A contemporary home surrounded by breath taking scenery, with separate garage and outbuilding, set within the village of Strathyre.
Set within the picturesque village of Strathyre, Burnside is a contemporary home built in 2009 and arranged over two floors. With four bedrooms, open-plan living space, a detached garage, a separate outbuilding, and plenty of parking, Burnside has much to offer, whether as a family home, or as an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding countryside. The current owners have particularly valued the area's natural beauty and endless outdoor pursuits while raising their family here.
The house is entered through a spacious vestibule with a large storage cupboard, leading into a central hall with striking checkerboard flooring. Much of the ground floor flows openly from this space, creating a layout that feels both sociable and practical. Occupying the curved section of the house is the main sitting and dining room. Five upright windows bring light in from multiple directions, giving the room a bright and airy feel throughout the day, while still feeling cosy during colder winter months thanks to the free-standing wood-burning stove.
Tucked around the corner is the kitchen, thoughtfully designed to connect easily with the main sociable living spaces while retaining a degree of separation. In-built cupboards keep the space neat and tidy, and integrated appliances include an induction hob, two ovens, double-door fridge freezer and dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a room currently used as an office, which has also served as a walk-in pantry in the past. Alongside is a well-equipped utility room with additional built-in storage, a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, and a second sink.
The eastern side of the property has two ground-floor bedrooms, served by a contemporary bathroom with both a bath and separate shower. Also on this level is a bright sunroom with windows spanning across two sides and double doors that lead out to the patio. This is a particularly versatile space, equally suited to use as a second sitting room, home office, studio or simply somewhere to enjoy the morning light.
Upstairs has recently been fitted with new Velux windows (2025), drawing in light from above, that filters down to the hall below. Two further bedrooms are positioned on either side of the landing. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, while the fourth bedroom, although smaller, still comfortably accommodates a double bed. Additional useful storage can be found within the eaves.
Outside, there are two detached outbuildings, a garage and a separate office or gym, both supplied with electricity. The private driveway provides plenty of parking for several vehicles. The garden is easy to maintain, with leafy borders that surround a paved patio and gravel area. A timber pergola provides a sheltered spot for outdoor dining and summer gatherings.
A footpath can be reached directly from the driveway, crossing a small wooden bridge before linking with the extensive network of walking and cycling routes that run through the surrounding national park. From the house, miles of countryside can be explored without ever needing to get in the car.

Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee in the sunroom or heading out for a walk straight from the driveway, every day at Burnside feels connected to the landscape.
