Specifications - The property was designed by the current owner and has been crafted with a strong emphasis on natural materials to create a healthy and comfortable home which is at one with its surrounding environment. All structural timber and the Douglas Fir cladding was sourced in Morayshire. The house is heated with underfloor heating on each level which is powered by an air source heat pump, with a combination of quality tiled, carpeted and solid timber flooring throughout. The roof tiles are Ballachulish roof slates, sourced from a church in Glasgow, the external frame is insulated with Warmcel which is manufactured from recycled newspapers. The home enjoys triple glazing throughout with both external doors and one internal door connecting the porch and conservatory providing excellent thermal efficiency and comfort. The windows and doors (with the exception of the front door) are aluminium clad for ease of maintenance. An array of solar panels provide much of the domestic hot water in the summer and even a significant percentage in the winter months. All the original electrical wiring is environmentally conscious non-pvc.

Main House - The main house is approached through wonderfully laid out and interesting gardens into the spacious and bright porch which has an emphasis on glazing to offer excellent light levels and also joins both parts of the property with the conservatory and main accommodation to one side and the annexe and workshop to the other. There are beautifully created slate steps which lead through to the simply stunning conservatory space which hugs the side of the curve and offers superb levels of natural light which flood the room and offer a warming and calm ambience. There is ample space to locate as much or as little furniture as you need and it is the ideal space to sit and view the ornate gardens which brings the outside in. Two doors offer flexible access into the kitchen and living area where the units are hand crafted solid wood and designed to mirror the curve of the property and which enjoys an excellent range of base, wall and drawer units with complimentary solid timber and midnight black granite worktops as well as integrated appliances.

Again, there has been careful thought given to providing excellent natural lighting and the living space is an ideal area for family and friends to relax and socialise whilst some exciting cuisine is being prepared. Further doors lead to the en-suite bedroom, utility room and central staircase. The utility room offers useful space with plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer and fridge freezer, a ceiling roof mounted airer and good worktop space with sink, tiled splash back and integral cupboards in addition to a door leading to the gardens. The en-suite bedroom is currently being utilised as an impressive home working space but is purposed as a calming and sizeable double bedroom with garden views through the three large picture windows and integral storage with good shelved and hanging space. The en-suite shower room provides fantastic amenity with shower enclosure, bespoke storage and display shelving in addition to a back to wall wc with dual flush and integrated wash hand basin with a chrome mixer tap, splash back tiling, wall mirror and opaque window to the side of the house.

The first floor landing provides access to three further double bedrooms (two with integral storage) that are all unique in their own way but all with a priority on offering excellent light and a calming environment. The family bathroom has two opaque windows in addition to a three piece suite in white which includes a large bath with shower, wc and wash hand basin in addition to excellent towel storage in the airing cupboards There is a shelved storage cupboard and further exit door within the landing with stairs leading down to the garden and with a wrap around balcony providing a vantage point at which to admire the surrounding views and flora.

The top floor landing has a conical glazed ceiling flooding the space with natural light and emphasising the structure of the cleverly sculpted balustrades which run vertically to the ground floor. The glazed floor to ceiling windows and access door provide a glimpse of what is to be revealed in the magnificent sitting room and studio which envelops the top floor. The prominence of glazing to both the walls and ceiling, creates a light filled, safe and inspiring space aloft the rest of this splendid house. The warm and inviting sitting room is centred around the bespoke native hand crafted wood burning stove and offers varied views at every angle as well as access to a door opening to a Juliette balcony allowing for a wonderful vantage point as well as letting in a good flow of fresh air. The room wraps around the central circular stairwell to a library area and then the studio with inset work units and sink which is certain to stimulate creativity of any kind whether that be artistic or business focused.

Annexe Accommodation - This marvellous self contained unit is joined to the main house by the porch and offers a tremendous option to operate as an air bnb type income stream, as a long let or to utilise as a walk in multi generational living space. The living area and kitchen are on open plan and are drenched in natural light provided by the floor to ceiling glazing. There is a wood burning stove on a slate hearth which offers a warming ambience and the modern kitchen is well equipped with an inset oven, ceramic hob and illuminated extractor fan in addition to a sink with drainer and mixer tap, integral fridge and freezer offering all the amenity you require. The impressive timber and granite worktops are complimented with bright tiling, under unit mood lighting and beautifully quirky door knobs.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
