SUMMARY
Strachbell is a delightful detached 1.5 storey modern home with a single storey wing on the south side providing annexe accommodation. Architect-designed, the build was completed in 2000. The kitchen has been refitted and is still under guarantee and the bathrooms were installed by Elegant Bathrooms. The roof is pitched and slated and there is extensive use of hardwood finishes to door frames, skirting boards and doors throughout. Flooring is a combination of high-quality self-coloured carpets, tiling, oak and wood style flooring.
ACCOMMODATION
A large entrance porch leads to a double door with glass etching to the entrance vestibule with storage cupboard and internal door to the annexe. Double doors lead to the spacious hallway with under stair cupboard. Accessed from here is the charming sitting room which is a lovely double aspect room with a fireplace with marble hearth housing a gas fire. Steps lead up to the more formal dining room with French doors accessing the garden. The modern dining kitchen has high gloss wall and floor units with soft closing drawers and a 1.5 bowl black composite sink. The appliances are all CDA and include a five-ring gas hob with extractor, microwave, dishwasher, fridge /freezer and electric oven. There is a central island unit and oak flooring. Informal and casual living space is found in the sunroom and to bring the outdoors in, a door opens onto a raised area of decking enclosed by decorative balustrades. With a slate roof and eight large windows this room can be enjoyed all year round. Accessed from the kitchen is a rear entrance vestibule which is ideal for storing outdoor wear. A utility room has a sink, Bosch washing machine and Indesit condensing dryer. Within this area is a partially tiled cloakroom with a two-piece white suite.
A focal point from the hallway is the attractive Brazilian pine split staircase ascending to a spacious landing. The double aspect principal bedroom has an en suite shower room with corner shower enclosure with rain fall shower, wet walling, washbasin with vanity unit, WC and a tiled floor. An extensive dressing room which features four double built in wardrobes incorporating extensive hanging and shelf space fronted with sliding mirrored doors. Off this is a versatile space currently used as a home office, but which would also be suitable as a nursery, powder room or sitting room. Three further bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes. The family bathroom is partially tiled to dado level with a superb deep double end spa bath, pedestal washbasin, WC and bidet.
From the entrance vestibule a door leads through to a self-contained annexe which is currently used by the owners as independent accommodation for a family member. It has a spacious hallway with built in storage, a double aspect sitting room with a lovely outlook, two good sized bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom with corner bath, wet wall and shower above, a washbasin with vanity unit, bidet and WC, and a fully fitted kitchen with wall and floor units, New World cooker, New World oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, plumbing for a washing machine and a cupboard housing the boilers.
The garden surrounds the house and is mainly laid in lawn with some fine trees, flower and shrub borders. There is a gravelled area at the side of the house with a drying green.
To the side of the house are four paddocks which are all fenced and have water and electric fencing. Before reaching the house there are excellent Saltire stables and equestrian facilities including nine large stables and one pony stable, along with a concreted feed room and tack room. These are wooden with corrugated roofs.

What a delightful package this is. A favorite room of mine is the split level sitting room and dining room. The multi-generational aspect is hugely appealing. No attention to deal has been missed within the equestrian facilities.
