Auchafour Cottage is a fantastic home built to the high standards of the present owners from an old cottage. Although the original cottage still remains, there is very little to recognise, it was extended on all aspects with only the chimney breast remaining as a feature in the centre of this very contemporary property. The chimney dates back to 1860. The property  has been enhanced with open plan living space with a modern, specifically designed German kitchen and state of the art bathrooms. The property has been designed in such a way that it could be easily changed to being 2-3 bedroom property with the erection of an internal wall and wouldn't detract from the original open plan design. The kitchen is of the best quality with stainless steel, granite and solid wood work surfaces. The Master bedroom has a state of the art en-suite bathroom which has been finished to a very high standard  with light flooding in from the windows and a cupola in the centre of the ceiling complete with twin marble sinks, large Jacuzzi bath and an open shower. The bathroom is fully tiled and can be used as a wet room. A further \"guest\" shower room is at the rear of the property and again is designed and constructed to the same high standard.

The property comprises of: Open Plan living area, German Designer Kitchen, Dining Room, Study/Bedroom 2, Master Bedroom, Ensuite Bathroom, Shower room, and Utility Room.
