Built around the late nineteenth century, Strathhaugh cottage has been extensively renovated without losing its traditional feel, and now offers relaxing family living accommodation over two floors. There are large outbuildings to the north east of the house, which provide useful extra storage space, or possible conversion potential to a separate annexe or much larger family house; Full Planning Permission was granted in May 1998 for this by Gordon District Council (plans are available from the owner). On entering Strathhaugh through the double doors at the front of the property an entrance hall links all of the accommodation. To the right is the spacious dining kitchen and utility room. The kitchen is a light, bright room with windows to the front and rear of the property and is the ideal room for a get together around the kitchen table. From the hallway are the stairs leading to the two double bedrooms, and a WC. At the other end of the hall is the sitting room which has a large open fire and two windows. The dining room or playroom leads on from the sitting room and this is also a light filled room with dual aspect. A second hallway is the link to the large family bathroom, study/bedroom 4 with another open fire, and the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor. Plenty of windows, open fires, and the pretty, sheltered location with land all add to the fantastic ambience of this home. Outside The immediate gardens are fenced and mainly laid to lawn and include fruit trees, a trampoline and a playhouse for children. Beyond is a large boating lake that is stocked with trout, and which is fed from the burn that runs to the south of the property (which is included in the sale).
