Charming semi-detached cottage with garden and parking, perfect first home

Built in 1900, this delightful one-bedroom cottage is of traditional construction and despite its’ manageably sized interior, offers plenty of space, especially in the living room and kitchen. With gas central heating and a south-facing aspect to the front, 26 Moray Street offers a comfortable and practical small home for a single person or couple. Located close to the Moray Firth and the River Lossie, the cottage enjoys a peaceful location away from the town centre, making it an ideal commuter property for someone who works in nearby Elgin, just four miles away. Typical of cottages of this age and style, the property is entered directly from a quiet road off the main throughway. The entrance also benefits from a small hallway, which offers privacy. The living room is satisfyingly cottage-like and is decorated in soft colours with white joinery, emphasising the space and light. The slightly sloping ceiling lends height and character, and its longer proportion means there is length for a dining/work table or desk.

A convenient rear hall opens to the newer extension with a fabulous, spacious kitchen overlooking the generous garden. The kitchen is elegant and contemporary, with plentiful white push-door cabinets, a wooden-style worktop, and stainless-steel appliances. The bedroom is prettily shaped and nicely decorated, with an area of built-in open clothes storage offering extra space. For those with an eye for design, this bedroom provides further exciting options with several space-making arrangements, using on-trend aesthetics and furniture styles currently popular within smaller homes to create an attractive, relaxing and practical retreat. The shower room is designed and finished in white, creating a clean, light-filled space. It has a glass-walled open shower enclosure, WC, and wash hand basin.

The garden is accessed from the rear hallway. Opening onto a large patio area, the garden is enclosed with timber fencing, with a small stone wall to one side, giving it a delightful rustic feel. The main area consists of an extensive lawn with two mature fruit trees. Beyond the timber fence at the rear lies another area of grass which could be utilised for many purposes. This area also has the considerable benefit of two off-street private parking spaces, a highly prized feature in properties of this age and style. At 37 m2, the delightful property is compact in some areas but with that comes incredible charm and the opportunity to exercise an interest in design. Its lovely setting and pleasant layout make this a small home with phenomenal potential and it is sure to be very popular, especially with commuters looking for their first step onto the property ladder.
