Description Neighborhood About Us Destination

Description

A large detached house in a quiet suburb, close to the historic town of Stirling. 4 bedrooms sleep 6 (or 7 at a squeeze) with a large comfortable living room, modern kitchen/dining room with all modern amenities and conveniences, utility room and a study. Wireless internet access is available throughout the house. There is a double detached garage which is used mainly for storage, and ample off-road parking. The main family car (Peugeot 206 - seats 5) would be available if required.

Gardens to the front and side give privacy from the road, and the back garden has a large furnished deck area, chiminea and barbeque.

The house is fully double-glazed and has gas-fired central heating throughout.

Neighborhood

Our house is situated about 5 miles from Stirling, the historic seat of the Scottish monarchs, and sits in the shadow of the Ochil Hills. Wallace's Monument, the Bannockburn Memorial and Stirling Castle are all within 15 minutes drive, and many other famous historical sites are within easy driving distance.

Glasgow and Edinburgh are both less than an hour's drive away; within 2 hours are St Andrews, Dundee, Perth and the Trossachs. Hillwalkers and mountain-bikers will enjoy the many routes in the Ochils, and other sports are available in the area, particularly golf and swimming. A (large-framed) bicycle is available if required.

The neighbourhood is very quiet, with mainly professional families and couples. Our house is situated near the end of a cul-de-sac, so there is very little traffic, especially at night. Public transportation is a few minutes walk away, as are local shops. Several large 24 hour supermarkets are 10 minutes drive away.

About Us

The house owners, Paul and Carolyn, are both teachers. We are therefore limited to the Scottish Education Department's holiday schedule! We both enjoy travel, hillwalking and sports; Paul is a keen rock-climber and scuba diver, but he has given up paragliding after an argument with a rabbit-hole. Carolyn also enjoys painting with watercolours.

Paul's parents live locally and would be available for at least part of the exchange period, should there be any problems. There would always be someone available to help out if they were unavailable.

Destination

Only looking for Vancouver area, due to family links.
