5 bed detached house for sale

Leighton Avenue, Dunblane FK15

Set within a generous plot and enjoying a bright open aspect, this substantial five-bedroom property offers well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors. The layout is both practical and flexible, with generously proportioned rooms, contemporary fittings and direct garden access from several points of the house. The current owners have made tasteful improvements to create a welcoming and well-maintained home that will suit a variety of households, including growing families or those looking to accommodate multi-generational living.

The ground floor offers a striking main living space at the rear of the house: A large, light-filled lounge overlooking the back garden, with a feature gas fire providing a warm focal point. This flows through to a sociable dining area, which comfortably seats six to eight people, and provides an inviting space for family meals or relaxed entertaining.

The modern kitchen is well equipped, with sleek cabinetry, matching worktops, and integrated appliances including an electric oven and hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Wooden flooring and recessed downlighters enhance the contemporary feel, and the kitchen opens into a lovely additional sitting area with an electric Chesney log burner effect fire and sliding doors leading to a sunny balcony – a perfect spot for a morning coffee or evening wind-down.

Also on the upper level are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. One of these benefits from an impressive en suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding rolltop bath, a fully tiled finish, and a stylish modern suite – a real highlight of the home.

From the hallway, stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where there are three further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a home office. The remaining two have their own private en suite shower rooms, making this an ideal arrangement for teenagers, guests, or extended family. A large, luxurious family bathroom also sits on this level – fully tiled and fitted with a modern white suite and a second freestanding rolltop bath, creating a relaxing and spa-like feel.

Externally, the property has much to offer. The front and rear gardens are generous in size and thoughtfully landscaped to provide a range of attractive seating and dining areas, with decking, gravel paths, mature planting and fruit trees. There’s a neat lawn, a shed for storage, and a large summerhouse – ideal as a studio, garden retreat or workshop. Facing south-west, the garden enjoys plenty of sunshine throughout the day.

Additional features include gas central heating, double glazing, a large single garage, an alarm system, and a monitored video doorbell for added peace of mind. The home is located in a peaceful yet well-connected part of Dunblane, close to schools, amenities and the rail station, making this a highly desirable setting for family life.

What the current owners loved most:

“We’ve always loved how spacious and light the house feels – it’s been great for having family to stay or just enjoying quiet time in different areas of the house and garden. The garden itself has been a real sanctuary – sunny, private, and perfect for growing things or relaxing with a book.”

Dunblane is one of Central Scotland’s most desirable locations - a charming and historic city that offers an exceptional quality of life. Its city status stems from the striking 13th-century Cathedral, a proud centrepiece that reflects Dunblane’s rich heritage and enduring appeal.

The town provides all the essentials for daily living, with a variety of local shops, a library, post office, and healthcare services, including a medical centre. Supermarkets such as Tesco and M&S Foodhall are within easy reach, making everyday errands simple and convenient.

Families are drawn to the area for its well-regarded schools at both primary and secondary level, while a strong sense of community is supported by a wide range of local clubs, groups, and activities.

For leisure and recreation, residents can enjoy riverside walks, a local golf course, tennis club, and the popular Dunblane Centre, which hosts fitness classes, youth programmes, and community events. The Hydro Hotel, a well-known local landmark, also offers access to a leisure club, spa, and restaurant.

Dunblane’s cafés, restaurants, and pubs create a relaxed and sociable atmosphere, and the town’s compact size makes everything easily accessible on foot. Excellent transport links include a mainline railway station with direct services to Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond, while the city of Stirling is just a 10-minute drive away. All of this combines to make Dunblane a consistently popular choice for buyers looking for the best of town and country living.
