THE PROPERTY

This outstanding detached bungalow was built in 2015 on the former site and gardens of a more modest 1960s property located here. When building Cairngorm for themselves the owners were intent on preserving the establishment growth and feel of the 50 plus years old gardens maturity. The garden is one of the largest around at 0.44 acres in size and Cairngorm sits beautifully within it.

The bungalow is almost 2,200 ft in size providing stylish, well conceived and comfortable accommodation. It is also highly energy efficient with an impressive A EPC rating, and eco friendly credentials aided by an air source heat pump providing underfloor central heating and hot water supply , and solar panels on the roof.

There is a great balance of the three double bedrooms and living room accommodation. A stand out feature is the large and lovely, living, dining room and kitchen, likely to be the social hub of the home, with an adjacent kitchen sized utility room, and leads open plan into the uplifting garden room, where French doors flow onto terraces and garden. The engineered oak floored sitting room measures a healthy 16 square and has an inset log burning stove.

Another clever feature is the luxurious bath and shower room, set between the main and guest bedroom, providing a Jack & Jill facility to each. The third double bedroom currently used as a work from home office is located off the inner hallway next to the cloakroom WC.

The self contained, independently accessed annexe is another great feature at Cairngorm. It has a double bedroom with wet room as well as a good sized living space making it ideal for a dependant relative perhaps, as overspill accommodation or indeed could provide a good long or holiday letting income.

The situation is special and secluded and the garde is remarkable, measuring over 190 long at the the rear. This area is a real treat with a sense of maturity and peacefulness so hard to find.

Cairngorm is an exceptional place with a combination of features so hard to find unhesitatingly recommended.
