Two substantial reception rooms, each centred around a wood-burning stove, offer flexible spaces for both entertaining and everyday living. During the colder months, they become wonderfully warm and inviting retreats, providing the perfect setting to unwind after a day spent enjoying the surrounding countryside.

Positioned to take full advantage of the property's spectacular outlook, the dedicated first-floor office provides a peaceful and inspiring environment for home working or running a business.
Outside, the detached garage, workshops, storage buildings and sheds provide exceptional flexibility for vehicle storage, hobbies, outdoor pursuits or additional workspace. The extensive grounds offer endless opportunities for gardening, recreation and simply enjoying the spectacular natural surroundings. Tucked away beside the gently flowing burn, the charming bothy provides a peaceful retreat, immersed in the tranquillity of its surroundings. Equipped with a wood-burning stove and a solar-powered electrical system with inverter, it offers a wonderful place to relax, unwind and connect with nature. Whilst not suitable for permanent habitation, it is a delightful addition to the property, enhancing its unique appeal and lifestyle offering.
