Talisker in Ross-shire

The upper floor of this Talisker has been fully developed.  The design lends itself well to doing this and with a little forward planning you can prepare the house for future development by changing the roof pitch and adding a few Velux windows during the initial build even if you don't want the extra space immediately.  

Despite being a relatively compact design, the Talisker still has a spacious kitchen.....

....which has plenty space for a dining area in front of the window to take advantage of views....

....and also a Rayburn cooker.  This one is clearly a much loved feature in the house with its gleaming hob covers!

The cosy living room has an angled fireplace in one corner and in this case a multi fuel stove.

At the other end of the lounge there is a stair to the first floor.  Although in the living room itself, the open pine design makes it a feature of the room.

This photograph shows a typical SkyeHomes stair. This is the style of stair we include as standard in the package but you can specify a different style if you'd prefer.  If you don't say otherwise, this is what you'll get!  The stair is pine to go with the 4 panel interior doors and other interior woodwork.

The stair in this house is naturally lit by a Velux rooflight above it.

The landing above the stair is a very restful area of the house.  The light coming in the rooflight casts a soft light over the area which combined with the light from the living room below means that you'll seldom need additional lighting.

Although there are coombed ceilings upstairs, a little imagination ensures that you can still incorporate an attractive bathroom or shower room into the design.
