About this property

  • Beinn na Ciste was constructed in 2011 using a pleasing mix of larch and stone cladding as well as traditional harling beneath a slate roof. With its floor to ceiling windows and series of balconies with glass balustrades, it is a striking house with lovely views and peaceful ambience.

    The main door of Beinn na Ciste opens to an entrance vestibule and then directly into the living room where a wall of full height windows frames the view. A wood burning stove provides a focal point and a warming atmosphere in the winter months. The kitchen and dining area are a few steps up and divided from the living room only by a balustrade. The kitchen blends into the house beautifully with its clean contemporary design and oak units beneath a sleek granite work surface. A peninsula forms the main working area and appliances in the kitchen include a fully integrated fridge freezer, a microwave combi oven as well as a conventional fan oven and an induction hob. On the far side of the kitchen/dining room is a sunroom which, although a smaller space, captures the biggest view. Behind the kitchen is a boot room with back door, and a utility room. The boot room has a sturdy timber storage bench and space for boots and coats.

    The principal bedroom suite at Beinn na Ciste is on the first floor and is a large, bright and calming space with high ceilings and sliding glass windows onto its own balcony. It has built-in cupboards and an en suite wet room. The remainder of the accommodation is on the lower ground floor where there are three further double bedrooms and a bathroom.

    Garage
    From the lower ground floor there is direct access to the double garage which has a remote-controlled door and ample space for two cars as well as the water tank, the boiler, the ground source heat controls, storage and workshop space.


    Outside
    A low maintenance garden has been laid out on the south side of the house. At the western gable of the property a paved terrace is a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view. Paths wind down the garden to an ornamental pond which is planted with attractive shrubs and flowers. The garden and the view from Beinn na Ciste can also be enjoyed from one of three terraced balconies – each has space for outdoor furniture and is enclosed by glass balustrades. There are parking areas beside the entrance to the double garage at lower ground level and beside the back door of the house at the upper level.
