Description

Ptarmigan was constructed in 2019 and was extended with the addition of a substantial conservatory in 2021. The house has a striking contemporary design which is characterised by bright open plan living areas and floor to ceiling windows that fill the house with light. Double front doors open to a vestibule which leads into an impressive open plan living/kitchen/dining room. Cool grey floor tiles conduct the underfloor heating across the ground floor of the house. The kitchen is sleek and minimalist with a beautiful marble topped kitchen island and warm pendant lighting giving this area an intimate atmosphere. Sliding glass doors link the kitchen to the conservatory and frame the views beyond. A dining area sits between the kitchen to the living room where an attractive wall of shelving incorporates a television. To the side there is also a large wood burning stove. Both the kitchen, utility and living room have doors into the conservatory which stretches almost the whole length of the house at its rear. Complete with a mini kitchen, it has space for dining and comfortable seating either side of a wood burning stove. With two large roof lanterns and triple glazing, this fabulous room is both warm and bright. Also on the ground floor there is a utility room and access to the double garage, a fourth bedroom/study and a separate shower room.

A floating steel staircase with a glass balustrade rises from the ground floor up to a first floor sitting room where full height windows capture a panoramic view of the Sidlaws. The principal bedroom suite spans the entire width of the house and has a dressing room and a spacious bathroom with a roll top bath and a walk in shower. Two further double bedrooms both have en suite bathrooms (one also accessible from the sitting room). All the bedrooms have built in wardrobes and there is also a walk in cupboard/dressing room.

Outside
Ptarmigan is approached by a shared private driveway which arrives through gates to a parking area in the front of the house. The enclosed garden is mainly neat lawn with a paved terrace outside the conservatory providing a sheltered and private area to sit out.

Outbuildings
Integral double garage with remote controlled doors.
Two timber garden sheds

Solar Panels
16 solar photovoltaic panels are roof mounted and contribute to the hot water.
50 ground mounted solar panels are sited in the garden and supply the house with supplementary electricity.
Battery storage is located within the garage where there is also an EV charging point.
