  • SUMMARY
    This delightful bungalow is located in a picture-perfect rural setting. Due to the site being elevated, there are commanding countryside views. Constructed around 2009, the architect and owners ensured the design was sympathetic to the landscape with the front elevation clad in larch. Of timber frame construction the roof is finished in Spanish slate. A theme throughout is the extensive use of oak door frames, doors, skirting boards and chrome finish power plates and sockets. The luxury kitchen is from More Than Kitchens. The shower and bathrooms were from William Wilson. All showers are Grohe mixer showers and have fully tiled walls and floors. The Charles York fitted luxury en suite shower room to the principal bedroom was fitted by Laings of Inverurie. Flooring throughout is a combination of oak engineered flooring, slate flooring, tiles and high quality carpeting.

I love the location of the summer house as the perfect retreat to enjoy the sun rising and setting. The rear courtyard is also the perfect sheltered area with complete privacy.
