DIRECTIONS

From Glasgow or Edinburgh take the M9 north

past Stirling to the roundabout at the end of

the motorway (junction 11). Take the exit

signposted to Dunblane on the B8033.

Continue along Stirling Road through a mini

roundabout and continue until the next

roundabout. Turn right onto Glen Road and

Tomdoran House is the first entrance on the

left hand side. Bear to the right after entering

the driveway.

SITUATION

Tomdoran House is situated on one of the most

sought after streets in Upper Dunblane. The

area comprises large, detached houses set on a

hill with good views. It is also within a short

walking distance of the town centre and railway

station. Dunblane is one of the country’s

smallest cathedral cities and lies between the

rugged mountain peaks of Perthshire to the

north and the rich fertile Carse of Stirling to

the south. The magnificent cathedral is the

focal point of this charming city with a

population of around 9,000 residents.

The town has a variety of local shops and

convenient supermarkets. It also offers good

recreational facilities which include tennis,

squash and bowling clubs and a golf club.

Gleneagles Hotel with its leisure club and

world famous golf courses is only 14 miles

away. The Dunblane Centre, which opened in

2004, has a range of facilities available for all

ages such as a sports hall, art studio, fitness

suite, music room and a conference room.

There are three primary schools in the vicinity

which feed Dunblane High School.

There is also a good selection of nursery

schools and private schools nearby, including

Beaconhurst Grange at Bridge of Allan,

Ardvreck and Morrison’s Academy in Crieff and

Dollar Academy.

Dunblane is well placed for road and rail

connections to all the major towns and cities of

central Scotland. The pivot of the motorway

network is only two miles to the south with the

M9 and M80 giving quick access to Edinburgh

and Glasgow respectively. The A9 is now dual

carriageway all the way to Perth. Both

Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports are easily

accessible.

DESCRIPTION

Tomdoran House is a wonderful Jacobethan

property dating back to 1861, set in beautiful

grounds of just under one acre. The property is

laden with history as it was believed to have

been originally presented to Alexander Wilson,

the owner of Springbank Mill, as an

engagement present at the age of just 21. His

initials can be seen above the front door. He

was the heir to ‘Wilsons of Bannockburn’, the

tartan weavers, who were previously known as

‘William Wilson & Son’ who have been credited

with the invention of the contemporary range

of clan tartans that we know today.

Tomdoran House was used as a residential

nursing home prior to being reinstated as a

traditional family home in 2007, when major

refurbishments were carried out. Many of the

original period features such as the Oregon

pitch pine staircase, ornate cornices and marble

fireplaces were preserved during the

refurbishment, ensuring that the house retains

an abundance of character and charm.

The property today, however, also benefits from

a high specification interior which provides

Tomdoran House with a fantastic traditional yet

contemporary balance.

The recent modern additions include an

integrated sound system, category 6 wiring and

new secondary glazing to improve energy

efficiency. All six bathrooms are of the highest

quality, and they all benefit from both a bath

and a separate shower. A recent addition is a

porch to the rear of the property.

ACCOMMODATION

Tomdoran House is entered through a grand

reception hall, home to the original ornate

Oregon pitch pine staircase.

The spacious living accommodation is ideal for

family life. The ground floor includes a

spacious drawing room, dining room, sitting

room and playroom. The large kitchen and

breakfast room is well finished with a range of

timber fronted wall and base units, as well as an

island unit, all with granite worktops.

The room is also equipped with integrated

modern Siemens and Britannia kitchen

appliances including an integrated coffee

machine and microwave, a double oven range

cooker and a pair of Blanco sinks, one located

in the island unit. The kitchen links to a

separate utility room. In addition to the

elegant reception rooms, there is a playroom, a

study with fixed bookcases, a WC, a cloakroom

and ample storage space.

Off the half landing, at mezzanine level, is a

good sized double bedroom with an en suite

bathroom and a dressing room. On the first

floor there are a further three double bedrooms

all with en suite facilities, a further double

bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, and a large

family bathroom.

A short staircase leads to the upper mezzanine

level, with a sixth double bedroom, again with

en suite facilities, and a large walk-in shelved

linen cupboard.

The property benefits from a degree of

flexibility in that the sitting room and

playroom on the ground floor coupled with the

double bedroom and the family bathroom

above, could easily be used as an integral guest

or relative’s flat, accessed by the former staff

staircase.

GARDENS AND GROUNDS

The entrance to the property has electric gates

opening onto a private asphalt driveway

sweeping up from Glen Road towards the

house.

To the rear of the property, beside a large

parking area, there is a four car garage with

power, light and four individual electric up-

and-over doors. The boiler room is located

outside the back door and there is a useful

garden store. There is also a large greenhouse.

The garden is dominated by the lawn that runs

up past the drive and wraps around to the far

side of the house. This is bordered with a

variety of shrubs, providing all year round

interest, and a hedge, and more trees have been

planted to provide further privacy to the

property in the future. There is a terrace on

the east side of the house which can also be

accessed via the French doors from the dining

room. The kitchen garden is on this side of the

house and features a range of raised beds used

to grow a variety of vegetables. The grounds

extend to just under one acre.
