4 Historical Note Pisgah is the name of a house on the Kippendavie Estate, dating back to the 18th century or previous. The name Pisgah as with many old Scottish place names, can be referenced to the Old Testament of the Bible, and in this case Deuteronomy Chapter 3 Verses 27, or 34 Verse 1. Pisgah is the top of the hill where Moses was shown the Promised Land. The Present Pisgah House, is a new building, and is also on a hill with commanding views across the Carse of Stirling towards the Gargunnock Hills and the Grampians. The House was built in on the site of three Estate cottages. Pisgah is very solidly constructed of traditional build on two floors and is aligned so as to face the sun, and has magnificent views over the golf course, which it adjoins. Situation Pisgah House is situated towards the top of Glen Road adjacent to Dunblane Golf Course. Glen Road and its neighbouring streets are characterised by predominantly large detached dwellings, mostly period but in recent years a number of substantial contemporary houses of stature have also been developed. Dunblane is a popular residential town situated close to the junction of the M9 and A9 at Keir roundabout. The High Street has a good range of local shops supplemented by a Tesco supermarket and Marks & Spencer Food Store. The retail offering is complimented by well-regarded primary and secondary schooling, the golf course, tennis club, Dunblane Centre and a number of active local sporting and leisure clubs. Dunblane High School has an excellent reputation and top 10 ranking within Scotland s state schools for Higher exam passes. There is also a wide choice of private schooling within daily travelling distance.

Edinburgh and Glasgow city centres can be reached in under an hour outwith rush hour times as can Edinburgh Airport. Description: Pisgah House was completed in 1991, as a principal house for the neighbouring Kippendavie Estate. The house is designed in a traditional Scots vernacular and orientated to exploit the wonderful views southwards over the golf course and beyond towards the Carse of Stirling and Gargunnock Hills as well as to maximise natural sunlight gains. In recent years the shrubs and trees bordering the golf course have been allowed to grow to screen the house from the course but the option will exist for the purchaser to open out the views once again if desired and the sellers, as owners of the Golf Course, are agreeable to pruning of the trees and shrubs within the golf course adjacent to the Pisgah garden boundary. Pisgah is arranged over ground and lower ground floors and built of double concrete block walls with steel structural elements. The walls are externally faced with wet dash render and smooth bands to window and door openings alongside a traditional slate roof with double glazed windows and cast iron rainwater goods. Note: A photographic record of the construction of the house exists and is available for inspection at Pisgah by viewers along with the original architect s plans.
