Hugely impressive modern country house with views.
It is one of a group of four houses, which are of a similar bespoke construction and style, although Dun Taigh is believed to be the biggest, and there were plans for another, again in similar style.
Electric wooden gates with an intercom entry system open to a tarred parking and turning area adjacent to the house. From a covered area steps lead up to a partially glazed wooden front door. The entrance vestibule has a shelved storage cupboard and a door to the impressive games / snooker room. This has a full size snooker table with lights over, fitted bar with granite worktop, circular sink, Husky drinks fridge and a slate tiled floor. On the other side is the hallway which has an oak staircase which leads to the first floor. The cosy family room has a fireplace housing a wood burning stove and links through to the fully fitted bespoke kitchen with wall and floor units, tiled splashbacks, soft closing drawers and granite worktops. The well appointed kitchen includes SMEG appliances including a range cooker with double oven and five gas burners with extractor, eye level microwave, coffee machine, American style fridge freezer with water and ice dispenser, together with a central island unit with a sink, dishwasher, wine fridge and breakfast bar. Enhancing this area are bi-folding doors leading to the decking and making the most of the views, and a walk in larder. The adjoining dining room also has French doors to the decking, creating a lovely linked entertaining area. Also off the hallway is the playroom, which has been used as an additional bedroom. The partially tiled shower room has a circular glass washbasin with vanity unit, shower cubicle and WC. The utility room has fitted wall and floor units with tiled splashbacks, Belfast sink, Panasonic washing machine and dryer and a back door.

The oak staircase leads up to the impressive upstairs sitting room which has picture windows making the most of the views, Contura wood burning stove, open beamed ceiling, wall mounted Sony TV and a built in cupboard. Either side are two bedrooms which both have built in hanging wardrobes and en suite bathrooms with bath with shower, WC, washbasin with vanity unit and walk in cupboard. The spacious master bedroom has a hatch with attic ladder to floored roof space and a walk in dressing area with built in wardrobes which give access to undereaves storage. The impressive partially tiled en suite bathroom has a spa bath, large shower cubicle, washbasin with vanity unit, WC and tiled floor. A further dressing area has two built in cupboards (one shelved) and leads through to the gym / study with fitted shelves and desk and picture windows.
There is an attached double garage with two automatic up and over doors, which is connected to the house by a covered car port.
The garden is mainly down to lawn with mature trees including sycamore and beech and is enclosed by hedging and fencing.

"Dun Taigh is a property which fits very well into its rural surroundings thanks to its sensitive and imaginative design. With an equal bed:bath ratio and a superbly appointed kitchen it is undeniably luxurious and wonderfully spacious, in a location that is as convenient for the coast and sandy beaches as it is for the A90 and easy commuting to both Aberdeen and Dundee.
