The ample study/home office, offering a superb working from home base, is to the front of the house, along with the snug/5th bedroom, with triple windows looking out across the colourful gardens.

Light streams into the living room, which spans the width of the house, from the wide sliding patio doors to one side and the picture window to the other. The patio door opens to a substantial paved patio with wonderful views across the adjacent sloping meadow with mature cherry and rowan trees to the side. The character brick fireplace with inset multi-fuel burner provides a welcoming feature to this triple aspect living room.

The dining area is of ample size to contain a table to seat 8. With a feature brick wall and wooden ceiling beams, this marvellous room with French doors opening to the paved patio has wide windows looking out towards the grounds of Brodie Castle Estate. The kitchen contains high quality AEG appliances including a built-in double oven, warming drawer, microwave and hob. A double composite sink with drainer and mixer taps sits beneath the wide window looking across the enclosed rear gardens, with a free-standing dishwasher beneath. The kitchen leads through to the utility room, with access to the double garage and back garden, and ground floor shower room.

Carpeted L-shaped stairs with wooden balustrades lead to the spacious upper floor. At the top of the stairs a cleverly constructed, concealed but functional wooden stairgate, matching the banisters, has been installed.
