The main bedroom also has an en-suite shower room with toilet. In addition, to the en-suite shower room, the flat also contains a small bathroom complete with bath and shower.

With modern double-glazed windows, cavity insulation, loft insulation and a fully functioning central heating system which is serviced annually, it is a cosy and energy efficient flat. [Energy performance assessment conducted 6th of June 2019. Ratings at upper-end of Band C.] The front and back windows are east and west facing respectively meaning that the flat benefits from the warmth and light of the sun during most of the day. In the summer, the flat is also easy to keep cool due to the size of the windows and the fact they can be opened wide when required, with its second floor position normally allowing it to catch a pleasant cooling breeze from the west. Although situated close to a main road and a railway line, the double-glazed windows mean that the flat is generally very quiet.

The flat is only a 15 minute walk / 10 minute cycle / 5 minute drive from Bridge of Allan main street which has a variety of shops, small supermarkets, coffee shops, and restaurants. It is only a 20 minute walk / 15 minute cycle / 7 minute drive from the University of Stirling’s main entrance and is a 25 minute walk / 15 minute cycle / 7 minute drive from Stirling city centre. Bus stops offering services to Bridge of Allan main street, the university, and to Stirling city centre are less than a one minute walk from the flat. Both Bridge of Allan and Stirling have train stations offering services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dundee. In addition, a drive of less than 10 minutes from the flat takes you to the M9 motorway heading toward Edinburgh and Glasgow, or the A9 heading north towards Perth and Dundee. For those with children, it is a 5 to 10 minute walk from two different primary schools and a 15 minute walk from Wallace High School.

As mentioned, the property has a secure entry system, in addition, it benefits from being under a factor, and so the communal stairwells, hallways and gardens are cleaned/tidied regularly and very well-maintained. The property also benefits from having its own private car park for the use of all residents and a dedicated area for the disposal of household waste/recyclables.
