Years in the making, inspired by the grand farmhouses of Europe, and guided by the undeniable talents of renowned architect Pauline Hurren; the epic transformation of this now colossal 1946-built cottage was always destined to be something truly special on its serene 1867sqm slice of Stirling.
Paying due tribute to its past, the exposed sandstone of the cottage's facade and internal walls remains as a reminder and eye-catching prelude to the white weatherboard and terrace above in what is now a three-storey, 5-bedroom home in the best dress circle of Stirling.
Whether you're in the unspoiled cottage on the ground level or on a free-roaming third level boasting three attic style bedrooms, there's a natural inclination to meet in the middle on a second level that was designed to inhale treetop views and remove the master wing from interruption.
Stretching the entire width of the second level, that terrace can be privately accessed from the open-plan family room and kitchen; formal lounge boasting timber ceilings and a stone-clad fireplace; and two bedrooms, including a master suite with a Hollywood-esque dressing room.
The colossal open-plan country kitchen best showcases the consistent allocation of handmade teak timber joinery and marble tops found throughout; and adds two huge islands, travertine tiled floors and stainless steel appliances - headlined by a SMEG 900mm oven - to the theme.
And its all sits amongst the serenity of a quintessential Hills garden boasting a circular drive and towering trees, just 5-minutes walk (via walking trail) from the hustle, bustle and convenience of Stirling's main strip. Special, indeed.
