Beautifully presented large rural bungalow in exceptional private setting
Surrounded by mature trees and nestled in the depths of agricultural land in one of the most desirable areas of the Black Isle, this outstanding property is a prestigious and beautiful family home.
Constructed in 1985, with a floor area of 127 m2, this is a large, single-storey property has the air of an impeccably built cabin, which is further enhanced by its relaxing wood-trimmed interiors and magnificent woodland and country setting.
Approached by a sweeping drive, Hooper’s Flight sits in the centre of the extensive grounds. A short flight of wooden steps leads to the property, opening onto the first of three verandahs that make the most of the views of the gardens, fields, and the Cromarty Firth beyond.
The hallway leads into a large kitchen dining room with white gloss cabinetry and granite worktops in a galley layout, making the most of the fabulous views that can be enjoyed from this space. With slick surfaces, stainless steel details, and appliances, the kitchen has a strikingly modern look that captures the beautiful light special to this part of Scotland. A separate utility room lies across the hallway.
A dining area sits next to the kitchen and opens into the living room through an archway and onto another small verandah, making this a wonderful indoor-outdoor space that can be enjoyed all year round, whether for outdoor dining or just relaxing.
The sumptuous and extensive living room, with its polished wooden floor and large fireplace facing the patio doors, is very well-appointed. Partly papered with plaid wallpaper and small alcoves and recesses, the room offers a generously sized, but country feel, which lends itself to zoned areas for relaxing and entertaining.
The principal bedroom has a magnificent outlook towards the Fearn Peninsula and opens onto another small wooden verandah. This double-aspect bedroom is spacious and has a built-in wardrobe. The ensuite bathroom has white sanitary ware, a bath, a WC, a wash hand basin, attractive copper-coloured tiles, and wooden shutters.
There are three further bedrooms with built-in storage; one or more of these could be utilised as a home office or other space.
A family shower room with a walk-in enclosure with an electric shower and WC and wash hand basin complete the accommodations.
Outside, the extensive gardens include areas of rolling lawn, rockeries, mature shrubs and an area of conifers.
This is a beautiful property that, given its setting, design, quality of finish and outlook, is sure to be desirable, and early viewing is recommended.
About Dingwall
Located just 15 miles from the City of Inverness, Dingwall is a bustling market town that still retains many of the beautiful stone buildings that were a sign of its status during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
This well-maintained town, with a population of about 5,500, has a lively High Street that benefits from many independent shops, cafes and businesses, making the centre an enjoyable place to visit by both locals and visitors. There are also many cultural attractions, including a well-respected museum, castles, and monuments nearby.
With the A9 bypassing the town, Dingwall is just far enough from the main routes to be still considered quiet but not so distant that it feels inaccessible. An easy 25-minute car journey through attractive countryside and across the Moray Firth via the Kessock Bridge makes the commute to Inverness both easily accessible and enjoyable. Alternatively, there are frequent trains and buses to the City, nearby Invergordon and to the North.
Dingwall has one secondary school, Dingwall Academy, and one primary school. There is a medical centre, dentists, and a leisure centre with a swimming pool and gym. There are several places of worship, supermarkets, and independent food stores.
The area has extensive outdoor pursuits, with world-class golf, fishing, walking, and sailing nearby. The NC500 is close to Dingwall, and many historic villages, castles and monuments are within a short driving distance.
