This characterful cottage combines traditional charm with modern comfort. With two en-suite bedrooms, a wood burning stove, private parking and enclosed garden, it offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy life in one of the Black Isle’s most sought after coastal towns.
A gated stone chip driveway provides off street parking within the enclosed front garden. Here, an area of lawn sits alongside further stone chip sections, while a timber shed provides useful outdoor storage.
You step into the home through a small vestibule which opens into the hallway. Immediately, the cottage styling becomes apparent with solid wood flooring and traditional detailing that runs throughout the property.
The kitchen and dining room forms the heart of the home. Light coloured cabinets are paired with timber worktops and solid wood flooring. A large stainless steel range cooker sits beneath a substantial extractor hood, making this an excellent kitchen for anyone who enjoys cooking.
A farmhouse ceramic sink reinforces the cottage character, while a decorative brick fireplace with black slate hearth and timber mantel provides an attractive focal point. Built-in shelving and cupboard storage have been built into an alcove next to this, adding practicality in keeping with the room’s character. There is also space for a family dining table in the centre.
The living room continues the cottage theme beautifully. Solid timber flooring carries on underfoot while clean white painted walls keep the room feeling fresh. A wood burning stove sits within a fireplace with a white surround and black hearth, creating a natural focal point and adding warmth and atmosphere during the colder months. Built-in shelving and storage have been incorporated into a recessed alcove in here too, with the timber painted in a soft green shade that appears throughout the home. A deep set front facing window incorporates window seating, providing another attractive feature.
The ground floor has a separate WC which is a useful addition for guests and every day convenience. Finished with white walls and a chequerboard style vinyl flooring there’s also a built-in storage cupboard, helping to keep everyday essentials tucked neatly out of sight.
The staircase is a standout feature in its own right. Crafted from timber that complements the flooring below, it rises to a bright first floor landing. This area overlooks the hallway below while a rooflight window floods the space with daylight from above.
The first of the two bedrooms is a comfortable double beneath sloping ceilings that adds to the cottage character. The walls have been painted in fresh white tones, while a light coloured carpet provides a soft touch underfoot. A deep set dormer window brings daylight into the room while a built-in storage cupboard offers valuable storage space. The en-suite bathroom is particularly impressive. A freestanding bath with centre mounted taps immediately draws the eye and provides a touch of luxury.
Bedroom two is slightly larger and again benefits from the character of sloping ceilings. White walls and a light carpet mirrors the first bedroom, with a deep set dormer window too. The en-suite in here is fitted with a large corner shower cubicle with a rainfall shower head fitted. A toilet and wash basin sit alongside, while painted timber panelling in a soft green tone matches that found throughout the home.
