Birlinn Brae, Baycrofts, The Bay, Strachur, Cairndow, Argyll

Introducing Fraoch - ‘Froo-ugh’, House 15 at Birlinn Brae a three detached bedroom home as part of the Birlinn Brae fleet of spectacular design led homes.

Natural Scottish Larch clad houses in reference to the Traditional ‘Birlinn’ galleys of Somerled, Lord of the Isles. Metal roofs in further nautical homage of tin roofs of west coast cottages and barns.

These two landmark villas mark the transition from the existing village to the new development. This being an ‘upsidedown’ style house for elevated views to the loch, a wood-burning stove sits at the heart of the first-floor living room with patio doors
opening onto a luxurious private external terrace.

Bedrooms and internal garage downstairs are grouped around a top-lit hallway in which an open-tread staircase beckons upwards to the light above. An external brick-clad entrance portico adds gravitas to these signature buildings.
