Bright Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow With Beautiful Gardens In Peaceful Highland Setting

This detached bungalow sits in a wonderfully peaceful position in the rural community of Gorthleck, surrounded by open countryside, mature trees and beautifully maintained gardens. The home is equally suited to those looking to downsize, retire to the Highlands or simply enjoy a quieter pace of life while remaining within reach of Inverness.

When you arrive you’re met with a generous lawn which stretches across the front, with mature shrubs and colourful flowers that have clearly been cared for over many years. A pathway leads to the front entrance, while the detached garage sits neatly alongside the home.

Inside, the living room is a spacious spot, centred around an attractive brick fireplace which houses a log burning stove that creates a cosy focal point during the colder months. The chimney breast has been painted in a deep purple shade, contrasting beautifully against the other crisp white walls, while the grey carpet gives you a neutral finish throughout. A wide front facing window fills the room with natural daylight and there is plenty of space for a sofa set up and a family dining table if desired.

A door from the living room leads directly into the kitchen that has been fitted with light coloured cabinets and contrasting black worktops. A double built-in oven is housed within a tall cabinet, complemented by a gas hob set into the worktop alongside. The walls are painted in a light green colour, with white tiled splashbacks. A stainless steel sink sits beneath a large window overlooking the gardens, while wood effect flooring and ceiling spotlights complete the room. Tucked into one corner is a breakfast bar, providing a handy place for morning coffee, casual meals or somewhere to sit while helping with homework.

Just off the kitchen, the utility room offers additional storage cupboards, a second sink, space for laundry appliances and houses the LPG condensing boiler. A door leads directly out to the garden, making this a practical everyday entrance.

The first of the three bedrooms is a spacious double room decorated in lavender tones. There’s a wide window with a radiator below and finished with a light grey carpet. The adjoining en-suite shower room provides welcome privacy, featuring a shower enclosure with chrome trim, a vanity unit with wash hand basin and mirror above, together with a toilet.

The second bedroom is another comfortable double room with light coloured walls, a large window with radiator beneath and light grey carpet. Built-in wardrobes with timber sliding doors gives you excellent storage options, while the generous size means the room can easily serve as either a bedroom or an additional sitting room or hobby space.

Bedroom three is also a double room, also finished with light coloured walls and featuring a smaller window with a radiator beneath. Built-in storage includes a wardrobe with timber doors and an additional cupboard above, making excellent use of the available space.

The family bathroom is fitted with a modern suite containing a bath with mixer shower above, a wash basin set on a storage vanity unit and a toilet positioned beneath a frosted window. White wall tiling keeps the room bright, while darker floor tiles provide an attractive contrast.

The home benefits from original timber double glazed windows with timber glazed external doors. Heating and hot water are provided by a full LPG fired condensing boiler supplying radiators throughout the property.

Outside, the rear garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a series of distinct areas, including manicured lawns, colourful flower beds, mature trees, rockeries and paved seating areas. The timber summer house offers a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while the detached garage, timber shed and dedicated log store provide excellent storage for vehicles, gardening equipment and outdoor pursuits. The gardens continue around the front and sides of the property, enclosed by a combination of walls, timber fencing and hedges.

For anyone searching for a home surrounded by Highland countryside yet offering modern living, then this home is for you. You can enjoy the peace, privacy and natural beauty for yourself by contacting Hamish Homes to arrange a private appointment to view.
