4 bed detached house for sale

Stirling Road, Larbert FK5

Gillespie Property are thrilled to present Parkvale - a truly unique, architect-designed detached home tucked away in an exclusive cul-de-sac of just 11 individually styled residences in the sought-after west end of Larbert.

Originally built in the 1940s/50s, this exceptional home was fully reimagined and rebuilt in 2007 under the direction of an architect, creating a striking and contemporary family residence. Affectionately known as "The Glass House, " the property lives up to its name with an abundance of glazing that connects every corner of the home with its surrounding gardens and fills each space with natural light.

The home is approached via double gates, leading to a substantial, private plot with an expansive mono-block driveway that easily accommodates multiple vehicles. A spacious double garage sits to the side, with one half retained for traditional use and the other converted into a stylish TV room complete with its own private entrance, a kitchenette with sink and units, and a separate WC. This flexible space is ideal as a home office, guest suite, or games room.

Step inside through the stunning glass-fronted entrance vestibule and you're welcomed into a light-filled hallway with hardwood flooring and solid white-finished hardwood doors, some featuring inset glass for added brightness. Upstairs, the same high-quality materials continue with grey-finished hardwood doors and luxurious carpet running up the staircase and across the landing. The home benefits from modern tech including a Ring doorbell at both the front and rear, and a contemporary alarm system for added peace of mind.

To the left of the hallway, the impressive open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area spans the full depth of the property, offering clear sightlines from front to back. This space is both stunning and functional, with lvt flooring throughout, a feature TV wall with LED lighting, and soaring double-height glazing at the rear. The bespoke kitchen is finished to a high standard with quartz worktops, a Blanco inset sink, 4-ring electric hob with extractor hood, integrated Neff double oven and microwave, and built-in fridge and freezer. Full height panel blinds offer privacy when needed, while French doors with wooden shutter blinds open out to a decked seating area.

A pantry off the dining area provides valuable additional storage, and just beyond it lies the utility room, which houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. This space also has external access to the rear deck and is equipped with a second Ring doorbell for added security.

To the front right of the home is the cosy and stylish family room, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, a dancing flame electric fire, fitted alcoves, and a TV wall with LED lighting. Full height panel blinds add a luxurious touch. This room connects directly to the formal dining room, which comfortably seats eight and is fitted with full-height panel blinds and French doors opening onto the decked terrace.

Upstairs, the light and airy landing is lit by two skylights and leads to 4 beautifully appointed bedrooms. The rear-facing master suite features two deep built-in wardrobes, a dramatic crisscross window overlooking the open-plan space below, a walk-in dressing room, and a luxury en-suite with rainfall shower, vanity unit, and dual-aspect windows. French doors provide access to a potential balcony area - a glass walkway and terrace were part of the original vision and remain an exciting opportunity for the next owner. The 2nd rear bedroom is also a generous double with integrated mirrored wardrobes and its own en-suite shower room. At the front, one bedroom connects to a stylish Jack-and-Jill bathroom complete with step-up bath, integrated Sony TV, bidet, WC, and tiled alcoves, all lit by dual-aspect windows. The 4th bedroom, also front-facing, is a bright double that overlooks the driveway.

A standout feature of this home is the newly completed garden room (2025), accessed through composite sliding doors at the rear of the property. This elegant space was designed to create uninterrupted views straight through to the back garden. Inside, it features lvt flooring, LED lighting, air conditioning, a feature TV wall, and a large central island with bar seating. The garden room also includes a kitchenette with Blanco sink and gold tap, and a hidden luxury shower room discreetly tucked behind a wood-panelled wall, complete with a mains-powered rainfall shower and marble-effect finish. Composite sliding doors open onto a fully enclosed private decked area with an outside tap, power point, and gate access into the main garden.

The rear garden is a peaceful sun trap, mostly laid to lawn with a small section of artificial turf and a secluded seating area tucked behind mature trees. The space is private, fully enclosed by fencing and greenery, and ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying outdoor life in tranquillity.
