A stunning modern house with unique architectural features and a breathtaking open-plan layout.

Taigh Glainne is a magnificent, unique, architect-designed house set in the peaceful village of Murthly, surrounded by stunning Perth and Kinross countryside. The property features various beautiful bespoke features, including a magnificent double-height, curved wall of glass, giving it a distinctive visual identity, while outside there are extensive, beautifully presented gardens.

The heart of the home is the breathtaking open-plan drawing area, sitting area, dining area and kitchen, which was awarded 2 place in the SBID international design Awards in 2017, all benefit from that double-height wall of glass, flooding the home with natural light and creating an exceptional sense of space, while the wooden flooring and ceiling offset the modern sleekness to create a sense of warmth and naturalism. There is a stone-built fireplace fitted with a logburner, ideal as the focal point for a seating area, while a curved, floating staircase leads to the study area suspended above, with its exposed metal girders. The kitchen itself has sleek white contemporary units with integrated appliances and two large islands, providing space to commune with guests or family members.

There is also a separate, comfortable family room on the ground floor, as well as a utility room, a boot room, a bathroom with a spa-style bathtub and three well-presented bedrooms, two of which share a bathroom, while the other has an en suite shower room with a walk-in shower. Upstairs the landing area is ideal as a games room, and leads to two further bedrooms, including the exquisite principal bedroom with its panoramic windows, freestanding bathtub and en suite shower room with dual washbasins and a large walk-in, rainfall shower.

Outside, the gardens include extensive lawns and meadows, well-stocked beds, various mature trees and rock-lined pathways. There are also timber deck and patio areas, and a sheltered, circular firepit and outdoors dining area. A charming entrance driveway provides access for vehicles and leads to the detached triple garage.

Taigh Glainne offers a double plot with services for a secondary dwelling, however, all would be subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission
