A sensational and energy efficient highland home.
Description
Constructed in 2011, Ardlebank was designed by a local architectural firm that specialised in sustainability, and the house is clad in reclaimed slate, Siberian larch and local stone. The rural surroundings make for an impressive backdrop. A short private driveway leads from the hill road to a parking area beside the house. The front door is set within one of eight concrete vaults and the lobby leads into a flagstoned entrance hall with access to the double garage, a cloakroom and a utility room. A spiral staircase with oak treads, inset spotlights and a glass balustrade with oak handrail rises to the first and second floors. It encircles a freestanding lift which is encased in glass and adds an imaginative design element to the interior, complementing the beautiful oak frames throughout the house.
On the first floor the oak floored landing leads to four en suite bedrooms and the gym. The principal bedroom suite has a dressing room fitted with oak shelves and wardrobes. The en suite bathroom has an impressive freestanding oval bath, a walk in shower, travertine floor tiles and double wash basins. Three further double bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, each with a bath and a walk in shower. Both the principal bedroom and bedroom 2 have corner windows which beautifully capture the views. There are four walk in cupboards on the landing, two of which house the water tanks and two are linen cupboards. The oak frames are exposed within all the bedrooms and bathrooms and add rustic character to the otherwise contemporary rooms. The gym is situated in a quiet corner of the house behind the spiral stair and would be ideal as a music room, study or even another bedroom depending on a buyer’s requirements.
On the second floor, there is a huge vaulted living room with a wood burner forming a warming focal point at one end. The impressive oak frame encases the windows and glazed walls that fill the room with light. There is a spacious dining area in the centre of the room which links the sitting area to the kitchen. The kitchen has cream painted timber units with black granite work surfaces, a breakfast bar, a large central island and sliding doors to the roof terrace. With an induction hob, Tepanyaki plate, grill pit and wok hob as well as steam, fan and microwave ovens the kitchen is superbly equipped. In addition, there are two pop up extractors on the kitchen island, an integrated dishwasher and freezer and a Belfast sink. From the living room, a pulpit staircase also made of oak, leads to one further room which is the study. Situated at the back of the house and lined with oak shelving, this room has a quiet and restful atmosphere and is ideal as a home office.
Outside
Ardlebank is set in a garden of approximately one acre which is mainly down to lawn with some trees and shrubs on the hillside. The principal garden space is on the roof terrace. Accessible via four sets of sliding doors from the main living room, the terrace has several geometric flower beds and is a wonderful place to sit outside and enjoy the views.

Location
Ardlebank is situated in Ballintuim which is a rural community between Bridge of Cally and Kirkmichael in the beautiful highland glen of Strathardle. Being elevated and built into the hillside, the house is nicely tucked away and has far reaching views over rolling farmland to the hills beyond. Bridge of Cally is a small rural village centred around the local store (which also has a Post Office) and hotel. Kirkmichael (4.5 miles) has a vibrant local community with three hotels, a village hall and a community run village shop and café. The village also hosts the Strathardle Highland Gathering in August each year. There is primary schooling in Kirkmichael and secondary schooling in Blairgowrie (with a bus from Kirkmichael). Private education in Perthshire includes Craigclowan, Ardvreck, Glenalmond, Strathallan and Kilgraston.
Blairgowrie (9 miles) has supermarkets, independent shops and restaurants, professional services and medical centres. Pitlochry (17 miles) has its much loved Festival Theatre and a railway station with direct links to London and Inverness. For a more comprehensive selection of shops and professional services, Perth is 25 miles south. Dundee Airport provides flights to London City, while Edinburgh Airport operates a wide range of domestic and international flights.
Ardlebank could hardly be better placed for those who enjoy the outdoors. There is salmon fishing on the rivers Ericht, Ardle, Blackwater and Tay and shooting and stalking is readily available on nearby estates. Golfers will enjoy the championship courses at Blairgowrie and the 18 hole course at Pitlochry as well as courses at Alyth and Glenisla to name a few. The Perthshire hills and the Angus Glens are all within easy reach and the Cairngorm National Park is only a few miles north of Kirkmichael. As well as incorporating some of Scotland’s most beautiful and dramatic scenery, the Cairngorm National Park is home to ski centres at Aviemore, The Lecht and Glenshee.
