An attractive traditional house and cottage at the heart of Strathtay village.
Dundarave was built in 1889. It is an attractive traditional stone property characterised by the peaked roofs of three dormer windows and their decorative timber fascias. Internally the house has been modernised over the years and it is now a comfortable and versatile family home with an open plan dining kitchen at its heart. A pretty porch at the front of the house leads to the reception hall which has a sitting room and a family room on either side. Both are bright rooms with traditional style and proportions offering flexibility depending on how a buyer wishes to use them. The sitting room links to the cloakroom and bathroom and has previously been used as a guest bedroom. The family room is a cosier space with its wood burning stove. The open plan kitchen/dining room has lots of character with a log burner and recently fitted contemporary kitchen units. A door from the kitchen leads to the west garden, while a door from the dining area leads to the boot room, utility room and back door.
On the first floor a large light landing wraps around the staircase and leads to four double bedrooms (three with original fireplaces) and two shower rooms.
Cottage
Adjoining Dundarave and forming a courtyard at the rear of the house is a self-contained two storey stone-built cottage. It is older than the main house, dating from 1817 and is currently run as a successful holiday let. The cottage would also work well as accommodation for guests or extended family. On the ground floor there is a sitting room with woodburning stove, a galley kitchen and a shower room. On the first floor are two charming bedrooms each with a wash basin.
Outside
The garden at Dundarave amounts to approximately 0.31 acres and has been neatly landscaped in different sections around the house. To the east an enclosed lawn is a lovely spot to sit out in the evenings and is currently dedicated to cottage guests. To the west of the house is a sheltered and private terrace overlooking a lower section of garden filled with plants and shrubs and surrounding an ornamental pond. There is a small burn that runs through the garden which is an attractive water feature. There is plenty of space to park in the courtyard behind the house.

I love the fact that Just 300m from Dundarave you can cross the Tay and go for a meal in Grandtully.
