The Black House is a high-spec, bespoke sustainable home with Scandinavian and west coast influences, and a 100% energy efficiency rating
Designed by Ian Duncan architects and built by Cairnrowan Custom Homes. The Black House was completed in 2019. Nestled in the centre of a group of four other individually styled homes ,this property is in a lovely rural setting surrounded by rolling countryside and agricultural farming land. The dramatic black front elevation gives the house its name and complements the pointed stone work of the end gable wall. This is a particularly energy efficient home and a theme of the ground floor is the extensive use of polished solid concrete.
This delightful detached property is in turn key order and is very modern and minimal in style and presentation. A bright hallway leads into the superb open plan lounge/dining room/kitchen which features a wood burning stove. There is a feeling of bringing the outdoors in with extensive windows and patio doors. The kitchen is naturally split by a stylish breakfast bar. One side includes soft close drawers and the other has casual dining space. For everyday domestic tasks is a spacious utility room plumbed for a washing machine with space for a tumble dryer. In addition is a boot room which is great for outdoor clothing and sporting equipment. Should one storey living be required there is a ground floor bedroom with adjacent shower room. An timber staircase is flooded with natural light and has a contemporary glass balustrade. Of generous proportions is the principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en suite shower room complete with oversized shower enclosure. Two further bedrooms are serviced by a large bathroom with mains over-bath shower.
