Two Stirlingshire properties offer rare opportunity to own piece of Scottish architectural legacy

Two Stirlingshire properties with an illustrious past, each telling a unique story of the region’s rich history and charm have been brought to the residential market.

Callander Lodge and Callander Gardener’s House & Coach House, situated in the historic Leny Feus area of Callander offer a rare opportunity to own a piece of Scottish heritage.

Callander Lodge and Callander Lodge Gardener’s House & Coach House have been brought to the market by Scottish Estate Agents, Bell Ingram for offers over £350,000 and £250,000 respectively.

A striking example of Victorian architecture, Callander Lodge dates back to 1863 and has a distinguished history. Built for Colonel Robertson, a prominent figure in mid-19th century Callander, this villa was constructed during a period of significant local development following the arrival of the railway. As one of the finest villas in Leny Feus, the property catered to the growing influx of affluent tourists who flocked to the area during the summer months.

The Lodge’s timeless design includes period features such as ornate cornicing, decorative dado rails, and grand fireplaces. The addition of a late-19th-century conservatory and an Edwardian Baroque-style entrance porch enhances its architectural appeal. Its original purpose and grandeur remain evident, making it one of the most well-preserved homes in the area.

Set in 2.85 acres of mature, meticulously landscaped gardens, Callander Lodge reflects Colonel Robertson’s deep interest in horticulture. The gardens, featuring an array of mature trees and shrubs, offer a tranquil setting that beautifully complements the grandeur of the house.

Situated nearby, the detached Callander Gardener’s House & Coach House offer a unique renovation opportunity for buyers interested in restoring a piece of history. Also dating from the 19th century and linked to the area’s expansion due to the arrival of the railway, this property was originally built as a gatehouse. Its gardens once served as the kitchen garden for Callander Lodge.

Constructed of traditional stone with a slate roof, the Gardener’s House and the attached Coach House sit in grounds extending to 0.42 acres. While the Gardener’s House is in need of significant renovation, the adjoining stables and coach house provide ample scope for further development, subject to necessary planning approvals. With its period features, fireplaces, and ample space, this property offers tremendous potential for transformation into a unique residence.

Leny Feus, where both properties are located, holds a special place in Callander’s history. Developed in response to the expansion of the railway in the 19th century, the area became a popular destination for wealthy visitors. Homes such as Callander Lodge and Callander Gardener’s House were purpose-built to cater to this demand, adding to the region’s charm and prosperity.

Callander Lodge remains a symbol of the era’s architectural ambitions and aesthetic sensibilities. Meanwhile, Callander Gardener’s House and Coach House offer a more rustic, yet equally fascinating, glimpse into the region’s past, with the potential for a new chapter in their long history.

For anyone with a passion for history and heritage, these properties present a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of Callander’s architectural legacy.

Commenting on the sale, estate agent, Carl Warden, says: “These properties are not only remarkable for their architectural significance, but also for their deep connection to the rich heritage of the area. Whether you’re looking for a beautifully preserved Victorian villa or a restoration project with immense potential, these homes are steeped in character and history, offering an exceptional chance to create something truly special.”
