Externally, Strathtullis Cottage stands within substantial, enclosed garden grounds to both the front and rear, offering a wonderful sense of privacy and space. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and complemented by raised decking areas that provide ideal spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation. A substantial chipped driveway runs down the side of the property, providing ample off-street parking and leading to a detached garage. To the rear, a further enclosed lawned garden offers a safe and secluded environment for families, pets or outdoor entertaining.

The interior of the home is presented in excellent decorative order throughout, with bright, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two levels. Entry is via a welcoming reception hallway which immediately conveys the warm and inviting character of the property. The hallway incorporates a deep storage cupboard and additional under-stair storage, while a staircase leads to the upper landing. The principal lounge is a generously sized and particularly bright space, enhanced by a deep full-length window and door that opens directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to flood the room and providing a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor living areas. The tasteful décor and proportions of this room make it ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining. A separate sitting room offers further flexible accommodation and can comfortably accommodate a full three-piece suite along with substantial lounge furniture. Alternatively, this space could function equally well as a formal dining room with ample room for a dining table and chairs. From here, the layout flows naturally through to a well-appointed galley-style kitchen. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and fitted with an excellent range of floor and wall-mounted units providing extensive storage. Elegant granite worktop surfaces offer generous preparation space and complement the modern finish of the room. Integrated appliances include an induction hob, oven, extractor hood, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge and freezer, ensuring both practicality and convenience.

On the first floor, the upper landing leads to three well-appointed bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms enjoy particularly attractive views to the rear, looking out across the gardens toward the water beyond. Only the principle bedroom offers views across the water. The other two view onto the front garden. The principal bedroom benefits from excellent additional features including a walk-in dressing room and a private en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and well-designed master suite. The main family bathroom is attractively finished and comprises a three-piece white suite including a low-level WC, wash hand basin and panelled bath fitted with a Mira electric shower. Coordinating wall tiling provides a clean and stylish finish, while an additional storage cupboard offers practical space for household essentials.
