Situated in the heart of Fort Augustus, 11 The Riggs offers a charming retreat with a warm, inviting interior and scenic surroundings. This well-maintained, mid-terrace property is nestled within a peaceful cul-de-sac, a short walk from the village centre and just off the A82, making it an ideal home for those seeking both serenity and accessibility.

As you step into the entrance vestibule, a hallway with beautiful wood laminate flooring stretches seamlessly into the kitchen, lending a modern, cohesive feel. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a mix of light-coloured cabinets and drawers that contrast beautifully with the vibrant red walls. A sleek silver splashback behind the hob adds a striking, modern touch, while under-cabinet lighting illuminates the worktops below, creating an inviting space for meal preparation. This well-equipped kitchen also includes an integrated oven and plumbing for a washing machine, making it practical and ready for everyday life.

The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan sitting and dining room, where a wood-burning stove within a decorative fireplace provides a wonderful focal point. The fireplace, with its elegant wooden surround, compliments the soft grey decorative wallpaper, creating a soothing ambiance, perfect for relaxed evenings. Dual-aspect windows at the front and rear of the room allow natural light to flow in, illuminating the dining area where there’s ample space for a table and chairs.

Heading upstairs, you’ll find three thoughtfully decorated bedrooms. The main double bedroom is generously sized, with light grey wallpaper adding a subtle, calming backdrop. The second double bedroom features patterned wallpaper with lively splashes of colour, offering a cheerful, personal space. The third bedroom is a cosy single, adorned with floral-patterned wallpaper in soft yellows, making it an ideal space for a child’s room or home office.

The bathroom is a stylish retreat, with floral wallpaper bringing a fresh charm to the space. A large bath with centre taps sits under a modern shower, complete with a shower screen for practicality. A built-in unit houses the sink and provides essential storage for toiletries, keeping the room uncluttered. Chrome finishes, including a towel radiator, shelves and a stylish modern illuminated mirror, add a sleek touch to this well-designed bathroom.

Outside, the property’s gardens extend the home’s appeal. The front and rear gardens are mainly laid to lawn, with a mix of hedgerows, mature trees and colourful plants that create a serene, natural environment. A timber shed and log store offer additional storage, while the lawn provides ample space for children or pets to play, or for hosting summer gatherings.
