Dunkeld Lowlander

Another beautiful Lowlander handed over. Our client in Dunkeld is moving into his new home office as we type! This garden room was finished off by the stepping stone path we laid.

A bespoke Highlander with added WC; a flexible space that works as an office or a spare bedroom. This project required planning and listed building consent, as well as a building warrant, but we were able to arrange all of this on behalf of our client.
