Property overview

We are delighted to present to the market this bespoke, five-bedroom, detached property.  A striking example of modern architecture, Aireymuir sits proudly on an elevated plot allowing for the enjoyment of breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside and hillsides beyond. 

The immaculately presented and generously proportioned accommodation flows seamlessly over two floors.  To the front of the property on both levels, floor to ceiling windows allow for an abundance of natural light with the rooms to the rear benefitting from views of the surrounding garden and woodland.

Occupying a plot extending to approximately 1.1 acres, Aireymuir is surrounded by well-maintained garden grounds which comprise large lawn and a patio to the front. To the sides and to the rear, a  private woodland is made up of a variety of trees including fruit trees which bear an array of seasonal produce.

The property is further enhanced by a triple garage with an extra height middle section to allow for the storage of a motor home or other larger vehicles.

Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the surroundings, layout and high-spec finish of this beautiful property.

Full Description

Enter the property at the main door into a bright hallway with floor to ceiling windows to the rear.  Doors from the entrance hallway lead into the dining kitchen, the utility room and to a utility cupboard where the electricity apparatus and under floor heating manifolds are located.

Glazed double doors open from the hallway to a central atrium where the dining room, dining kitchen and lounge are situated. 

The dining kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of grey matte wood-grain finish base units topped with granite worksurfaces laced with garnets.  A central island incorporates excellent storage facilities, an integrated undercounter fridge/freezer and the island provides a place for informal dining.  A five-ring gas hob sits next to a woodburning Rayburn cooker which will remain.  Further cooking facilities are located in the utility room which is adjacent to the dining kitchen.  Double doors from the dining kitchen allow access to the front garden.

The generous utility room provides further storage, base units incorporate a sink, draining board and a work surface.  The room has an integrated double oven and space for a free-standing washing machine, dishwasher and American style fridge freezer.  A notable feature of this room is a large walk-in pantry with light and power.

On open plan with the dining kitchen is a spacious formal dining area which is sufficiently proportioned to allow for the placement of a large table and chairs and other items of furniture.  The dining area houses a stove set in a granite surround which is a support to the structure of the house reaching the full height of the room and beyond to the upper floor.

The lounge is on semi open plan with the dining area and the dining kitchen.  This thoughtful layout allows for free flow whilst creating a partial separation which provides a cosiness to the lounge.  The full height granite support also features in the lounge where there is a second stove.  Floor to ceiling windows to the front and another two large windows to the side provide natural light and double doors lead to the front garden.

Off the dining area, doors lead to a ground floor bedroom/study with fitted storage provision.  Also, off the dining area and adjacent to the ground floor bedroom is a three-piece shower room.

An open tread oak staircase with glass balustrade ascends to the upper floor landing where the open plan layout, along with 6 large Velux windows (four at the front, and two at the back) continue to provide natural light. 

There are four large bedrooms on the upper floor, two to the front and two to the rear.  All of the bedrooms are served by en-suite facilities and all offer excellent fitted storage.

The principal bedroom suite is to the front of the property, comprising a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.  The bathroom has a four-piece suite including a free-standing bath and a separate WC in a room within the bathroom.

Upper floor bedrooms two and three share a five-piece bathroom suite.  Upper floor bedroom four is served by a shower room with a three-piece suite.

Off the upper hallway is a large walk-in cupboard housing the water tank. Eaves storage is accessible from the cupboard and also from a small door in upper floor bedroom three.

Lovingly nurtured gardens surround the property. Private woodland and mature shrubs, trees and bushes provide a high degree of privacy and shelter.  A gate to the front allows access to the driveway which leads up to the triple garage.  The garage houses the Biomass boiler.  The oil boiler is positioned at the outside rear of the garage with the oil tank to the side.
