Property Description

Situated on a prime, rarely available site, with stunning panoramic views over Loch Leven towards the surrounding mountains and countryside, Pier House forms an outstanding detached property with separate cottage in the grounds.

All four double bedrooms offer contemporary en-suite shower rooms, while the principal bedroom also includes a loch view bath and dressing room. Benefiting from double glazing and gas fired central heating, delivered from two large MegaFlo cylinders with a pumped return on the hot water circuit, the system provides instant hot water at mains pressure with excellent showers. Wired (Gigabit Cat6) Ethernet is installed throughout the property, with a minimum of two outlets in most rooms (seven in the lounge). Additionally, two wireless access points provide Wi-Fi throughout the house and also a separate guest network should it be required.

In addition to the main house is a detached cottage, The View, comprising an upper semi-open plan living area with raised wooden balcony enjoying the loch views, double bedroom and shower room. The cottage is finished to an excellent standard, is double glazed with gas fired central heating and also has the added benefit of an integral workshop on the ground level.
