Flexible Six Bedroom Bungalow With Three En Suites, Double Garage And Large Driveway

A long driveway winds towards the property, opening into a broad parking area framed by stone chip borders. Originally converted around 2015, the bungalow has been transformed into a substantial modern home with a layout that is suited to large families or buyers looking for generous guest accommodation close to Dornoch. From the outside, the scale is understated, but once inside the extent of the accommodation becomes clear very quickly.

The open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen form the heart of the house and work perfectly as one connected living space. The kitchen comprises off white cabinets with black laminate worktops and chrome handles, creating a sharp modern look. Dark tiling and mosaic splashbacks frame the cooking area, while integrated appliances include a Lamona oven and microwave which is fitted neatly within a tall bank of units. The dining area sits naturally beside with space for a large dining table and chairs. Glazed French doors open directly to the garden and there’s plenty of windows here for natural light, too.

The lounge continues openly from the dining area and is a comfortable and sociable space. The freestanding multi fuel stove stands on a dark hearth against a grey brick backdrop, creating a strong focal point within the room. Ceiling spotlights keep the space bright into the evening, while wide windows set either side of the stove floods the room with daylight. The scale of the room easily accommodates multiple seating areas and additional furniture.

The home has six double bedrooms, three of which are en-suite. Bedroom one is a particularly bright and spacious double room with windows positioned on three sides, giving the room an airy feel throughout the day. Neutral wall colours keep the room calm and uncluttered. The en-suite has light marble effect wetwall panelling on the walls and inside the shower cubicle. There’s a large mirror fitted above the vanity unit which houses the sink and toilet.

Bedroom two is another generous double bedroom with windows positioned on either side of the room. The light cream walls and dark carpet creates a warm atmosphere, with plenty of open floor space for a large bed and furniture. The en-suite bathroom is one of the standout rooms within the property. A large bath with cream timber side panel sits opposite the walk in shower enclosure which has chrome fittings and mixer shower, while a substantial vanity unit incorporates both the sink and toilet. The huge frosted window stretches across the wall, flooding the bathroom with natural light without compromising privacy.

Bedroom three has crisp white walls and a large window keeping the room bright. Its en-suite shower room has a splash of colour with pale blue painted walls balanced against the white tiles and chrome fittings. The large shower enclosure includes a rainfall shower head which adds a luxury finish to the room.

Bedrooms four, five and six continue the same clean, modern feel found throughout the home, each offering a comfortable double size. Bedroom four sits directly off the main living area, making it particularly well suited as a guest room, home office or snug alongside its current use as a bedroom. Bedroom five benefits from a wide window overlooking the surrounding greenery, while bedroom six carries the same bright neutral styling with plenty of natural light and adaptable floor space. Together, these three rooms give the property genuine versatility for larger families or anyone needing additional hobby or guest accommodation without compromising on comfort.

The main shower room enjoys a large glazed walk in enclosure fitted with chrome controls and a rainfall shower head. Crisp white wall tiling is broken by a narrow mosaic border running through the centre room, while the soft grey wood effect flooring keeps the finish feeling warm. The vanity unit below the sink provides useful storage with a mirrored cabinet above making smart use of the alcove space beside the frosted window.

The home has a utility room which provides valuable additional workspace away from the main kitchen, with plumbing already in place for laundry appliances and further storage units and a sink.

The separate toilet is compact but thoughtfully finished, with light cream panelling to the lower walls and white painted walls above helping the room feel bright. This is a great space for everyday use or for guests when visiting.

The property benefits from electric heating throughout, with hot water supplied via electric immersion heaters connected to a pressurised hot water cylinder. PV solar panels are fitted to one roof slope and contribute towards the property’s electricity supply, while LPG bottles supply the gas hob within the kitchen.

Outside, the grounds complement the house well. Stone chip areas sit to the front alongside mature plants and shrubs, while fencing and hedges help provide privacy. The detached double garage sits beside the property with two electrically operated roller doors and additional pedestrian access, while further sheds, stores and a polytunnel adding even more practical outdoor storage and workspace options.

West Cottage is an exceptional option with six bedrooms, open living space and multiple en-suites gives the property enormous flexibility for modern family life. The peaceful setting just outside Dornoch keeps everyday amenities, schools and the stunning coastline within easy reach.
