Contemporary Three-Bedroom Bungalow With Raised Decking And Scenic Views In Sought-After Contin Location

Set back from the road in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of Contin, 6 Craigdarroch Drive is a deceptively spacious semi-detached bungalow with an extended layout, three bedrooms and a beautifully arranged garden to the rear. Bright red accents frame the windows and front door, adding a distinct and welcoming finish to the home’s tidy frontage, which includes a gravel drive for off-street parking.
Inside, the entrance vestibule offers a handy space to leave coats and muddy boots before stepping through into the main hallway. The layout flows naturally through the house, offering defined zones for living, dining and rest, all complemented by a calm, neutral palette throughout.
The sitting room is a standout feature, centred around a stylish black wood-burning stove set on a sleek hearth. It’s a space made for comfort and calm, with glazed doors at the rear opening straight onto the decking with views to the garden and beyond. These let plenty of natural light into the room while soft grey carpeting and ceiling spotlights finish the space with a clean, modern feel.
Connected around the corner, the sitting room opens into a dining area with enough space for a family sized table and chairs. Matching glazed doors on this side also lead to the decking, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors while dining or entertaining inside.
From the dining area, a door leads into the utility room, which offers useful extra space for laundry appliances, a second sink and additional storage. From here, you continue into the kitchen which is designed with white cabinets and grey marble-effect worktops that run along two sides. Matching splashbacks tie the look together while a stainless steel sink sits beneath the window, offering a lovely view out to the front of the home. There’s a built-in oven, electric hob and extractor above, all positioned for simple, day-to-day cooking. The layout works well, keeping everything close to hand without feeling cramped.
The main bathroom of the homewith is a clean and bright space with a full-sized bath, wall-mounted electric shower over for extra convenience. The walls are finished with clean white tiles and a deep blue border, with a matching blue panel on the bath adding a simple, coordinated look to the space. A cabinet unit under the basin provides storage, with a white towel radiator and window rounding off the space.
There are three bedrooms in total, arranged towards the end of the hall. The main bedroom is a comfortable double with soft cream carpet, mint green walls and a built-in wardrobe featuring one mirrored door alongside two painted white timber doors. A window looks out across the garden. The bedroom benefits from an en-suite, fitted with a square corner shower cubicle, toilet and basin. The mint green wall colour continues into here, paired with soft grey tiling around the lower walls for a calm, cohesive finish.
The second bedroom is another double with fresh, neutral décor. A large front-facing window sits above a radiator, and a built-in wardrobe offers convenient storage. The third bedroom also accommodates a double bed, though it’s currently used as a home office and lounge space. A subtle patterned wallpaper gives the room personality and a window to the front keeps it bright and useful for a range of functions.
Outside, the rear garden is a peaceful and attractively arranged space. Directly outside the sitting room and dining area is a large raised decking platform, offering a generous and private spot for seating, dining or simply enjoying the surrounding views. Steps lead down to gravel paths in contrasting tones, arranged around planted sections filled with flowers, shrubs and mature greenery. In the far corner, a paved patio adds a second option for sitting out or placing a small table and chairs. Beyond the fence, the outlook opens to trees and Highland hills, reinforcing the sense of calm and seclusion.
Off-street parking is provided on the gravel drive to the front and a series of timber-framed wood stores offer additional outdoor storage. An access path runs along the side.
Heating is delivered by a Heatrae Sadia Amptec C1200 electric boiler, powering radiators throughout the home. Hot water is supported by a pre-insulated cylinder with immersion backup, helping maintain efficiency. The windows are timber double glazed and the roofline includes timber fascias, soffits and barge boards, consistent with the home’s character and setting.
This home offers a calm, practical setting with scenic surroundings and thoughtful details throughout. The owner is leaving many extras and is chain free. To arrange your private viewing, contact Hamish Homes today.
