5 GENERAL Woodside is set in a wonderful elevated position to the east of Aberlour and at the heart of Speyside and the Malt Whisky Trail. Designed and built to blend in with its surroundings, the house commands spectacular panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and in particular over Ben Rinnes and Strathspey. Nearby, Aberlour has a good range of shops including an excellent delicatessen, a post office, various restaurants and pubs. It also offers highly regarded primary and secondary schooling as well as a medical practice and an award winning dentist. Further afield, Elgin (about 16 miles) offers a wider range of facilities including a modern shopping centre, various supermarkets and a railway station with services to Inverness and Aberdeen. The property is approximately equidistant between the two airports at Aberdeen and Inverness where there are a wide range of flights to the south and overseas. The county of Moray is famous for its mild climate, has a beautiful and varied countryside with a coastline of rich agricultural land, prosperous fishing villages and wide, open beaches. The upland areas to the South are sparsely populated and provide dramatic scenery, some of which forms the Cairngorm National Park. The unspoilt landscape provides a wide range of leisure and sporting opportunities including fishing on the world famous Spey and Findhorn rivers, skiing at the Lecht (Tomintoul) and Cairngorm range, and hill walking. The area has a number of excellent golf courses including fine courses at Ballindalloch and Dufftown. For the sailing enthusiast the marinas at Lossiemouth and Findhorn offer excellent facilities. DESCRIPTION Woodside is a most impressive contemporary house located in a wonderful elevated setting and commanding spectacular views over Ben Rinnes and the Spey Valley. Designed by the vendors and Wittets Architects and built using state of the art building materials by skilled local tradesmen, Woodside is arguably one of the finest properties in the area. The house has been designed to not only seamlessly fit in with the surrounding environment but also to create a spacious and flexible family home with opportunities to use all or part of the house as required. Extending to about 416m², the accommodation has been designed and built in such a way that the house can be used either as a substantial family home or utilising the wings as a granny annexe or potentially as a B&B. The house is built using a timber frame with Pavatherm insulation and attractive Siberian Larch cladding under a slate roof and, at nearly 6 years old, the house has settled beautifully into its surroundings. The accommodation is provided over two storeys and on the ground floor is accessed from a covered entrance into a spacious vestibule and into a stunning open plan hall / dining area. With a full height cathedral ceiling overlooked by a glazed gallery, the heart of the house is beautifully lit by natural light which floods in through large picture windows. Steps lead to a dining area and on to a wonderful sitting room with a full height ceiling and glazed gable opening up the panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. There is also an elegant (Rais) wood burning stove. A spacious dining kitchen, fitted by Riverside Kitchens is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy the views and which is fully equipped with a wide range of integrated appliances and a large walk in pantry. French doors lead out to a decked seating area and the garden whilst an internal glazed partition leads to a cosy family room. A well equipped utility room and boot room provide great functionality whilst the ground floor is completed by 2 shower rooms, 3 double bedrooms and a Jack & Jill Bathroom. The first floor provides a further four bedrooms between effectively three separate wings. The master suite is particularly impressive with a large double bedroom with a glazed seating area, ample built in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. The westerly wing has a large linen cupboard, a bathroom and 2 bedrooms whilst the northern wing has a walk in store, bedroom, play / games room and a generous sized home office, which could also be used as a bedroom if required. The house is heated using electric under floor heating on the ground floor and, owing to its superb energy efficiency, there is no requirement for heating the first floor. The open plan nature of the hall, dining area and sitting room together with tall cathedral ceilings produce a wonderfully bright and airy atmosphere whilst the large picture windows and French doors open up the spectacular panoramic views. Other interesting and attractive features include high quality kitchen and bathroom fittings, Karndean flooring, oak doors and skirtings, a central vacuum system and air circulation to all rooms and heat recovery from the bathrooms, kitchen and utility room. Wiring for telephone, computer and TV is achieved by use of an all in one Voice, Data, Image system via a single cable with outlets in all rooms. There are also outlets for satellite TV in some rooms. The general layout of the house would allow it to be used as a high quality B&B as well as a fine family home. Outside, the grounds are no less impressive than the house. Extending to about 4 acres, they include a well maintained garden with areas of lawn, a pond, well stocked beds and borders, an orchard, vegetable patch, greenhouse, garden store and various seating areas. A small paddock provides
