Description

Immaculate, five-bedroom, detached dwelling, architecturally designed circa 1996, with huge upgrades and recent renovations. Fantastic rural location, benefiting from a smallholding licence. With approximately six acres, it would suit an equestrian lifestyle.

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to offer this five/six-bedroom detached dwelling, "Tigh Na Tochail", which has been architecturally designed and built to the highest of specifications circa 1996, with current owners during their tenure refurbishing and upgrading to the highest of specifications, with the quality of workmanship being evident at every turn. Offering spacious and versatile living accommodation over two floors, presented to the market in immaculate walk-in condition. The property benefits from superior fittings and furnishings with a fresh neutral decor, immaculate floor coverings throughout, with double glazing, and oil-fired central heating.

This substantial property, with many potential opportunities, its rural location and gardens, will make a superb family home with room to grow and would suit extended family living, or has huge potential for business purposes with the popularity of the equestrian lifestyle in the area and the bonus of a smallholding licence. Early viewing is a must and is highly recommended.

The accommodation comprises a vestibule to a welcoming hall leading to all further accommodation. To the front of the property, a spacious lounge with a huge bay window that floods the room with natural light, with a multi-fuel stove adding that touch of grandeur.

An impressive bespoke open-plan dining kitchen is undoubtedly the heart of the house, fitted with multiple walls and base-mounted units with modern work surfaces. A central island adds further storage and a casual dining area with multiple quality integrated appliances. A formal dining and family area is open plan to the kitchen, with patio doors leading to a large decked area ideal for some alfresco dining. The kitchen to the rear hall allows access to the utility room and to the side and rear garden.

From the central hall leading to the rear of the property, you have a master bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a centrally located family bathroom with a roll-top bath and a separate shower cubicle. There are two further double bedrooms with a home office completing the ground floor accommodation.

A carpeted staircase with a wooden balustrade leads to the first floor. There are two further double bedrooms, one of which has its own dressing room. From the upper hallway, you have access to a shower room with a separate WC.

A family games room with a bar/kitchen area with fitted appliances is a huge hit regardless of age, a fantastic space for entertaining and large get-togethers. In addition, there is an abundance of storage cupboards throughout the property.

Outside, the driveway allows access to an extensive drive with parking for multiple vehicles and leads to the double garage. The gardens that wrap themselves around the property are laid mostly to lawn with a boundary fence, and the gardens throughout the property, nearing an acre in size, are planted to a mixture of mature trees, shrubs, plants and seasonal flowers.

You have a choice of where you choose to sit so that you can enjoy the views, the sun and some alfresco dining, enjoy the summer house with a jacuzz, or relax by the waterfall leading to the enclosed pond area stocked with fish. Adjoining the property and with direct access there is a 6 acre field laid to grass with field shelters, water and electricity
