It reads like a Magazine cover story - front to back. A bold yet beautiful rewrite, this four to five-bedroom home layers architectural genius, family appeal and interior-design joy, high on its half-acre parcel, a three-minute stroll from Stirling.
Behind a sweeping circular driveway and classic farmhouse façade, a duet of French doors introduces a pair of interconnecting sitting rooms ideal as a stone-clad home business base with a cellar and storeroom.
Make a few clever moves, and the entire main floor becomes a private guest suite or granny flat (STCC), with separate access.
The Pauline Hurren-designed upper-level cements the home's family credentials, yet throughout, the interior palette talks chic: butter creams, soft greens, grass-weave and imported wallpapers, and garden-led hues that bring calm and cohesion.
Elevated by 'one-pac' grey-teal joinery, limestone benchtops, and quality Smeg appliances, the solid kitchen is unmistakably designer from its social flow to its original butler's wing.
The flow continues with living and dining zones, both casual and formal, anchored by a stone combustion fireplace and French door connection to the sunbathed balcony. Seeking a media room or the perfect stage for Christmas? It's here.
Ever mindful of Stirling's seasons, the primary wing reflects them, accommodating a huge dressing room, rear-adjoining ensuite, and French doors both front and back. Nearby, a library-shelved study, guest powder room, family bathroom and generous laundry reflect the floorplan's practicality.
Rise again and epic attic floor space presents invaluable storage or a landing for the inherited train set.
Outside, irrigated gardens, stone-walled and all-weather terraces, quiet garden glades and Finska-ready lawns depict a sanctuary for generations - the dual garage, workshop, two storage sheds and trailer parking verge all but guarantee it's as functional as it is beautiful.
Even the cubby house features a play kitchen, dining banquette and mezzanine floor for the most magical garden make-believe.
"Iddesleigh" delivers what very few Stirling homes can: an ageless family footprint with deliberately daring interior design, making every day a little more special
