Imagine waking to find your home bathed in sunbeams, as the sun breaks through a layer of morning mist.
That’s what Lincoln McEwen says the next owners of his stunning Stirling home have to look forward to when he sells.

“I bought the property about six years ago and I was attracted by Stirling, and the home’s central location in it,” Mr McEwen says.

“It’s almost like an English village walking lifestyle where you park the car on Friday night after work and you don’t get in it again until Monday morning, because we walk to the shops, walk to the playground, walk to the library or walk up to the pub for dinner.
“The location couldn’t be any better, but yet it still feels very private. You’d think you’re on acreage.”

The property was the site of the former vet clinic, but some clever conversion work both by the former owner and Mr McEwen has transformed it into a great family entertainer.
“We’ve used it as an extended family house – my parents spent a lot of time in the self-contained area upstairs because it’s got a separate living area, kitchen and bathroom upstairs,” he says.

“We’ve made lots of little changes over the years, including creating an extra bedroom upstairs and converted the remains of the vet upstairs back to much more residential use.
“It’s great for entertaining and we had my boy’s seventh birthday on the lawns and it was perfect for that.
“All of our friends live nearby and we’re never short of a pop-in and we spend a lot of time on the deck around the chiminea in winter or enjoying the shady garden in summer.

“People are blown away by the views out of the northern windows and the sun streams through so you get beautiful dappled light during the day and as the sun comes up in the morning it streams through the mist in the valley and bathes the house in these stunning rays first thing in the morning.”
The home features seven bedrooms, numerous indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces and is set on a 2680sqm allotment with a creek.

“There are two ducks that have lived there for the past three years now – it’s brilliant,” Mr McEwen says.
“My kids Leo and Ivy loved it – it really is a fantastic family home.”
