House For Sale £350,000
This house sits on a plot created by subdividing the very large garden of a 19th century manse. The existing stone walled garden allows the living spaces of the house to fully open up to the south without compromising privacy. These large glass-walled rooms remain quite hidden from view until entry, adding a sense of drama to the spaces.
Full property description - This house sits on a plot created by subdividing the very large garden of a 19th century manse. The existing stone walled garden allows the living spaces of the house to fully open up to the south without compromising privacy. These large glass-walled rooms remain quite hidden from view until entry, adding a sense of drama to the spaces.
Diagonal views through the open planned areas increase the sense of space, the whole plan is devised to incorporate an air of mystery where not everything is revealed at the outset.
Tigh Culloch is a house of two different facades. Approaching from the street side, the ground-floor elevation, which is clad in cedar with white render and stone on the base, has small windows, with larger windows reserved for the bedrooms on the upper level. As such, it feels very private. On the garden side, however, the three-bedroom house features floor-to-ceiling glazing that allows light to pour into the double-height living space, and into the dining-kitchen on the ground level and master bedroom above. The entrance feels tactile and warm, but then for the house to look geometric from the other side to engage with the garden, Low-e Argon-filled double-glazed panels ensure that the extensive glazing doesn't result in heat loss.
Although undeniably contemporary, the palette of materials is traditional, including the slate roof and lead detailing. Traditional Scottish materials were used but in a non-traditional way.
Internally, the split-level layout on the ground floor creates definition between the open-plan dining kitchen and living zones, while the floor plan revolves around the corner fireplace. "While the space is open-plan, it isn't barn-like; rather the spaces overlap in this corner.
Caithness slate was chosen for the floor and combined with underfloor heating, creating a hard wearing and organic backdrop alongside the white walls. Recognising the importance of having both social and contemplative spaces, particularly with a family, so a separate snug doubles as a study/den/4th bedroom, a heat recovery system helps ensure the house is always fresh and helps reduce heating bills.
The Bulthaup kitchen was chosen for its clean-cut, architectural lines and precision detailing, and combined with a composite worktop, glass backsplash and a Vola tap. The kitchen clearly was an investment, this kitchen looks as good now as it did the day it was fitted.
High-quality fittings are used throughout, the bathroom fittings are from Duravit, and to add impact to the master en-suite marble tiles from Porcelanosa were used to clad one wall.
The oak staircase is also bespoke, having been designed by Adam Toleman and made by his craftsman brother, Matthew Toleman.
The child/dog safe enclosed garden has been designed, laid out and planted by award winning garden designer Tracy Rich. Landscape and Garden Design.
This modern house is filled with bespoke touches and personality. Whoever takes on Tigh Culloch next will be inheriting a beautifully considered and unique home.
