Bright Two-Bedroom Elgin Cottage With Rear Extension, Modern Interiors And Outdoor Space

Located on Ashgrove Road, not far from Elgin city centre, this traditional mid-terraced home offers character features, a modern interior and a single storey extension to the rear. This prime location home is suited to a range of buyers from first-time owners to downsizers or investors.

The entrance leads into a generously sized sitting room, where decorative wood-effect flooring runs underfoot and crisp white walls keep the space light and neutral. A black, decorative, modern fuel-effect gas fire creates a visual centre, with a bold blue and white floral wallpaper on one wall adding contrast. A small window looks onto the garden, and an alcove beside the fireplace with built-in shelving offers the perfect spot for books, photos or display pieces. There’s space to the rear of the room for a dining table, although the current layout includes a second large corner sofa in this area.

The kitchen flows neatly from the sitting room, fitted with a mix of white base and wall units, finished with slim chrome handles and a dark grey laminate worktop. A built-in electric oven, hob and extractor fan are installed and there’s space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. A composite sink sits beneath the window while light grey walls complete the clean, functional feel of the space.

The bathroom has been modernised with black and white marble-effect wetwall panels creating a smart, low-maintenance finish. A floating wall-mounted basin keeps the floor space uncluttered and sits beneath a frosted window. The full-length bath is fitted with centre taps and has an electric shower installed overhead. A shower curtain provides enclosure when needed, and a wall-mounted towel rail completes the room.

Also on the ground floor is a single bedroom, finished with white walls, timber skirtings and a white radiator. It’s a compact space but could comfortably accommodate a single bed and freestanding furniture. It could also be repurposed as an office, great for those who work from home.

Upstairs, the attic bedroom is surprisingly spacious, with sloping ceilings and a dormer window drawing in natural light. White walls and soft carpet create a peaceful setting, while a radiator sits on one of the long walls. There’s room for a double bed and accompanying furniture, making this a comfortable master bedroom.

Externally, the property has a rear garden laid mostly to lawn, with a large patio just outside the door. This paved area is ideal for outdoor seating, entertaining or barbecues with friends and family. The garden is enclosed by timber fencing.

Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas-fired combi boiler, which feeds radiators throughout the home. Most windows and doors are double glazed in UPVC while smoke and heat detectors are also installed.
