Deep in the heart of leafy Buchanan Castle Estate, Strathendrick House is a haven of peace and tranquillity. A vast garden, dominated by an enormous fir, and surrounded by mature trees and an orchard, ensure utter seclusion and privacy.
A large, well-equipped, breakfasting kitchen is the hub of this family friendly, but sophisticated large holiday house. French doors lead out on to the garden, and the kitchen itself is a blend of stylish maple, black granite and stainless steel finishes. The kitchen leads through easily to a spacious and airy dining room, complete with multi-fuel stove and beautiful antique furniture. There are two lounges: a cosy ‘snug’ with multi-fuel stove, and hand built stone fireplace, and a supremely elegant main sitting room, tastefully furnished in warm tones, with huge leather sofas, and French doors to the gardens. Both are ideal for relaxing with a good book, whatever the weather, while the children make full use of the large games room again with French doors to the garden.
Upstairs two of the bedrooms, with large king sized beds and sumptuous furnishings, benefit from ensuite shower rooms and French doors leading to Juliet Balconies. Two further bedrooms and bathrooms make this the ideal property for family and friends to gather and enjoy the light and spacious surroundings, or as the ideal touring base. Situated in Scotland’s first National Park, and with Loch Lomond, and the majesty of Ben Lomond close by, the area is staggeringly beautiful. A huge variety of outdoor activities are on offer; golfers have the choice of many top class courses all within easy reach, including the championship course of Loch Lomond, as well as the Buchanan Castle course and the delightful 8 holes of Stathendrick, which are only minutes away. The Drymen and East Loch Lomond area is a veritable paradise for anglers of every level of experience. The waters of this area are the home to many different types of fish including: brown & rainbow trout, perch, pike, salmon and roach, whilst Loch Lomond, the largest freshwater loch in Scotland, offers a wide range of water sports, to suit all ages and abilities, including sailing, canoeing and waterskiing. For avid horse riders, stables are situated within the Buchanan Castle Estate itself.
The village of Drymen itself is endlessly charming, with local amenities, several fine pubs and eateries, a leisure and sports complex open to the public, as well as a variety of events including ceilidhs, agricultural shows, and dances at Hogmanay. With the historic town of Stirling and its castle, battlefields and monuments, and Glasgow, the City of Culture and Entertainment both less than half an hours drive away, this delightful holiday house has something to offer everyone.
