Tigh Beag, Nethy Bridge, Inverness-Shire, PH25 3DR

Tigh Beag is a quite exceptional, award-winning family home, having received a prestigious Cairngorms National Park Design Award for residential new build in 2016. Thoughtfully designed to the highest specification, the property is as practical and easy to live in as it is beautiful - offering outstanding flow for family life, generous storage throughout, and interiors that are as simple to maintain as they are to admire.

The interior is supremely stylish and contemporary, with considered architectural lighting which highlights the home's design features to striking effect. Barrisol sound-absorbing acoustic ceiling linings in the living area add a refined finish that is both beautiful and functional. The triple glazing, high levels of insulation, and a combination of underfloor heating and an MVHR heat recovery system contribute to the exceptional thermal comfort and impressively low running costs. All heating, ventilation, lighting and security are managed seamlessly via the integrated Gira smart home system, controllable remotely by smartphone.

GROUND FLOOR The glass-enclosed entrances to the front and rear open into a light and spacious double-aspect hallway giving access to four beautifully appointed bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, all with blackout blinds. A separate family bathroom and a generous laundry, boot and utility room - with sliding doors housing the MVHR system, water tank and solar water heating system, washing machine and tumble dryer. Throughout the bedrooms, the overall look remains natural and consistent with the original design, with lighting and textures carefully chosen to preserve a calm, relaxing space. One bedroom is currently configured as a wonderfully imaginative children's room, featuring bespoke custom-built cabin bunk beds with a cosy arched alcove, integrated under-bed storage drawers and a staircase unit incorporating additional shelving and cupboards.

FIRST FLOOR From the moment you reach the top of the striking suspended glass and timber staircase, you are immediately struck by the quality and attention to detail which defines every corner of this exceptional home. An impressive and multi-functional open-plan living area unfolds before you, encompassing a spacious seating area and study/reading space, luxury kitchen, dining area and a statement cloakroom with WC and a travertine vessel basin on a zebrano timber vanity shelf. The superb kitchen is comprehensively equipped with an extensive range of stylish units and top-of-the-range Miele appliances, centred around a generous island and breakfast bar with a Dekton heat-resistant surface, induction hob and overhead extraction. A door leads to a separate, well-equipped pantry, with extensive storage, two freezers and a wine cooling fridge. The thoughtful design continues throughout, with ambient lighting recessed into both the ceiling and floor. Full-height triple-glazed doors open onto two balconies finished in bamboo and resin composite decking, seamlessly blending the interior with the natural woodland setting beyond - a space that truly suits every lifestyle and every occasion.

OUTSIDE The grounds are beautifully landscaped and enclosed with estate fencing with double gates opening to a stone chipped access driveway and parking area suitable for several cars. There are numerous ornamental shrubs, trees and plants ensuring colour throughout the year. To the rear of the property there is a sheltered deck area with hot tub. Every detail has been considered for relaxation and enjoyment. The property also benefits from a gate in the rear fence which opens up to walks through mature woodland.
