“The Coorie” is a country detached house in a prime location on the south shore of Loch Voil, located in the picturesque Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.

The home is surrounded by magnificent unspoilt woodland with views over the Loch and the hills beyond. The house benefits from extensive gardens wrapping right around the house. To the front is a driveway which leads to a double sized garage.

On the lower level, the largely open floorplan introduces the indoors to the outdoors at every turn, with frequent access to the gardens. The space has three areas for lounging, dining and relaxation: all rooms looking directly out onto the garden.

The main open-plan reception rings with sunlight, where bi-folding doors invites in a huge amount of light throughout the day. A freestanding log burning stove sits centrally creating a nice atmosphere to the room. A stairwell connects to the upper level and the main living space links to the breakfasting kitchen, a downstairs bedroom, a day-to-day family room along with a shower room and utility area.

The kitchen is bespoke and incorporates appliances housed behind the cabinetry. The walls are lined with wall and base units for storage and a breakfast bar has been created for day-to-day dining. Off the kitchen is a large dining room but could be used in a variety of configurations. The room has glazing to the front, side and rear proving the perfect amount of light. Adjacent to the main living space is a family room, ideal for day-to day living.

The lower bedroom is a great sized double and is served by a three-piece shower room on the lower level. The utility area separates the washing facilities from the kitchen and through the wall is a 36m2 double sized garage with power and lighting.

There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all especially generous in size. The principal bedroom has access to a private walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite bathroom with a large walk-in shower. Of the remaining bedrooms, two have fitted wardrobes which are served by a family bathroom off the central landing. The family bathroom is four-piece in design.

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the house has been built with modern timber cavity construction, is fully double glazed, is well insulated and has a oil fired central heating system.
