An inspirational contemporary home offering a spectacular perspective on Loch Tay.
Ard Tullaich was built in 2021. Constructed of locally quarried stone beneath a flat living roof, the house sits lightly within its surroundings, its low-profile design allowing the landscape to take centre stage.
The interiors are calm and beautifully executed, with a palette of natural materials and earthy tones creating an atmosphere of warmth and tranquillity. Expansive glazing draws the landscape into the house, framing uninterrupted views across the loch and to the surrounding hills.
In the main living space a double-sided wood burning stove is set into an exposed stone wall that creates a division between the sitting room and the kitchen/dining area. The natural oak flooring is matched to the elegant oak handle-less kitchen cabinets and there is space for a large dining table.
The sitting area has room for large comfortable sofas. It also has a window seat and built-in shelving. An impressive floor-to-ceiling sliding door of solid oak separates the living space from the bedrooms and utility areas.
The house has five double bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms) and a large bathroom with a walk-in shower. In keeping with the rest of the house, the shower/bathrooms have high quality, neutral coloured finishes. Careful thought has been given to lighting, shelving and storage throughout the house.
The bedrooms all have large windows, some with window seats. All of the bedrooms have built in storage and one has open shelving.
Ard Tullaich’s accommodation is completed with a cloakroom and an adjoining WC as well as a laundry room with a fitted sink and storage.
Ard Tullaich was designed to be sustainable and energy efficient. Heating is provided by a ground source heat pump and there is underfloor heating throughout the house. A Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system continuously introduces fresh filtered air while recovering heat from extracted air, enhancing comfort, indoor air quality and overall energy performance.
Garden
Ard Tullaich is set within approximately one acre of grounds that have been landscaped to sit naturally against the hillside. A timber gate opens to a gravel parking area, from which a cobbled pathway leads to and around the house. Designed to soften into the landscape over time, grass grows between the cobbles while maintaining a solid surface beneath. A level lawn adjoining the kitchen provides a wonderful place to sit out and enjoy the views across Loch Tay. Beyond, the ground falls away towards the water below.
Outbuildings
A useful outbuilding behind the house is built of black corrugated iron. It is an ideal store for outdoor gear and tools.
