Four Bedroom Detached Period Home With Exceptional Rear Extension, Large Garden And Generous Outbuildings

Standing proudly on Buckie’s High Street, this substantial detached stone built home immediately stands out with its striking traditional frontage, impressive proportions and commanding presence. Dating back around 126 years, the property blends the character and craftsmanship expected from a home of this period with the scale and flexibility that modern family life demands. The accommodation stretches across two floors with a later single storey rear addition helping create a far more vast layout than first expected from the street.

Stepping through the entrance vestibule, a glazed timber door opens into a broad central hallway where the scale of the home immediately becomes apparent. Warm wood flooring runs through the space, complemented by matching timber facings and a carpeted staircase rising to the first floor. High ceilings and decorative cornicing bring a real sense of character.

The first door on the right opens into the main living room. This is an elegant front facing room centred around a striking feature fireplace with an ornate surround and gas fire set within. A large bay window projects out to the front, filling the room with light. Decorative ceiling detailing adds to the traditional feel of the room, while the soft neutral décor keeps the overall look calm and welcoming.

On the opposite side of the hallway, a second sitting room provides another generous space to relax and works equally well as a more formal lounge, reading room or television room. The room mirrors the living room with a deep bay window. Decorative cornicing continues here, reinforcing the period character, with soft neutral tones and a fitted carpet. Set along one wall is a matching decorative gas fireplace adding warmth and balance to the room.

Next along the hallway is a versatile ground floor bedroom currently arranged as a gym and exercise space. The room retains the same high ceilings found throughout the property, helping it feel airy. Light grey flooring and light grey painted walls keep the overall finish modern while a thin, tall deep set window draws natural light into the room. Whether used as a fourth bedroom, home office, hobby room or fitness space, this is a particularly useful addition to the ground floor layout.

Moving towards the rear of the house, the layout opens into a series of connected family spaces that completely change the feel of the home. A smaller dining area sits first, linked to the main kitchen space through a wide open archway. The dining area itself is currently arranged with a table and workspace, though the size easily allows for a larger dining setup if required. Beyond this is an impressive open plan kitchen, dining and family room stretching across the rear property extension. Large windows and glazed doors wrap around the space, pulling in natural light from several angles and giving uninterrupted views out across the garden.

The kitchen has a sleek modern finish with high gloss white cabinets paired with black worktops, creating a strong contrast that gives the room a sharp contemporary look. A substantial central island sits at the heart of the layout, providing additional storage, preparation space and casual seating beneath. The scale of the room allows plenty of flexibility beyond the kitchen itself, with room for both dining and relaxed seating depending on how the space is arranged. Recessed lighting runs throughout the ceiling, while the wide rear door creates an easy connection straight out into the garden.

Positioned directly off the kitchen is a separate utility room, helping keep the main living areas clear and organised. The room has been fitted with a long run of storage cupboards stretching almost the full length of one wall, paired with work surfaces and additional space for laundry appliances beneath.

Also accessed from the kitchen is a separate dressing area leading through into a contemporary bathroom. The dressing space is simple and bright, currently arranged with a vanity area beneath a large wall mirror, while the adjoining bathroom has been finished in a clean modern style with large grey coloured wall tiles and a white suite. The layout includes a bath with shower fitted above and a vanity unit with integrated sink. Having this section positioned on the ground floor works particularly well for the ground floor bedroom as well as guests or older family members.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three further bedrooms, including an excellent master suite that is far more substantial than a standard bedroom. The sleeping area itself is generous in scale, comfortably accommodating a large bed alongside extensive freestanding furniture. Leading directly from the bedroom is a separate dressing area fitted with a full run of wardrobes, providing plenty of dedicated storage away from the main bedroom itself. Beyond that is the en-suite shower room, fitted with a large curved shower enclosure. A large vanity area provides plenty of space for storing bathroom essentials. Having the bedroom, dressing area and en-suite all connected in this way gives the suite a much more private, self contained feel, adding a level of comfort and practicality that is a genuine bonus in day to day living.

The third bedroom is another comfortable double room, finished with bright white painted walls and designed with a clever layout. An arched opening leads through to a separate recessed section fitted with full height mirrored wardrobes, creating an almost open plan dressing area while still remaining connected to the main sleeping space.
It gives the room a more spacious feel and adds a practical storage solution without dominating the bedroom itself. The dormer style window and additional side window help keep the room feeling light, while there is still plenty of space for further furniture.

The fourth bedroom is another generous double with a bright, neutral finish and a spacious layout that easily accommodates a large bed alongside additional furniture. Light coloured walls and a grey fitted carpet keep the room feeling warm and inviting, while decorative coving adds a more refined touch overhead. A large dormer style window draws in plenty of natural light with a wide radiator set below for warmth.

The first floor shower room has a large walk in glazed shower enclosure sitting to one side, complemented by a contemporary wall mounted vanity unit with plenty storage built-in. The large mirror and spotlight lighting help enhance the sense of space, while the tall heated towel radiator completes the room.

Outside, the rear garden is a real standout feature of the home, with a huge amount of outdoor space that is difficult to find so close to the centre of town. A large paved patio runs directly along the back of the house, creating an ideal space for outdoor seating and entertaining, while the substantial lawn beyond provides plenty of room for children to play, summer gatherings or simply enjoying the open surroundings. Mature hedging and established planting soften the boundaries and give the garden a private feel.

At the end of the garden are two additional, substantial detached outbuildings. The first is a garage constructed from rendered blockwork beneath an insulated profiled metal roof and features an electronically operated door, making it ideal for secure vehicle storage, workshop use or general household equipment.

Attached to this is a separate office building which is finished in composite cladding, and is fully insulated and lined internally to create a comfortable year round space. Currently arranged as a home office, the layout easily lends itself to a gym, studio, treatment room or business workspace depending on your requirements. Two large windows keep the interior bright, while the inclusion of its own toilet and sink with hot water makes it a fully functional separate space.

Homes offering this amount of space, flexibility and outdoor options in such a central town centre location, are difficult to find. It’s the kind of property that reveals more and more as you move through it, and viewing in person is the only way to properly appreciate the scale on offer. Getting in early is highly recommended, so contact Hamish Homes right away to book your own private viewing.
