About this property

  • Stravaig is a striking modern country house built in 2020. Designed with distinctive gables, elongated rooflines and deep overhanging eaves it has a very pleasing contemporary style. The slate roof, stonework and timber cladding ensure Stravaig sits comfortably in its rural surroundings. Extensive floor to ceiling triple glazing on both the ground and first floors mean that natural light floods into the interior and uplifting views are enjoyed from almost every room in the house.

    At the centre of Stravaig is a double height reception hall with the staircase rising to a galleried landing above. Double doors open to a sleek, contemporary kitchen, complete with island, dining area and a glazed seating area. Here, a second set of double doors open directly to one of the garden terraces.

    Stravaig has two bright and spacious sitting rooms. One has a wood-burning stove and doors that open to terraces on two sides of the house. The second sitting room is designed with two full walls of glazing, drawing in light from both the south and west, and additional double doors also lead out to the garden.

    Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom with a beautiful ensuite bathroom, with large free standing bath. Practical rooms at the rear of the house include a boot room and utility room. It is also worth nothing that there is an integrated sound system throughout the house.

    On the first floor is the main bedroom suite at Stravaig. It is characterised by floor to ceiling glazing which frames views of the glorious setting. Its bathroom has both a free standing bath and shower. Bedroom two also has an ensuite bathroom, and the two remaining bedrooms have en suite showers. The bedrooms are all generously-proportioned with built-in storage. Further useful storage cupboards are built into the landing.

    Garden
    The garden at Stravaig extends to about half an acre. Owing to the shape and orientation of the house, there is a choice of sheltered terraces making the best of the sun at all times of the day. Much of the garden is laid to lawn, offering plenty of scope for keen gardeners to develop further planting if desired.

    Land
    Directly in front of Stravaig, and separated by the private road, is a paddock of about half an acre. The paddock would be ideal for chickens or hobby livestock, creating a productive garden, planting wildflowers or an orchard, or simply as a recreational area for families.
