Milltown Cottage was built in 2012 on the site of a former miller's cottage. It has been designed in a style that suits its rural setting and makes the very best of its spectacular views. Traditional characteristics such as its slate roof, white rendered walls and reclaimed stone work well with its huge glazed walls and wraparound first floor balcony. The property has been finished to an exceptionally high standard. It is beautifully presented, luxuriously comfortable and in move-in condition.

The large and welcoming reception hall has a woodburning stove set into a decorative stone surround and its dark flagstone floor contrasts with the carved oak staircase that leads up to the living accommodation. Here, an impressive open plan kitchen / living room has a lofty cathedral-style ceiling and full height glazing framing the view across Loch Tay. The kitchen is fitted with painted timber units, granite work surfaces and a sociable central island has more storage including two wine fridges. The focal point of the kitchen is a heather coloured five oven electric AGA complete with useful gas hob module. The sitting area is ideal for family gatherings or entertaining, another stone mantel surrounds an efficient wood burning stove. Glazed doors open to the balcony which has a glass balustrade and far reaching view. The sitting room links to the dining room, which is a more intimate space for formal dining. A glazed wall divides the dining room from the landing ensuring that light gets into the heart of the house. Double doors from the dining room open into a sitting room which could also be used as a bedroom; likewise the study works well as a smaller bedroom. A large and luxurious bathroom is situated between them.

The principal bedrooms are on the ground floor where three large and luxurious bedrooms all have en suite shower rooms and built in storage. There is a separate WC and a utility room on the ground floor.

Outside
Milltown Cottage is approached via a shared private road which leads to a parking area beside the house. Steps lead up to a large, enclosed paved terrace which looks over the crystal clear water of Lawers burn. On the first floor a balcony wraps around the front of the house and has spectacular views over Loch Tay. There is lots of space for outdoor furniture on the balcony, as well as the hot tub. The balcony creates an attractive covered entrance which is ideal for stacking and drying wood. A smaller balcony on the east elevation is accessible directly from the kitchen.
