It’s a convenient spot if you want village living without giving up easy access to daily essentials with shops, cafes and local facilities found in Fortrose, and Dingwall and Inverness both within commuting distance when you need more. With three bedrooms and contemporary styling, it’s the kind of home that works well for anyone looking for a move in ready home on the Black Isle.

Inside the living room is finished in a soft, modern palette, with pale grey walls and a feature wall patterned in a subtle geometric design wallpaper that adds texture without overwhelming the space. The flooring is a light grey carpet that keeps the room warm and comfortable underfoot. PVC windows sit at the front of the room, with a white radiator fitted beneath. There’s a staircase rising from one corner and white doors leading to the hall and the kitchen. The overall effect is clean and bright, a room that feels immediately ready to relax in.

Stepping through from the living room, the kitchen and dining area opens out as a bright, modern space arranged in a practical L-shaped layout. The kitchen units are a soft colour with simple brushed silver handles paired with dark acrylic worktops. On the main run sits a Bosch electric oven with a ceramic hob above and an extractor hood overhead. There’s a stainless steel sink positioned below the window to give you a pleasant view of the garden. Opposite, the dining area sits beside glazed French doors, with plenty of space for a large family table and chairs. A standout feature is the slatted grey wooden wall panels that adds depth and a striking design detail without overpowering the space. The flooring throughout is a practical and hard wearing light grey wood effect laminate.

The ground floor WC sits just near the front door and has a crisp, modern finish. The lower walls and floor are tiled in large marble effect panels, bringing a polished look that’s easy to keep clean. Above this, the walls are kept simple in white to keep the room feeling bright. A floating toilet with a concealed cistern sits neatly on one wall, paired with a compact grey vanity unit topped with a modern rectangular basin and a matt black mixer tap. The round LED mirror above adds further style, while a small frosted window brings in natural daylight.

The staircase rises from the back of the living room, carpeted in the same soft grey as the lounge and bordered by crisp white balustrades. At the top, the landing opens out into a bright space with white doors leading to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom one is styled with light grey walls and a matching carpet that keeps the whole room feeling warm and relaxed. A large window brings in good natural light while still leaving plenty of space for furniture. Along one wall, the mirrored sliding wardrobes make the room feel bigger while giving you practical storage. The en-suite has been fitted with a sleek grey gloss cabinet that runs beneath the basin, paired with a matt black mixer tap that ties in with the rest of the fittings. To the side, the toilet is tucked in with a clean, streamlined finish. The shower enclosure has a black framed glass door and a mains shower with matching black rainfall head and handheld attachment. A striking black radiator adds a subtle, high end finish.

Bedroom two has light coloured painted walls that keeps it feeling open and tidy. White PVC windows sits above the radiator on the far wall, bringing in plenty of natural light while the floor is fitted with the same grey carpet seen throughout the upper level. Along one wall is a mirrored wardrobe that provides generous built-in storage, making the room feel larger.

Bedroom 3 is a bright single room with soft white walls and a feature of pale pink panelling running along one side, adding texture and warmth. The window sits above a white sill and has a muted pink Roman blind, matching the room’s gentle colour palette. Grey carpet covers the floor, giving it a soft, neutral base. It’s a practical bedroom suited to a child, guest or perhaps as a work from home area.

The bathroom is another crisp, modern room. The full size bath has a clear glass shower screen to the side with a mains shower above. The walls around the shower area are finished in large grey textured panels, softened by the warm tone of the ceiling lighting. Beneath a wide illuminated mirror is a white fitted unit with built-in storage, housing the wash basin and the concealed cistern toilet. The flooring continues the grey theme while a modern black towel radiator completes the room in a neat, contemporary style.

The home is fitted throughout with PVC double glazed windows, with a matching PVC double glazed front door and a set of double glazed patio doors opening from the dining area to the garden. Heating comes from an external Greenstar oil-fired boiler positioned at the rear, supplying radiators across the property, while domestic hot water is provided on demand via the premier heating system.

Outside, the back garden is a level, rectangular space laid mainly to lawn, fully enclosed by grey timber fencing with lattice top panels along the rear boundary. A paved patio sits directly outside the French doors, giving a neat spot for outdoor seating, with a separate gravel path leading towards the side. The garden also includes a timber shed with a pitched felt roof and a children’s playhouse. To the side of the house, the tarmac driveway offers off street parking for around two cars.

With fresh styling, practical storage, a master en-suite, secure garden and private driveway parking , this home at 42 Seaforth Drive offers all the everyday conveniences wrapped up in a modern, beautiful. If you’re searching for a move in ready base in a well connected village, this one is well worth arranging a viewing for.
