Recently reduced to fixed price £315,000, enjoying a charming, rural setting close to Dunkeld, Murthly and Bankfoot (all approximately within 3 1/2 miles), and set within the historic Murthly and Strathbaan sporting estate, this superb, architect-designed Villa occupies a prime site, with uninterrupted countryside views from the rear and peaceful woodland terrain to the front. Local amenities at Dunkeld include a thriving primary school and a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, whilst both Murthly and Bankfoot are well-served for primary schools and everyday shops. The surrounding countryside offers a wealth of leisure facilities, including walking, cycling and horse riding. Access to the A9 dual carriageway is a short drive away, providing easy access north (to Pitlochry and Inverness) and south, to Perth, where the outer-ring motorway network provides links to all major cities and airports in the central belt.

The property, built and finished to an extremely high standard in 2008, offers carefully designed and beautifully-appointed accommodation on two floors, with the emphasis placed on quality fixtures, fittings and ease of maintenance. There are a wealth of attractive features, including high-quality, white-panelled internal doors(complemented by white sills, surrounds and skirtings), contemporary ceiling spots in the hall, public rooms and most bedrooms, hardwood double-glazed windows throughout (finished in white, and all with 'tilt & turn' facility), and French doors in both lounge and dining-kitchen. A particularly attractive feature is the installation of two wood-burning stoves, one of which is in the lounge, the other in the kitchen. Oil-fired 'combi' central-heating is installed, there is a paved ramp leading from the rear door(in accordance with today's standards), and garden grounds are extensive and well laid-out, offering extra scope to the keen gardener if desired.

This is a fine opportunity to acquire a substantial, modern home which combines both traditional and contemporary charm, enhanced by a tranquil, countryside setting. Viewing is very highly recommended.
