Description from owner

Description

Deep in the heart of leafy Buchanan Castle Estate, just outside the village of Drymen, 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.

This prestigious property was completely upgraded and modernized throughout the winter of 2017-18

In addition to the 4 charming bedrooms located upstairs, the house now comprises a spacious downstairs bedroom with en-suite, perfect for older family members or those with small children. The newly built state of the art kitchen, with its large island, the centrepiece for socializing and food prep, features maple units and wrought iron stand-alone units, and adjoins the living area in a vast open plan space, further opening out, through French doors onto the beautiful garden. Weather permitting you could be fortunate enough for al fresco dining. There are three log-burning stoves dotted throughout the living areas and a cosy TV snug. There are three en-suites and 2 public bathrooms, one with a claw footed, Victorian style bath.

The house is tastefully decorated, in a mix of the traditional and modern, and feels much more like a home than a holiday property. There is private access to the stream at the bottom of the garden, trampolines and swings. Although suitable for families, friends, or larger groups, Strathendrick is also suitable for couples looking for a romantic and secluded break. Remember, it is first and foremost a comfortable family home.

The village of Drymen is charming. Local amenities include several fine pubs all serving traditional hot and cold food, a supermarket, a bank, a local butcher, a gallery, souvenir shop and a well-stocked library. There are a variety of events including ceilidhs, regular fairs and dances throughout the year. It is also ideally located for exploring the beauty of Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, and the gateway to the West Highlands.

Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow are all within easy reach.

We supply a complimentary Welcome Pack upon arrival consisting of a bottle of prosecco, shortbread, tea, coffee, sugar etc. There are logs, fire lighters and kindling supplied. A Cleaning Starter Pack is also provided containing essentials for the dishwasher, washing machine and washing dishes etc.
