Trossachs

The principal rooms, along with the key bedrooms, have been thoughtfully arranged to maximise the superb open views and natural light. In total, the accommodation comprises four main reception rooms and eight bedroom suites, with the adjoining cottage offering a sitting room and two further bedrooms. Together, the principal house including the adjoining cottage extend to approximately 11,151 sq ft.

The house begins with an impressive front door which opens into a timber panelled entrance hall, leading through to the impressive reception hall, where an elegant staircase rises to the upper floor. A woodburning stove is set within the hall’s central fireplace, and at the far end doors open onto stone steps leading down to the loch-facing terrace.

The principal drawing / dining room sits off the hall, and is a truly special entertaining space, arranged to maximise the spectacular views across the loch and beyond – often of snow-capped mountains – through three large windows, two of which are elegant bays. The room features a central marble fireplace with wood-burning stove, and a doorway leads through to the adjacent whisky room/snug. At the heart of the house is a bright and spacious kitchen / dining room with spectacular panoramic views. The kitchen features bespoke cabinetry and a large central island with black marble worktop incorporating a breakfast bar by Sculleries of Stockbridge. Integrated appliances are by Miele and Bosch, and there is a three oven electric AGA with AIMS system, and a second two-oven AGA. The kitchen / dining room is open-plan with the family room which has three loch-facing windows, and a marble fireplace with wood burning stove. There is an integrated Sonos system with speakers in the kitchen as well as the drawing / dining room. The cinema room provides a high definition viewing experience, complete with tiered seating and an immersive surround sound system. The ground floor is completed by a spacious boot room situated off the entrance hall with two WCs, a gym / bedroom, understairs wine store, a laundry room with WC opposite, and a useful back kitchen with stainless steel worktops and an American style fridge freezer.

On the first floor there are seven beautifully decorated, and characterfully themed bedrooms. Five of the rooms are set around a central galleried landing, and a further two are approached by a corridor. All of them have en suite shower rooms or bathrooms. A further staircase from the main landing leads up to the magnificent second floor suite. Here there is a bedroom with en suite bathroom, a dressing room with store, and a central sitting area with elevated views over Loch Achray, Ben Venue and Ben A’an.

ADJOINING COTTAGE
There is an adjoining cottage which has its own access from Glenbruach House's rear courtyard. It is ideal for running a short term holiday let business (subject to the required licensing), with accommodation comprising a kitchen / dining room with integrated appliances, sitting room, two bedrooms, and a shower room. The plant room for the house is located adjacent to the entrance to the cottage, and the back door to the house.

GARDENS, GROUNDS AND OUTHOUSES
The house is set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens which extend to about 10.76 acres, with sweeping lawns, mature trees, winding burns and a wildlife pond. Natural broadleaf woodland creates a protective barrier around the formal gardens, and provides a habitat for wildlife and spectacular birdsong, with red deer, woodpeckers and golden eagles often seen in the grounds.

A paved terrace sits immediately to the west of the house, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and barbecues whilst taking in the stunning views and setting sun. The driveway passes through stone pillars and electric gates, before sweeping up through the gardens, over a small bridge and to the rear of the main house where there is a generous gravelled parking area. Behind this is a large, green-painted timber garage. This attractive outbuilding has a central clocktower overhead, and holds garaging for four cars, and garden store / workshop.
