Architectural style located in rural idyll

This stunning home, designed by an architect, enjoys a tranquil setting a short distance from Dundee

Aone-off architectdesigned villa in the hamlet of Bridgefoot, just outside Dundee, is a stylish way to enjoy country living. Bridgefoot’s a hop, skip and a jump away from Dundee’s northern boundary yet has the tranquil ambience of an outpost deep in the countryside.

Phoenix, at 6 Grant’s Wynd, is a striking home finished to a high standard. Like many modern, wellinsulated homes, it enjoys open plan convenience, with living, dining and kitchen spaces flowing one into the other. In a neat feature, an internal study creates a breakwater between kitchen and living spaces.

The lounge has double height ceilings and is overlooked by a stylish mezzanine. A sunlounge off this room has banks of glass and views southwest over open countryside.

The mezzanine has its own staircase and looks down on the lounge. French doors lead out to a balcony above the sunroom and it’s a fantastic spot for enjoying a morning coffee or evening glass of wine in the sunshine.

All four double bedrooms are en suite, with the spectacular master enjoying a dressing room as well as a living flame gas fire that’s perfect for cosy winter mornings in bed.

Heating downstairs is underfloor, while the upstairs rooms all have radiators. There’s a fully fitted bar room as well as a gym and a double garage.

Outside there’s a monobloc driveway with parking for four cars, large stretch of lawn, drying area and garden shed. • Phoenix, at 6 Grant’s Wynd, Bridgefoot, is on sale with Michael A. Brown for offers over £425,000.

The open plan design of Phoenix sees each room flow into the next.
