Set in a dramatic elevated position overlooking the Moray Firth, Alamar offers an incredible combination of panoramic sea views, extensive living spaces and a fully equipped detached guest chalet all in a peaceful rural setting just half a mile from Fortrose. This detached bungalow sits on a large plot surrounded by countryside, with open fields and mature grounds wrapping around the property.
Access arrives at the rear of the home, with a tarred driveway, attached store, and metal-clad garage. Inside, the lounge is spacious and inviting, with a soft neutral carpet underfoot and white walls on three sides. A vibrant floral feature wall in pink and purple tones adds colour and character, while a timber fire surround with black inset and hearth creates a natural focal point for the fire that sits within. Multiple windows bring in light throughout the day and there’s ample space for sofas, shelving and display furniture.
A glazed door leads from the lounge into the sun room. This is a beautifully bright space with windows on all sides, framing uninterrupted views of the sea and surrounding fields. Wood flooring adds warmth and character underfoot, while a wide radiator keeps the room comfortable year-round. A glazed door opens directly to the paved garden, making it an ideal spot for relaxing, reading or entertaining.
The kitchen features clean white units paired with grey acrylic worktops and matching splashbacks for a cohesive look. Integrated appliances include a built-in oven and electric hob with extractor above, and there’s space and plumbing for a washing machine. The sink sits below the window, bringing in natural light and keeping the space bright.
Off the kitchen, the utility room features additional storage with wood-fronted units, a matching grey worktop and a sink. A wall-mounted drying rack makes this space highly functional for laundry and storage.
The home also benefits from three bedrooms in total, each with its own style and layout. The largest is a generous double finished in soft tones, with a light pink carpet and space for a large bed, wardrobes and additional furniture. This room enjoys a walk-in dressing room fitted with lots of space and hanging rails for clothing, a standout feature for anyone needing practical, stylish storage.
Another double bedroom includes a full wall-length built-in wardrobe with seven doors, three of which are mirrored to reflect light and add a sense of space. Soft carpet and neutral cream walls keep the look simple and easy to furnish. The third bedroom is a compact single, with cream walls, soft carpet and a window facing the countryside. A small radiator sits by the door.
The property includes two bathrooms, both offering useful options for different needs. The main bathroom is a bright, spacious room with a full-size white bath and overhead shower, ideal for both a relaxing soak or a quick wash. White wall tiles keep the space clean and simple, with wood-effect flooring adding a bit of warmth underfoot. The toilet and basin sit neatly opposite while and a chrome towel radiator provides heat and a spot to dry towels. A frosted window offers privacy without losing the natural light.

The second bathroom is set up as a dedicated shower room. A large cubicle sits to one side, with a toilet built into a compact unit offering storage on either side. On a separate wall, the basin is set within a broad vanity with multiple cupboards, providing plenty of practical space. A chrome towel rail and a frosted window complete this room’s crisp, functional layout.
Attached to the bungalow is a converted garage, now used as a store room. It houses the oil-fired central heating boiler and offers a large, useful area for storage, hobbies or even a home gym.
Heating is provided by an oil-fired boiler, supplying radiators throughout the majority of the home. Electric radiators supplement the remaining spaces. Hot water is served by the boiler, connected to a pressurised hot water cylinder located in the bathroom cupboard. All windows and external doors are double glazed, with a mix of UPVC and timber units.
Outside, to one side of the house, is a detached timber chalet, offering a fully self-contained retreat that’s perfect for guests, extended family or as a potential holiday let or Air BnB. Inside, a compact kitchen area includes white cabinets, a built-in microwave, small electric hob and sink, with enough space for a small dining table and chairs. The main room combines sleeping and living, creating a cosy and practical layout for short stays or weekend use. Just off this area is a neat shower room, fitted with a bold red wetwall panel inside the cubicle and completed by a white toilet and basin, all simple, bright and ready to use.
Also outside is a fully insulated timber shed found near the chalet, ideal for tools, outdoor gear or hobby use. A smaller storage shed sits to the rear, offering additional space for garden equipment or seasonal items.
A wide paved patio stretches across the front of the property, perfectly positioned to take in the full sweep of sea and sky. The area has been carefully levelled using a gabion basket retaining wall, creating a solid and elevated platform that feels open yet private. Whether used for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply sitting quietly to watch the weather roll across the Moray Firth, it’s a standout feature that connects the house directly to its surroundings.
