House Removals Stirling
Stirling is a city located in central Scotland, clustered around a large fortress and medieval old town. It is also Scotland’s heritage capital and where the Wars of Independence were fought and won. If you love history, you will revel in Stirling. Not only is there Stirling’s spectacular castle perched high above the city, the compact heritage mile that links Stirling’s Old Town with its busy city centre is resplendent in historic buildings. Beautifully preserved medieval and Renaissance churches and mansions cluster around the Old town, flanked by cobbled streets, period street furniture and Victorian styled ironwork.
Moving to Stirling
Very popular in the historic centre, particularly on Princess Street, are the small period terraces and cottages. For those who have got a serious amount of money to spend on a property, the stately stone villas and semis of King’s Park are beautiful. The areas south and west of Birkhill Road have some nice Edwardian and Victorian properties all the way down to Bannockburn. To the north of the city centre there are some modern suburban areas, perfect for families, in Causewayhead. For cheaper properties, the Riverside quarter has rows of lovely stone Victorian bay-windowed terraces.
As one of the fastest-growing cities in Scotland, property prices have risen. Properties around King’s Park have asking prices between £450,000 and £750,000. Detached homes, £130,000-£450,000. semis, £80,000-£500,000. Terraced properties, £75,000-£290,000. Flats, £70,000-£320,000.
