The property has been in the family of the current owners since 1992 and offers flexible accommodation across two floors. Tomintianda has since been extended on the eastern gable end, forming a double height bedroom with amezzanine level whilst on the western gable, there is a heavily glazed and timber clad sunroom extension. The generous downstairs living space is centred around the open plan sitting/kitchen area which benefits from a large bay window that fills the room with natural light in all seasons whilst creating a relaxing space with a wood burning stove at one end and giving fabulous views across Loch Tummel.The downstairs accommodation is completed with a small utility area, office and shower room whilst upstairs there are three bedrooms and a timber panelled bathroom.To the rear of Tomintianda is a timber clad former byre (14.4m x 3.8m) with a corrugated roof that is used for domestic storage, extended to provide two now disused stable stalls (4.2m x 2.80m). On the western side of the house is a second timber clad outbuilding (6.1m x 4.2m) with a stone and concrete floor whilst to the east is a timber framed garage (5.6m x 4.7m) currently used for log storage. At the front of the house there is a pretty, south facing garden with uninterrupted vistaswhilst to the rear there is a fenced lawn with a separate fenced garden with fruit bushes to the rear of the garage.UPPER TOMINTIANDAUpper Tomintianda sits in an elevated position behind the main house (about 75m to the north-west) and is an attractive, traditional cottage with accommodation set across a single level.Upper Tomintianda is habitable but requires a degree of renovation to bring it in line with modern standards and has significant potential to be used as ancillary accommodation to Tomintianda or even to be let out on a long or short term basis, subject to the gaining of any consents. The accommodation within UpperTomintianda currently comprises a kitchen/living room, 2 bedrooms and bathroom with an attached garden room accessible externally.THE LANDTomintianda and Upper Tomintianda sit within about 5.30 acres (2.14 hectares) which includes some grassland suitable for grazing and a wooded glen on the western side of the property. The Allt an Tressait burn flows from west to east through the land and makes for a wonderfully tranquil setting that can be enjoyed in privacy, with full control of the surrounding land whilst also enabling a range of potential uses that a new owner may wish to adopt, from equestrian to woodland creation.
