First & Attic Floor Maisonette

Fabulous two-bedroom property in an idyllic coastal village

Situated in the popular village of Fortrose on the Black Isle, this delightful maisonette has numerous opportunities as a fabulous first purchase, a charming family home, or an investment to use as a holiday letting.

The property is approximately 123 years old, with an interior area of around 85 m2 making it both generously proportioned and a desirable period property. Its location in the centre of Fortrose makes it ideal for commuting to Inverness or Dingwall or as a Highland base for a second home.

The lounge-dining room is spacious with white-painted timber skirting boards, a wooden mantelpiece and a tiled and cast-iron fireplace. Currently decorated in grey and pink, with a grey carpet, its deep-set large picture window adds to the elegant period features that lend the room character and offers the new owner the potential of a comfortable contemporary living space.

The pleasant U-shaped kitchen is practical and well-provided with floor cabinets and drawer units with timber doors. The worktop expands around the kitchen, creating plenty of space for preparation. With light-coloured tiling, neutrally painted walls, and a window that overlooks the High Street, this sunny kitchen is filled with light that offsets the wood-style worksurface.

The principal bedroom is generous for the age and style of the property and features a view to the rear of the property. Painted pink and grey, with white trim, and with a carpeted flooring, the comfortable double bedroom has plenty of space and offers a peaceful retreat in which to relax.

An impressive staircase leads up to the second bedroom and shower room, making a striking addition to the overall look and feel of the property. A window on the stairs offers an attractive view of the Fortrose rooftops and hills beyond while allowing light to fill the upper part of the property.

Overlooking High Street, the second bedroom has a delightfully coombed ceiling lending the space a quirky, appealing look that emphasises the character of the building. Its unique shape adds a distinct personality and would make a charming child’s room, or it could be used as a home office if desired.

The shower room is tiled in blue and has a walk-in shower, WC and wash hand basin. A large window is not overlooked, allowing the bathroom to be filled with natural light and a great view of the town whilst remaining private. The bathroom has generous proportions and huge potential for later conversion if so desired.

This is an intriguing property that offers a considerable opportunity for a first-time buyer, or it would make a lovely home for a small family or even a holiday letting. 33a High Street is a fabulous addition to Hamish Homes’ portfolio, and with so many interesting details, it warrants early viewing.
