Nestled amongst mature trees, Ukaipo has a truly inspiring location that offers a genuine sense of rural seclusion. The home's façade complements the area, being adorned with quality building materials and Millboard cladding for a superior-lasting authentic wood finish. Inside, the inspiration continues with a vestibule and reception hall that immediately establish the home's luxurious credentials. The home's sprawling open-plan reception area covers the majority of the ground floor, combining a living and dining space with a high-specification breakfasting kitchen. It offers a substantial amount of room for a wide variety of lounge furnishings, as well as a large table and chairs creating the perfect setup for every occasion. Decorated in crisp white and with Karndean LVT flooring (like the hall), it enjoys a sophisticated aesthetic, worthy of the finest home interior magazines. A stylish media wall adds another touch of elegance. In addition, this extraordinary space has oversized dual-aspect windows to the southeast and northwest, capturing all-day sun and the picturesque backdrop of the rolling Lomond Hills. Glazed sliding doors also extend the room out into the garden, allowing a seamless transition to outside. Organised around a central island with a breakfast bar, the German kitchen has a statement design by Pronorm. It features a generous selection of contemporary cabinets, paired with stylish Dekton worktops to offer all the space and storage a family could need. Thanks to the breakfast bar, it also forms a sociable centrepiece for conversing whilst cooking. Adding to the designer appeal, the kitchen is fitted with Franke sinks and a range of high-end integrated appliances, ensuring a smooth finish. Appliances include: Bora induction hob with built-in extractor, Siemens twin eye-level ovens with a warming drawer, Siemens tall fridge, Siemens tall freezer, and Siemens dishwasher. A neighbouring utility room also provides a quiet space for laundry. Connected to a naturally-lit galleried landing (with a glass-framed staircase), the home's four bedrooms are all wonderfully large doubles that maintain the sharp eye for contemporary aesthetics. Each room features soft deep-pile carpeting and built-in mirrored wardrobes, ensuring optimal comfort and convenience. Furthermore, every room is fronted by southeast-facing glazed doors that open out to a Juliet balcony, allowing a flood of light inside whilst framing panoramic hillside views. Continuing the home's luxury appeal, the principal and second bedrooms both have their own opulent en-suite shower room too. Ukaipo has a ground-floor WC, the two en-suite shower rooms, and a first-floor family bathroom, all of which have matching high-specification designs. Adorned with Porcelanosa tile work and clever recessed wall storage, they maintain design continuity, incorporating sanitaryware by Laufen, taps and showerheads by Hansgrohe, and Merlyn shower screens. The four-piece family bathroom firmly sets the standards which the others follow, with its floating storage-set washbasin, concealed-cistern toilet, double walk-in rainfall shower enclosure, and freestanding (solid surface) mineral stone bathtub by Riluxa. For the ultimate in comfort, the property has a smart Nest heating system, with oil-fired central heating, alongside electric underfloor heating in all the bathrooms. It also features double-glazed windows and a solar-panelled roof. In addition to the wealth of interior space, Ukaipo provides impressively large wraparound gardens which have sweeping lawns that capture sun throughout the entire day. The gardens are dotted with mature trees and they offer tantalising views of the Lomond Hills. To the southeast-facing rear, there is a patio and a further stretch of lawn offering all the space families could desire. Ample private parking is provided via a multi-car driveway and a detached double garage.
