The property was completed in 2005 on the site of a ruined stables, making use of the original footprint of the stables and some remaining stone walls, but largely rebuilding to create the exceptional rural property that exists today, with vaulted carriage entrance leading to the central courtyard.

Dominic Wedderburn of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “When I first visited this site in 2003 it was little more than a pile of stones. The developers’ brief was to embrace the best of contemporary living, while reflecting the character and style of the original building. They have certainly delivered those aims and it has been hugely rewarding to see the transformation taking shape. Today Edenshead Stables offers a wealth of beautifully-presented accommodation, plus delightful grounds leading down to the river. The tranquil setting, along with its rural-yet-accessible location, will appeal to a wide range of buyers.”

The house offers three wonderful reception rooms – drawing room, sitting room and dining room, plus study, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom connecting to bedroom five/dressing room, three further bedrooms, all with en-suite shower rooms, and further WC. All the accommodation is on the ground floor.

The kitchen is of particular note, measuring 30’9”x18’5” with Silestone worktops and stone floor tiles as well as an oil fired Aga, fitted cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances include a NEFF microwave fan oven and warming drawer. The elegant drawing room has curved walls to the south and west, with access to the garden and a wonderful elevated patio area overlooking the grounds.

The development of the property included significant landscaping work to maximise the views over the River Eden and open countryside to the Lomond Hills in the distance.

Edenshead Stables is approached from the village of Gateside by a shared gravel track, leading through the entrance to a generous parking area to the east side of the house. The house is set in beautiful gardens and grounds extending to about 2.7 acres, largely laid to lawn as well as a meadow with mature trees and shrubs.

To the west of the house is a lovely garden terrace, which enjoys a southerly aspect over the River Eden and open countryside to West Lomond.

Pathways lead through the woodland to a meadow bordering the River Eden.

To the north side of the house is a substantial garage building with parking for four cars and a spacious monobloc parking area, plus greenhouse and two garden stores.
