Balmeanoch

About this property

Balmeanoch is a quaint cottage set on the hillside, on the quiet shore of Loch Earn. The property provides a great base for a family or group of friends to explore Scotland’s southern Highlands. After a long hike in the hills, return to the cosy Balmeanoch. Take off any coats and boots in the porch and head into the living room. Recline on the sofa, putting your feet up by the woodburner while discussing the day’s events. Once you feel thoroughly revived, move into the kitchen/diner and cook up a delicious home-cooked meal to enjoy at the kitchen table, or in better weather, at the chairs and table outside on the patio. Downstairs you will find a double bedroom, with a twin and a single bedroom upstairs, all offering a great place to rest your head. There is a family bathroom on the ground floor as well as a WC by the porch. Step out into the garden and you can enjoy the fantastic views of fields and hills, as well as the peace and quiet. The property is a short distance from the village of Lochearnhead, located as the name suggests, at the head of Loch Earn. The village is a popular location for water sports such as sailing, water-skiing, wake-boarding, sailing and canoeing, fishing as well as three 9 Hole and two 18 hole Golf Courses around Crieff and Callander . Nearby you will also find Ben Vorlich, a 985m-high hill that offers beautiful views of the North and West. Escape with your loved ones to this homely Scotland cottage. If you are looking for a historical property with features and quirks or a property of age, Balmeanoch is the place for you . EPC Rating: Band G
