Beautifully designed modern-day home with period features

A substantial and beautifully presented country house has come to the rural Perthshire property market.

Enjoying a peaceful location in the rural hamlet of Moneydie, rural property experts Bell Ingram is delighted to bring Newhouse to the market for offers over £850,000.

The small hamlet of Moneydie is an idyllic, rural location, but as the A9 is just under three miles away, it is also easy to reach the amenities of nearby Perth.

The Newhouse is a delightful property which presents extremely well. It was traditionally constructed in 1998 to include many features you would expect to find in a period house, making it blend well with the surrounding properties.

Real attention to detail is evident in the large public rooms and bedrooms, high ceilings, fireplaces, cornicing, and the pitch pine staircase with mid landing and feature window. 

In addition to the good balance of living accommodation, there is a large utility room with a separate laundry room and pantry. Externally there is a game larder/kennel, a double garage with cart arch openings and a hayloft, all reminiscent of older properties. 

A tree-lined driveway is enclosed by wrought iron gates. The boundaries are clearly marked with a mix of stone walling and hedging. The grounds, which extend to about 0.73 acres, are extensively laid to lawn with features such as box hedging and mature planting providing colour and variety, specimen trees and magnolia bushes. Gravel driveway leads to a courtyard parking area and then to the sheltered southwest part of the garden.

Commenting on the property, Estate Agent, Carl Warden says: “This is a beautiful family home. It has an excellent balance of accommodation and has well thought out features reminiscent of a period property – perfect for modern day living.”

The traditionally constructed double garage, extending to 53.6 m2, has two cart arch openings with timber doors and a side door and window. Internal staircase leads to a floored hayloft with hayloft doors on the gable end and south facing Velux windows. This upper floor, extending to 40.9 m2, could provide opportunity for development as a studio or granny/au pair accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

    Contemporary Rural Home, Glencassley

    Replacing a derelict building with a bespoke modern home in stunning surroundings.

    Brief

    Bell Ingram Design (BID) was appointed in the last quarter of 2019 to deliver full architectural services for a bespoke contemporary home which would replace an existing cottage that has been derelict for over 20 years.

    The decision to construct a new build dwelling was not one taken lightly by the client, but the feasibility study conducted by our architects proved bringing the existing property up to current standards would not be economically feasible, and a new build property was the more viable option.

    The client’s brief was to create a three bedroom home with a large open plan living area. This gave BID the opportunity to explore the potential for a truly contemporary design approach which fits unobtrusively into its stunning surroundings.

    Process

    On behalf of our client we have obtained Planning Approval and Building Warrant Consent for this bespoke, modern and contemporary house design. The project is currently out for tender and we are looking forward to progressing on to site in the coming months.

    Outcome

    A crucial part of the brief was to incorporate a variety of signage for Skoda which was visible from all relevant approaches to the site for heightened consumer interaction. This was to include branded flags, logo walls on active frontages and a prominent entrance portal for customers. Internally, a mezzanine level was included to create more floor area which contains an additional manager office and meeting space with glazed screening to overlook the double height showroom below.

        Full Design Service Renovation Project

        Derelict agricultural building transformed into a stylish holiday home which compliments the landscape and makes the most of the stunning views across Glen Clova and Glen Moy.

        Brief

        Bell Ingram Design (BID) were asked to convert and extend a derelict bothy into a modern, three-bedroom holiday home. The property is located on an Angus estate and the client had immediately seen the potential of its stunning views across to Glen Moy and Glen Glova.

        This was a full design service brief which involved securing planning and building warrant approval, managing the tender process, and delivering full project management on site.

         

        Process

        An open plan living space was created in the main bothy section with existing and new openings used to maintain the agricultural appearance. A Siberian larch-clad extension was added to the north side of the property to house a bedroom, utility room, bathroom and sunroom with a large picture window opening onto a glazed veranda to take advantage of the views all year round. 

        Outcome

        This once derelict bothy is now an attractive, modern, three-bedroom dwelling house, which has been designed to take advantage of the beautiful surrounding countryside. The traditional stone bothy has been complemented by the use of natural materials on the contemporary extension. Internally the layout has been designed to provide a functional and comfortable environment. Our client was extremely happy with the finished building and regularly visit throughout the year with their friends and family.

            Remote Lunch Bothy, Highland Estate

            Client calls on BID’s planning expertise to deliver a bespoke lunch stop for shooting parties.

            Brief

            An existing client wanted to build a private bothy on their remote Highland Estate. The vision was to create a property which would better cater for paying guests during the grouse shooting season, generating additional income for the Estate and employment opportunities for local people. It would also be used by the client’s family and estate workers managing the moorland all year round. On this project BID provided planning and design services.

            Process

            We agreed a suitable location with the client and designed a simple and secure wood structure which was accessible via existing hill tracks. There was no requirement for connection to services. We submitted a planning application supported by a reasoned justification for the new bothy which, as the use included a shooting bothy, did not benefit from agricultural permitted development rights.

            Outcome

            Planning permission was granted with the statutory timescale of eight weeks and our success led onto further requests from new clients and owners of Highland Estates for Bell Ingram Design to advise on new and replacement bothy buildings.

              RSPB Bird Hide, Udale Bay Reserve

              Replacing an end of life hide with a larger structure that featured an interpretation space and full access for wheelchair users.

              Brief

              The RSPB’s Udale Bay Reserve is a peaceful, intertidal bay on the Cromarty Firth which is home to thousands of waders, ducks and geese. With our experience of working in protected natural habitats, Bell Ingram Design was engaged to replace an end of life hide on the site with a new, larger structure that would include an interpretation space along with full access for wheelchair users. 

              Process

              The design approach was for an all timber structure with larch cladding which was left untreated allowing it weather naturally to a silvery finish. The building was set on stilts to minimise its impact on the immediate surrounding ground.

              Careful consideration was given to the ergonomics of the seated viewing windows so that all of these could be used by both wheelchair and non wheelchair users. A large floor-to-ceiling viewing window was incorporated providing a panoramic view over the bay, another wall included child height windows allowing up close viewing of the bird life in the trees and shrubs next to the building. Dedicated space was also provided for an artwork by a local artist which fills the hide with colour depicting the changing seasons along with the range of seasonal birds that visit the Reserve.

              Outcome

              The building has proved to be very successful, we were very pleased to read the following entry in the Visitors’ Book from RSPB members visiting from England shortly after the building’s opening: “What a fantastic hide, we have never seen such an excellent hide catering for all ages, well done!”

              With feedback like that, we consider that ‘Job done’!
