Although very much part of the village of Strathtay, Duart has a private situation being set back from the road in just over half an acre with woodland behind. An attractive stone wall and wrought iron gates frame the entrance to the curved driveway which leads up to parking beside the garage. Duart was built in 2011 and with a mixture of stone and harled walls along with a slate roof and dormer windows, it sits comfortably alongside the older houses in the village. The front door opens to a reception hall that connects to all the ground floor rooms, giving the house a comfortable flow. The drawing room is a large and light room with a bay window overlooking the front garden. It has a wood burning stove surrounded by a carved timber mantel. Glazed double doors open to the dining room and the two rooms work perfectly together for entertaining, particularly as there is a door from the dining room into the kitchen. The kitchen overlooks the back garden and has a warm farmhouse feel with timber flooring and painted timber cabinets. It is open to the breakfast room which also has a bay window. The sitting room is a more informal room with French windows that open onto a sunny south facing terrace. There is also a shower room, study and utility room on the ground floor. On the first floor there is a large bright landing giving access to five double bedrooms; all very well proportioned. The principal bedroom faces south and has a dressing room as well as a shower room. There is one other en suite bedroom and the three remaining bedrooms share a bathroom. The house is enormously comfortable and beautifully presented.

Outside
Duart is set in about 0.5 acres of enclosed garden. In front of the sitting room there is a sunny terrace and neat mown lawn. At the rear of the house a colourful rock garden has been planted where the hill starts rising up behind the house. Acers, azaleas, camellia, heather, ferns and rhododendrons are amongst the plants that produce colour at all times of the year.

Garage
Beside the house is a double garage with storage space.
