Overlooking the tranquil waters of Burghead Harbour and the vast sweep of the Moray Firth beyond, this exceptional home offers a rare chance to live within one of Scotland’s most distinctive coastal landmarks.

With timeless character and the beach, shops and cafés just a short stroll away, this is coastal life at its most appealing.
Stepping inside, the sense of character continues immediately. The open plan living and dining room spans the width of the home, a beautiful bright space. Three deep set sash windows frame views of the harbour and rolling sea beyond, filling the room with natural light. Warm wooden flooring and crisp white walls create a calm backdrop, while subtle recessed spotlights add a modern touch. The adjoining dining area offers room for family gatherings or entertaining friends in style. It’s a space that allows you to truly appreciate the building’s idyllic seaside location.
Flowing seamlessly from the dining area, the kitchen continues the home’s warm, welcoming feel. Timber cabinets with sleek chrome handles contrasts beautifully with the dark worktops and mosaic style tiled splashback. It features an integrated oven and hob with extractor above, while ceiling spotlights add a soft glow in the evenings. The layout makes excellent use of space, offering generous storage and a comfortable cooking environment. Finished with wooden flooring and a stainless steel sink, this is a kitchen ideal for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining at home.
Completing this level is a thoughtfully placed WC, ideal for everyday convenience. Neatly designed with painted panelling, a modern toilet and wash basin, it feels bright and fresh thanks to the deep set window that brings in natural light. The warm wood detailing and tiled flooring tie in beautifully with the rest of the home.
A carpeted staircase with a modern wood and chrome balustrade leads gracefully down to the lower level, where the bedrooms and bathroom can be found. The main bedroom enjoys a calm, restful feel, perfectly suited to its harbour setting. The room has space for a double bed, bedside tables and additional storage, while built-in wardrobes provide a practical solution without interrupting the clean layout. A large arched window draws provides great views and allows natural light to flood in. It also enjoys an en-suite shower room. This features a smart three piece suite comprising a glazed shower enclosure, wash hand basin and toilet, finished with fresh white tiling and a chrome heated towel rail for comfort. Together they form a bright and private retreat within this unique home.
Bedroom two is also a bright and welcoming double, tastefully finished in soft neutral tones. A large window allows plenty of natural light, while fitted wardrobes with sliding doors offer useful built-in storage.
The third bedroom carries on the theme, comfortably accommodating a double bed or twin arrangement. It has its own large window that keeps the room light and bright while the neutral decor makes it a blank canvas for your own input.
The main bathroom has the benefit of both a full sized bath and a separate shower enclosure, ideal for busy mornings or long, relaxing soaks. The suite also includes a pedestal wash basin and toilet, all set against soft neutral coloured tiling. A chrome heated towel rail and tiled flooring complete this stylish space.
