The principal and second bedrooms have the largest footprints, in addition to en-suites, followed by the airy third bedroom, and a flexible fourth bedroom that is currently organised as a dining area.

It is brightly illuminated and offers fantastic elevated views as well.

On the ground floor, the home has a modern four-piece bathroom, which includes a shower cubicle. In addition, the principal and second bedrooms both have their own three-piece en-suite shower room, comprised of a toilet, a washbasin, and a shower enclosure.

The property has electric storage heaters and wall heaters, and double-glazed windows throughout.
Garden – Magnificent wraparound gardens for the entire family
Surrounded by manicured wraparound gardens, Denard provides families with an outdoor haven that is truly scenic. Carefully landscaped and framed by mature plants, it boasts a partially sheltered courtyard for summer dining and sweeping lawns that extend over a charming terraced area. The suntrap gardens also offer excellent privacy, as well as a timber summerhouse with beautiful leafy views.
Parking – A versatile workshop brimming with possibilities
Generous private parking is provided by a multi-car driveway. Within the grounds there is also a substantial detached workshop/potential garage, which is perfect for further development. It has a store, power, and lighting, and was previously used as a pottery studio. Subject to planning permission, it is easy to imagine this space as a separate dwelling for independent family members or for the holiday rental market. It could also be utilised as the ultimate home office or even for a home business – the possibilities are endless.

I have an obvious enthusiasm and passion for all things property. As a native-born Texan who now proudly calls Scotland home, my American “can-do” attitude sets me apart and pushes me to think outside of the box to help our clients achieve the most successful result when selling and buying property.
