Converted church hall, currently a B&B but with potential as a family home.

Description

Kip in the Kirk is a former church hall, converted by the present owner to form spacious and flexible accommodation. The property is currently used as a bed and breakfast with accommodation to suit all types of visitors, from couples and families to groups of hikers and so on. This C listed building has been fully renovated and re-designed to create an impressive property that is both spacious and versatile, while retaining some of the original features.

The interior has been reconfigured to provide living space, letting rooms and owner’s self-contained accommodation. The entrance vestibule leads into the main ground floor hallway – off here is the accommodation which is presently used for guests: three en suite letting rooms; a kitchen with breakfast area, with a range of floor and wall mounted storage cupboards; and the guest sitting room. On the first floor are two further bedrooms both with en suite shower rooms, one being a large principal bedroom with dual aspect windows. The second floor is presently used as the owner’s accommodation and comprises a bright space with windows overlooking the countryside to the front with an open plan living room with wood burning stove, along with a fitted kitchen with modern floor units and a breakfast bar.

From the entrance, an inner hallway leads to a further generously-sized room. This is used as a bunk room with sitting and breakfast areas, and is serviced by two shower rooms.

To the front there is parking for several cars with a pathway to the side leading to a front patio. To the rear there is a grassed area and drying green.

Location

Kip in the Kirk has a lovely setting in one of Stirlingshire’s prettiest villages, surrounded by unspoilt countryside alongside Scotland’s first National Park. The area offers some of Scotland’s finest scenery, including Loch Lomond and the Arrochar Alps. Loch Lomond is crossed by the Highland boundary fault and the physical characteristics of lowland and highland Scotland can be seen within a few miles of each other.

The property lies in the village of Drymen which is a charming conservation village with its own primary school, village shops, pubs and hotels. Secondary education is available at the highly regarded Balfron High School. The area is well placed for commuting by road to Glasgow (18 miles), Glasgow Airport (22 miles) and Edinburgh Airport (50 miles), while the rail service from Balloch Station offers services to Glasgow.
