Charming Two Bedroom Cottage With Open Plan Living And Recent Upgrades In A Well Connected Setting

Set within an established residential area close to the centre of Forres, this extended two bedroom mid-terraced cottage offers a blend of traditional character and practical living space, with the added benefit of recent upgrades already in place. With everything arranged across a single level, it provides a layout that is both accessible and easy to work with, while still leaving clear scope to update and personalise over time.

Externally, the property reflects its traditional origins, with stone construction forming the original structure, complemented by later extensions which have increased the internal footprint. The mix of materials gives a sense of how the property has evolved, creating a home that feels both established and functional. The surrounding area is made up of a mix of local authority and private housing, placing you within easy reach of everyday amenities, while still maintaining a quieter residential feel.

Stepping inside, the entrance leads into a hallway which connects the main areas of the home. The layout is straightforward and practical, allowing each room to be easily accessed without unnecessary transitions. With all accommodation on the ground floor and no internal stairs, the property offers a comfortable and accessible living environment suited to a range of buyers.

The main living space is arranged as an open plan lounge and kitchen area, forming the heart of the home. This is a space that works well both functionally and socially, naturally dividing into zones while still feeling connected. The lounge area provides ample room for seating and everyday living, while the addition of French doors, installed in 2022, enhances both light and access, creating a more open and inviting feel. These doors also strengthen the connection between inside and out, giving the room a brighter and more flexible atmosphere.

The kitchen sits within the same open plan layout, offering a practical arrangement with space for appliances and storage. While fully usable as it stands, it presents a great opportunity for modernisation, allowing a buyer to reconfigure or update to suit their own style without needing to alter the overall structure of the space.

Moving through the property, the rear hall leads to additional functional areas, including the utility room. This is a particularly useful addition, providing space for laundry appliances along with extra storage, helping to keep the main living areas uncluttered and organised. It also offers a separation between living and working areas within the home, which is always a valuable feature.

The property includes two bedrooms, both positioned on the ground floor. Each room offers a comfortable amount of space and flexibility depending on how they are used. Whether set up as bedrooms, a home office or even a dressing room, the layout allows you to adapt the space to suit your lifestyle. The proportions of the rooms ensure they remain practical without feeling restrictive.

The shower room is conveniently located and fitted to provide everyday functionality, while the addition of an en-suite toilet adds a further level of practicality, particularly useful for shared living arrangements or visiting guests.

Heating is provided by a mains gas central heating system, installed in 2022, offering improved efficiency and reliability throughout the property. The home also benefits from double glazing, including updated units as part of recent works, contributing to overall comfort and energy performance.

Overall, this is a property that offers a solid base with key upgrades already completed, while still leaving room for improvement and personalisation. The combination of single level living, open plan space and practical additions such as the utility room make it easy to see how the property functions day to day. At the same time, the opportunity to update and enhance allows a buyer to shape the home to their own taste over time.

With its convenient location, adaptable layout and potential to add value, this cottage presents a strong option for a wide range of buyers. Arrange your viewing with Hamish Homes to fully appreciate how this space could work for you.
