Living and dining

With far reaching views across Loch Dunvegan, the seamlessly designed open-plan living and dining space ensures the breathtaking backdrop can be savoured at every turn, whether you're soaking up the scenery from a luxurious leather armchair, or preparing a lavish feast for four around the granite-topped kitchen island. At the heart of the room is a double-sided glass front wood burning stove, promising cosiness in abundance in the cooler months.

In a palette of earthy tones, the living area invites for cosy evenings settled on the sofa, with sheepskin rugs and complementary cushions for added comfort. There's ample seating for four, with the addition of two armchairs beside a modern rustic coffee table. Relish relaxed moments in front of the television, with a large cinema-style screen and Meridian Audio sound system for added drama. As conversation flows over games of scrabble, prepare timeless tipples from the luxurious cocktail trolley. Floor to ceiling doors open onto a decked patio, perfectly positioned to welcome the outside in on mild afternoons.

Blending contemporary design with opulent touches, the kitchen and dining space beckons for heavenly suppers, with grand floor-to-ceiling doors that allow light to fill the room. At the far side of the space, uncover a shaker style kitchen in rich tones, topped with an elegant granite worktop and kitchen island. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range of integrated appliances, from two fridges, a freezer, oven with warming drawer, induction hob, and a dishwasher. For brewed beverages of every variety, you'll find a Quooker hot tap, Nespresso coffee machine and a Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser. A washer/dryer can be found in the separate utility cupboard.

At the other side of the kitchen, there's a modern dining table for six. In the warmer months, open the vast glass doors to welcome the balmy Hebridean breeze as you dine with your nearest and dearest.
