Scotland is a country that has some fantastic scenery. So why wouldn’t you want a home that looks out over it?
Here we take a look at five houses that all have one thing in common – fantastic views.
Stanley
This extraordinary house is in the Perthshire village of Stanley. Horsey Reach sits on a clifftop overlooking a bend of the Tay. Built in 2010 it was designed to take advantage of unparalleled views over Scotland’s longest river.
The three-storey house has five en suite bedrooms, a family room, and an outstanding open plan lounge/dining/kitchen with vaulted ceiling. The lower ground floor has a studio that could be another bedroom.
A wood burning stove and oil central heating provide warmth, while solar panels help reduce bills.
Outside there are multiple levels of decking, all of which have fabulous views of the Tay flowing past.
A three-bedroom chalet, Horsey Reach Lodge, sits next to the main house and is available alongside the main house for offers over £148,000.
Horsey Reach is on sale for offers over £594,000.

Without doubt one of its finest features is the back garden, which is a stone’s throw from Loch Tay and affords beautiful views over the water from its raised vantage point.
