A generous utility room provides ample space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, with additional room to create a boot room area- perfect for busy family life or country living.<br /><br />The heart of the home is the recently upgraded kitchen, featuring stylish sage green base and wall units, complemented by mosaic tile splashbacks. A central island offers extra storage and casual seating, making this a sociable and functional space. Patio doors open onto a raised deck, framing a spectacular south-facing view across open countryside- an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The cosy sitting room shares the same sunny aspect and tranquil outlook, creating a warm and inviting space to unwind. Also on the ground floor is a versatile double bedroom, served by an adjacent contemporary shower room with a white suite and an oversized shower enclosure. The original front porch- now cleverly repurposed as a dressing room- adds a unique and practical touch. <br /><br />Upstairs, the landing is spacious enough to accommodate a reading nook or seating area to take full advantage of the views. Both double bedrooms on this level enjoy the same picturesque outlook, making the most of the home’s elevated position<br /><br />Outside: Set within generous garden grounds to the front, side, and rear, this property enjoys a wealth of outdoor space, thoughtfully planted with a variety of established shrubs and flowering plants that provide vibrant colour and seasonal interest throughout the year.<br /><br />A standout feature is the delightful raised timber deck, perfectly positioned to make the most of the south-facing aspect. This idyllic alfresco spot is ideal for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing while soaking in the uninterrupted countryside views.<br /><br />The garden boundaries are defined by a mix of mature hedging, timber fencing, and post-and-wire fencing, offering both privacy and a natural aesthetic that complements the rural setting.<br /><br />Adding further appeal is a charming timber-built L-shaped studio, enjoying the same stunning views as the main house. Currently arranged as a lounge/kitchen, bedroom, boxroom, and shower room, this versatile space is ideal as a home studio- perfect for use as a writer’s or artist’s retreat. With the appropriate consents, the studio offers exciting potential for conversion to residential use, providing flexible options for extended family, guest accommodation, or even holiday letting.<br /><br />Garage: Detached single garage of timber construction and large picture window.<br /><br /><b>Location</b><br /><br />Lenchie is situated close to the small yet thriving rural community of Finzean.
