Description

---

Presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Scotland’s Late Medieval and Renaissance history, Plane Castle is a faithfully restored 16th-century manor house and 14th-century tower, wherein a wealth of atmospheric accommodation allows for most comfortable modern living, in a dramatic period setting.

The property stands proudly within established grounds of approximately 2.86 acres, which include a charming three-bedroom lodge, ‘Guard’s Cottage’, and ‘Mill House’.

Ensconced within idyllic grounds overlooking a former millpond, Mill House is an imaginatively reinvented former mill house offering approximately 4368 sq. ft. of accommodation* with a wealth of whimsical charm.

Showcasing astounding far-reaching views over the Carse of Stirling, Plane Castle stands in a scenic and historically significant seam of undulating countryside - some six miles to the South East of Stirling’s ancient city centre, and a short distance from the site of the Battle of Bannockburn.

*Constructed circa 2011, The Mill is understood to require additional work and modifications to obtain a Building Warrant Completion Certificate.

There are lovely walking routes through the garden, which features avenues of trees and, seasonally, a colourful carpet of daffodils and snowdrops.
