Forming part of a development of only three houses in a courtyard setting overlooking Bardowie Castle and Loch,
this five bedroom villa was designed and built in 1992 in traditional style to complement its surroundings - hence the stone facing, timber as
tragal windows and pitched slate roof.
Looking just a tad too clean to be ''old'', the property is visually inspiring with a stone flagged sun terrace extending the full width of the east side, semi-circular steps up to the front door, a communal courtyard to the rear and, to the front, an expansive lawn and a tennis court - owned by the castle but available to residents on subscription - and superb views of the castle and loch. Facilities on the loch include boat rights and one rod and a private jetty.
Internally, the two-storey house is luxuriously equipped. On the ground floor, a broad reception hall with double doors leads through to a large lounge with marble fireplace, dining room, family room on a semi open-plan layout with a breakfasting kitchen fitted with white units and a full complement of integrated appliances, utility room, laundry room and downstairs WC.
Upstairs is a large master bedroom with en suite shower room and dressing room, four further bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms) and a main family bathroom with shower and sauna. There is also a double-size integral garage, external security lighting and a burglar alarm system.
The traditional design of the house gives it some interesting features, such as dormer windows and attractive coombed ceilings, a return flight staircase in the hall, Regency-style internal doors, coving in most of the bedrooms, and smooth plaster ceilings throughout.
Also, the room dimensions are more in keeping with a traditional property.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
