Exciting Development Opportunity In Quiet Muir Of Ord Setting

Found close to the well known Glen Ord Distillery in Muir of Ord, this is a property that’s all about opportunity. With solid bones, and a good sized plot, this is a home where you can take full control and create something that fits exactly how you want to live.

From the front, the stone boundary wall gives the property a strong first impression, adding character and a sense of definition. There’s space to park to the side, while the front lawn sets the house back nicely. Being on an end plot gives you that extra bit of breathing room, while the rear garden opens up into a much larger space, mainly laid to lawn and full of potential for landscaping, extensions or simply creating a great outdoor area.

Inside, the layout is already well set up, with a central hallway running through the home and rooms leading off to either side. It’s a straightforward flow, which makes it easier to rework and adapt depending on your plans.

To the right of the hallway, bedroom one is a large double with a full wall of built-in wardrobes. A wide window looks to the front, and once opened back up, this will be a bright, comfortable room with plenty of storage already in place.

Next along, the second bedroom is another generous double. It looks out to the rear garden through a wide window and already has a built-in wardrobe with timber doors. It’s easy to picture this as a calm bedroom once updated.

At the end of the hall sits the shower room area. The space is already defined, with large grey tiles on the walls and a shower in place, along with a frosted window for light. With the fittings removed, it gives you a clean starting point to design exactly what you want here, whether that’s a modern shower room or a full bathroom.

Bedroom three sits just off to the side of this and continues the theme of good proportions. It’s another double room, with a window looking to the rear and built-in storage near the door, making it a practical and flexible space.

Back towards the front of the house, the living room is a generous space with a large window overlooking the front garden. An electric fire set within a decorative stone surround creates a natural focal point. There’s plenty of room here to shape a comfortable main living area.

Leading off the rear of the living room is the kitchen, again ready for a complete redesign. The space itself is a good size, with windows bringing in natural light on two walls, giving you a strong base to create something modern and functional that suits you.

Beyond this, the side vestibule opens into one of the more interesting parts of the home. The sun room is a bright, glazed space with windows on three sides, designed to pull in as much natural light as possible. With wood effect flooring already in place and plenty of power points, it’s easy to imagine this becoming a standout feature, whether as a relaxed sitting area, dining space or something more tailored to your needs.

Outside, the garden really adds to the appeal. The rear is mainly laid to lawn, with plenty of room to shape it however you like. There’s also a concrete base from a previous structure and a dilapidated outbuilding, both of which open up options for redevelopment or replacement. Combined with the size of the plot and the end position, there’s real scope here to create something special.

This is a property that will suit someone ready to take on a project and make it their own. Whether you’re looking to create a long term home or take on a development opportunity, the space, layout and setting here give you a strong starting point to work from.
