This smart, modernised three-bedroom home in Forres enjoys an open plan living space, sleek kitchen and a standout timber summer house with its own toilet and power, perfect for home working, guests or relaxing garden time. It’s a move-in-ready option with excellent versatility.
You enter the home into a bright hallway with white walls, grey wood laminate flooring and ceiling spotlights overhead. The same flooring continues seamlessly into the main living area, creating a sense of flow and cohesion throughout the ground floor.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen space is the heart of the home. A large window at the front brings in natural light, with a wall-mounted heater beneath. Along one wall, painted in a rich blue, a mock chimney breast houses a long black electric fire, with a TV inset neatly above, providing both warmth and a focal point. The rooms generous proportions comfortably accommodate sofas and furniture, while the open layout creates an easy, social atmosphere.
The kitchen area is fitted with sleek, dark grey units and chrome integrated appliances, including a built-in oven and hob with extractor hood. White worktops add contrast and brightness, while light grey tiling with black grout brings a bold, modern finish. The sink sits beneath a window looking out to the rear and the worktop extends to form a breakfast bar that separates the living and kitchen space while offering a spot to dine or work casually.
Just off the kitchen, a compact utility area offers further counter space and room for laundry appliances. It’s also a handy place to store everyday items like vacuum cleaners or ironing boards, keeping the main living areas clear and tidy.
The staircase is laid with a thick, dark grey carpet, which continues onto the landing and into each of the bedrooms upstairs. The main bedroom is a spacious double, with a bold deep blue feature wall with the remaining walls in white. A small built-in wardrobe with mirrored doors adds practical storage without taking up floor space. A window looks out to the front with a heater positioned beneath.
The second bedroom is another double, featuring a rich green accent wall and a window for natural light. There’s space here for a double bed and furniture, with the same soft grey carpet underfoot and a clean, simple finish throughout.
The third bedroom is a bright single, with white walls and a feature wall decorated with colourful dots in soft pink, blue and green tones. It’s a cheerful, well-proportioned room with a window and thick grey carpet, ideal for a child’s room, guest space or study.
The bathroom centres around a large walk-in shower cubicle, enclosed by a glass screen and fitted with a modern mixer shower. Inside, the walls are finished in a striking mix of grey and white tiling that contrasts nicely with the clean white walls elsewhere. A grey-toned wood laminate floor runs underfoot, complementing the room’s calm, contemporary feel. Along one wall sits a stylish vanity unit with a built-in cupboard beneath the sink and the toilet positioned neatly beside it. A circular mirror above the basin adds a polished finishing touch.
To the rear of the home is one of its most exciting features – a fully lined timber summer house. Finished with double glazed windows and fitted with power, light, a panel heater and even its own toilet and wash hand basin, it’s a brilliant, flexible addition to the home. With white walls, spotlights and a carpeted floor, it’s ready to be used as a home office, garden bar, creative studio or even occasional guest space.
The garden areas are smartly designed and easy to maintain, with paving, timber decking and artificial grass providing year-round usability. There’s an outside tap and secure boundaries formed from timber fencing and stone walls. The front garden is also neatly kept, surfaced in paving and enclosed with fencing.
The property is fitted with double glazed UPVC windows throughout and access doors are also UPVC and double glazed. Heating is provided by a system of instantaneous electric heaters, with hot water supplied by a cylinder fitted with an electric immersion heater located in the loft. Rainwater goods consist of PVC half-round gutters with round downpipes and the external timbers are finished in a natural wood stain.
