It is mainly built of stone under a pitched slate roof with a turret and traditional sash and case windows.
The six-bedroom property has four reception rooms and four bathrooms.
Tigh An Tuir is offered for sale as a whole or in two lots.
The second lot is the two-bedroom Bridge House, which includes a detached studio.
Tigh an Tuir's rooms are well proportioned, light and bright with high ceilings and tall windows complemented by the fine period features throughout.
These include polished wooden floors, fine cornicing, panelled doors and a wooden staircase.
The reception rooms are reached directly from the staircase hall with its galleried landing.
The dining room enjoys a southerly outlook over the garden and continues through to the generous conservatory, which opens out onto a terrace.
The sitting room, known by the current owners as The Den, is a reception room centred on an open fire with a mantlepiece.
Lying to the north side of the house is the breakfasting kitchen, with a door leading directly outside, with a part-glazed ceiling.
A door leads directly off the kitchen, giving access to the office, scullery, laundry room, cloakroom and storage cupboards.
The bedrooms all lie on the first floor.
The main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath in the turret of the property.
There are an additional three double bedrooms; one with an en-suite and two with a sink, and a family bathroom.

Tigh an Tuir sits within well-tended gardens and grounds, extending to more than five acres.
Wrought iron electric gates give access to the sweeping drive leading to a gravelled parking area to the side of the main house, with further parking to the rear.
The gardens and grounds have been well-maintained and developed over many years.
Further, there is a tennis court, summerhouse and mature woodland.
The Mull Inn lies just to the north of Tigh an Tuir.

It is of stone construction under a slated roof and includes a games room, bar and dining room.
There is also a chef's store, wine cellar, laundry room and garage attached to The Mull Inn.
Bridge House is a traditional stone-built cottage south of Tigh an Tuir and adjacent to the public road running through Strathtay.
It has been refurbished to form a beautiful house with rooms over two floors.
From the entrance vestibule, the hall leads directly to the double-height sitting room with a wood-burning stove and triple aspect.
Adjacent is the kitchen, with fitted floor and wall cupboards, integrated appliances and tiled floor.
There is a well-proportioned dining room looking out over the garden.
A cloakroom completes the accommodation on the ground floor.
A staircase leads to the first floor landing with doors leading to the main bedroom, shower room and dressing room, which could also be a second bedroom.
There is additionally a detached studio to the west of Bridge House, which currently provides a well-equipped, bright and airy fitness/pilates studio.
This could alternatively be used as an annexe or home working office.
It has an outdoor patio overlooking a pretty garden.
Adjacent to the studio is a traditional stone-built outbuilding.
Bridge House has a one-acre lawned garden to the front, with a courtyard to the rear.
Tigh An Tuir and all its buildings are being marketed by Galbraith as a whole lot for £2.2m.
The two main houses are also available as separate lots; however, Bridge House is not available for purchase on its own until Tigh An Tuir has been sold.

Allan government refuses to rule out introducing a new tax on households to fill Suburban Rail Loop funding black hole
The Victorian government has repeatedly refused to rule out introducing a new tax on households to fund the Suburban Rail Loop. The Allan government has pledged to use 'value capture' to cover up to a third of the $34 billion required for the eastern section of the SRL. On Sunday, the Herald Sun revealed former premier Daniel Andrews had been presented with a list of five options for value capture, including a 'modest' levy on households in metropolitan suburbs. Mr Andrews was reportedly opposed to the tax proposal - viewing it as political poison - but when Transport Minister Gabrielle Williams was asked whether it was still on the table, she refused to say. 'Look, as we've as we've said consistently on this topic, there is a power of work going on to examine and evaluate a range of different value capture opportunities,' she told reporters on Monday. 'That work is ongoing and is in the process, I understand from colleagues, of being finalised as we speak and we'll have more to say about it in due course." Pressed on whether a levy on households was one of the options being considered, Ms Williams said a 'range of different potential measures' were being assessed, before claiming the government would 'be transparent with the Victorian community about what that will involve'. Asked a third time whether she could rule out an SRL tax on households, the Transport Minister again refused - stating it was 'still being worked through'. Opposition Leader Brad Battin said Victorians across the state ought to be wary about the Allan government when it came to taxes. 'They've increased or added another 63 taxes across Victoria, and now they're saying they won't rule out a new tax for the SRL,' he said. Mr Battin said the government 'simply can't afford' the SRL but said he felt the government would press on regardless. 'They will do anything they can (including) stealing money from people who are hardworking across our state to put back in their coffers for their failures,' he said. 'The Allan Labor government have an option: Do you continue with a project that is going to impact people during a cost of living crisis for a long period of time, or do you do the right thing, take the step back now, cancel the project and ensure that Victorians can get on with their lives with less government interference, and put the money into the projects where it's desperately needed in the growth corridors?" The Opposition Leader said the government's infrastructure cost blowouts were already impacting services across the state. 'They're spending billions of dollars over what they project every time, and that impacts on the cost of every other service across Victoria,' he said. 'There's a reason that ambulances are ramped at hospitals; there's a reason you don't feel safe in your home; there is a reason education standards drop – because the Allan Labor government continue to waste money on projects with cost overruns on each and every project they have.' According to the Herald Sun, the other value capture options presented to the former Premier included a levy on off-street car parks, taxes on developers, a windfall gains tax on station precincts, as well as the ring-fencing of land tax revenue from SRL precincts. Tunnelling on the SRL East is set to begin next year, however there remains a huge funding black hole in the $34 billion project. While the Victorian government has committed $11.8 billion towards the project, the Albanese government has only pledged $2.2 billion - leaving $20 billion unaccounted for.

Premier corruption probe 'unlikely' in another state
The highly publicised corruption probe into former NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian would likely not have been possible in another state. NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption boss John Hatzistergos made the claim on Monday at a parliamentary inquiry into the adequacy of its Victorian counterpart's legislative framework. Under Victoria's "limited" definition of corrupt conduct, Mr Hatzistergos said it was unlikely the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission would have investigated or made findings against Ms Berejiklian. The ICAC chief commissioner told the inquiry the conduct exposed by Operation Keppel was "quite serious". "You can read the report and form your own views as to whether or not it's appropriate for that sort of conduct to be allowed to go without appropriate intervention from your corruption commission," he said. Operation Keppel uncovered the secret "close personal relationship" between Ms Berejiklian and former Wagga Wagga MP Daryl Maguire in a bombshell public hearing in October 2020. Mr Maguire resigned from NSW parliament in 2018 after ICAC began investigating his improper use of his role as an MP to benefit a company in which he had a financial interest. ICAC extended the investigation to include the premier in October 2021, prompting her resignation, and later found she engaged in serious corrupt conduct and breached public trust. The NSW Court of Appeal rejected Ms Berejiklian's attempt to clear her name in July 2024. Mr Hatzistergos pointed out ICAC required a majority of its three commissioners, including himself as chief commissioner, to support a public hearing for one to proceed. A public hearing has never occurred after a 2-1 vote, the former NSW attorney-general said. "It's always been 3-0," Mr Hatzistergos told the Integrity and Oversight Committee. "That doesn't mean that we don't take reputations into account." Victoria's IBAC Act states an examination can only be held in public if there are "exceptional circumstances" or if it is in the public interest and won't cause "unreasonable damage" to a person's reputation, safety or wellbeing. Mr Hatzistergos said there was no threshold for exceptional circumstances for ICAC, with public interest the "principle" requirement. The commission must also focus on "serious and systemic" corruption. The IBAC Act's definition of "corrupt conduct" requires it to constitute a criminal offence. Former IBAC commissioner Robert Redlich told the inquiry the Victorian and NSW watchdogs, the Law Institute, Victorian Bar and independent think tanks spoke with "one voice" in favour of expanding the definition. "The words at the end of section 4 of the definition should be removed so all of that 'grey corruption' can be addressed," he said. In his submission, Mr Redlich said the current definition provided a "safe haven for politicians and public officers". "We have serious questions that continue to be raised about whether or not the public sector still continues to place, first and foremost, (providing) frank and fearless advice ... to their minister," he said. "The scope for soft corruption has increased because of the nature of executive government." Mr Redlich, whose five-year term leading the Victorian watchdog ended in December 2022, also wants the "exceptional circumstances" provision for public hearings dumped.

Oil Gains as Focus Shifts to Zelenskiy Meet After Alaska Summit
(Bloomberg) -- Oil rose as investors turned their attention to Donald Trump's meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday, with the Ukrainian leader facing US pressure to reach a peace deal with Russia that involves ceding territory. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider A Photographer's Pipe Dream: Capturing New York's Vast Water System Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety A London Apartment Tower With Echoes of Victorian Rail and Ancient Rome Princeton Plans New Budget Cuts as Pressure From Trump Builds Brent traded near $66 a barrel after closing 1.5% lower in the previous session, while West Texas Intermediate was above $63. In a show of support, European leaders including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, French President Emmanuel Macron, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, will join the high-stakes meeting in Washington with Trump and Zelenskiy. The US president said after his talks with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday that he'll urge Zelenskiy to make a quick deal, and sounded receptive to the Russian leader's demand that Ukraine give up large swathes of land. 'We're still a long ways off,' Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who took part in the summit, told Fox News on Sunday. 'We are not at the precipice of a peace agreement. We are not at the edge of one. But I do think progress was made.' Trump told European leaders after the meeting that the US could contribute to any security guarantees, and that Putin was prepared to accept that. However, it remains unclear what kind of guarantees are being discussed with the Russian leader, and what the Kremlin is willing to accept. In a Truth Social post late Sunday, Trump said Zelenskiy 'can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.' He also made a reference to Crimea, without providing further details. Prior to the summit in Alaska, Trump told allies that reaching a ceasefire would be his key demand, and threatened to walk out of the talks and impose tough new measures on Moscow and countries buying its oil if it wasn't met. On Friday, the US president signaled he was in no hurry to implement penalties. So far, Trump has singled out India for buying Russian crude, slapping the South Asian nation with hefty tariffs for doing so. However, the US president said in a Fox News interview on Friday that he will hold off increasing levies on Chinese goods due to the country's purchases of Moscow's crude. 'The fact that further meetings are taking place here is a positive,' said Robert Rennie, the head of commodity and carbon research at Westpac Banking Corp. Talks around seeking a resolution to the Ukraine war have injected uncertainty into the market, and led to oil trading in a narrow range recently. Still, futures are down more than 10% this year on concerns around the fallout from Trump's trade policies and as OPEC+ rapidly returns idled barrels to the market.
