2 principal blocks of woodland lie to the east and alongside the southern Estate boundary. These comprise a mixture of mature broadleaves and conifers and provide a receptive environment for both birdlife and general wildlife including roe deer. There is a former quarry within the southern woodland and the maturity of the woodlands provides a ready supply of timber for Quarter House and the cottages.
