Description
Built in 2009, Riverbank House consists of approximately 380 square metres of bright and roomy accommodation with with high ceilings, plenty of glazing and attractive architectural features. The house has been designed to make the most of its riverside setting.

At its entrance, impressive timber doors open into a vestibule and then to a striking entrance hall, where a split staircase rises on two sides to a galleried landing. Here, a large arched window floods the space with southerly light.
The contemporary kitchen enjoys views to both the front and back gardens. Steps lead down to an informal sitting room, which could serve equally well as a dining area. Adjacent there is a more formal dining room. Beyond this is the drawing room, with an impressive open fireplace and a run of windows, including a semi-circular bay, that frame views of the river and the garden. The reception rooms are arranged with flexibility in mind: A pair of sliding internal doors can be opened to create large open-plan entertaining spaces, or alternatively, closed to offer more informal and intimate rooms when desired. On the ground floor there is also a study/fifth bedroom, WC, cloakroom, utility room (with access to the garage) and a boot room.

Upstairs, the galleried landing provides access to all the bedrooms. The main bedroom suite includes a dressing room, shower room and a beautiful semi circular bay window overlooking the river. Bedroom two sits above the garage and is reached via a short passageway, forming an ideal private guest suite with its own shower room and two Juliet balconies. Bedroom three has an en suite shower room, and bedroom four is served by a separate bathroom.

To the west is a paddock of approximately 0.37 acres which, subject to obtaining the necessary consents, may offer development potential. There is a useful timber garden shed and a wood store.

The integral double garage is accessible directly from the utility room.

Location
Riverbank House is located in the village of Grandtully beside the iron bridge that connects to the neighbouring village of Strathtay.

Grandtully is home to the award winning Ballintaggart Hotel, the popular Inn on the Tay and the Highland Chocolatier which has a cafe and a shop. Grandtully has a village hall and primary school whilst Strathtay has a village store and post office.

The area is popular because of its beautiful scenery and opportunities to take part in a whole range of outdoor pursuits. Local riverside and woodland paths offer gentle walking, whilst some more challenging hillwalking lies beyond. Grandtully’s rapids attract kayakers and rafters, and a water sports centre is located nearby at Loch Tay. Salmon and trout fishing are available on the Lyon, Tummel and Tay, and there are golf courses at Strathtay and Aberfeldy. Some of Scotland’s most celebrated beauty spots are within easy reach, including Glen Lyon, Fortingall, Kenmore and Loch Tay, Schiehallion, Ben Lawers and The Queen’s View.
