Impressive Four Bedroom Detached Home With Snooker Room, Double Garage And Landscaped Gardens

Found on the edge of Dornoch, this is a home that immediately stands apart for its scale, presence and the sheer amount of space it offers both inside and out. With impressive internal space extending to around 278 square metres, it’s a property designed for those who want room to live, entertain and grow into, all while being within easy reach of the town and just a short distance from the world renowned Royal Dornoch Golf Course.

From the outside, the house makes a strong first impression. A large gravel driveway sweeps across the front, providing space for multiple vehicles and leading up to a detached double garage that mirrors the style of the main house with its pitched roof and clean finish. The house itself has crisp white walls, a multi-pitched roofline and warm timber detailing around the windows and doors. The setting feels open yet private, framed by mature planting and carefully maintained grounds that hint at what continues around to the rear where there is also disabled access should it be required.

Stepping inside, the entrance vestibule opens into a large open plan hall that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the home. Straight ahead, the dining room sits open to the hall, creating a sense of flow while still feeling like its own defined space. The dining room is a generous area with neutral walls, the same red patterned carpet running underfoot and a wide window allowing natural light to flood in. There’s plenty of space here for a full family dining table and chairs, making it ideal for both everyday use and larger gatherings.

To the left of the hallway, through double timber and glazed doors, is the living room. This is another large space finished with light cream walls, ceiling spotlights and a decorative white fire surround housing a gas LPG fire. The room has a calm, relaxed feel and enjoys double french doors that open out to the rear garden.

The kitchen is a bright and practical space, finished with light wooden cabinets, chrome handles and Paradiso classic Granite worktops and splash-backs. A ceramic hob is set into the top with a built-in Microwave/oven placed below followed by a Quooker tap which adds to the efficiency of this kitchen. A wide window draws in natural light, while the soft blue painted walls and ceiling spotlights keep the room feeling fresh.

Just off the kitchen, the utility room adds another layer of practicality. It has matching cabinets and worktops, an additional sink and space for laundry appliances. It’s a well thought out space that keeps the main kitchen free from clutter.

Continuing through the ground floor, the inner hall leads to a range of additional rooms that really show the flexibility of the house. There’s a study which is a bright, usable room with light green painted walls, a wide window and the same red patterned carpet. It’s ideal for home working or for using as a quiet reading room but could if needs be an overflow bedroom.

Next to this, the WC is neatly finished with white tiling to the lower half of the walls, soft pink paint above and blue tiled flooring. It provides a convenient facility for guests and everyday use.

At the end of the hallway you’ll find the snooker room, a real standout feature of the home! It’s an impressively large room centred around a full size traditional slate snooker table, with plenty of space around it for seating, entertaining or even a bar area. The walls are finished in a slightly deeper pink tone, with blue carpet underfoot, while French doors open directly out to the garden, this can also be accessed by the disabled ramp, making this a space that will naturally become a focal point of the home.

Halfway up the staircase is a tall arched window that adds a real architectural feature, brings in light and gives the transition between floors a sense of character. Upstairs, the sense of space continues.

At the top of the landing, the master suite sits to one side and offers a full retreat within the home. The bedroom itself is large, finished in soft pink tones with the same patterned carpet continuing from the landing. There’s plenty of room here for a full bedroom setup without it feeling crowded. French doors open directly out onto a raised balcony, creating a quiet spot to step outside and take in the surroundings. The bedroom also enjoys a walk-in dressing room, fitted with shelving and rail space, keeping everything organised and out of sight. The en-suite shower room is finished with light grey tiling, giving it a clean, consistent look throughout. A large walk-in enclosure sits to one side, fitted with a rainfall shower that adds a more luxurious feel. Alongside this, a vanity unit incorporates both the sink and toilet, with storage below to keep everything neatly organised.

The second bedroom is another double, with soft décor, a dormer window to the rear and a built-in wardrobe with wooden doors. It also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a shower cubicle, sink and toilet, with a mix of tiled and painted finishes adding detail to the space.

Bedroom three continues the generous proportions along with built-in wardrobes, with light blue walls, the same patterned carpet and a rear-facing window bringing in natural light.

The main bathroom has a more traditional feel, centred around a full size bath with gold taps and a wooden side panel. Alongside this sits a pedestal sink and toilet with matching gold coloured fittings, while a separate gold framed shower enclosure provides an additional option for quicker daily use. Blue tiling runs around the lower half of the walls with a decorative border above and a complementing lighter coloured paint on the upper walls. A rooflight window bringing in natural light from above.

From the landing, a further inner hall leads to the remaining rooms. Bedroom four is accessed via a small set of steps down, adding a sense of grandeur. It’s a large room with light purple coloured walls and the same patterned carpet seen throughout the home. It has two separate windows, a larger dormer on one wall and an additional smaller one on the side, bringing in light from different angles. The room also benefits from two large built-in wardrobes providing excellent storage.

The additional shower room on this level acts as the ensuite for bedroom four and stands out with its bold finish, featuring deep red glossy wall tiles and matching flooring, along with a gold-framed shower enclosure, sink and toilet.

The box room completes the internal accommodation and offers useful additional storage or the potential for a small workspace. Within the hallway there is also a large linen cupboard as well as easy access in the floored loft which runs the full width of the house.

Outside, the rear garden really elevates the home further. The space has been professionally landscaped at great cost, creating a series of flowing, defined areas that are both visually striking and highly usable. Large patio sections sit directly outside the house, providing ideal spots for outdoor seating and dining. Beyond this, the garden opens out into a beautifully shaped central lawn, framed by curved pathways and carefully positioned planting. Mature hedging and sculpted shrubs add to the appeal. It’s a space that’s been maintained to a high standard, offering somewhere to relax, entertain and enjoy throughout the seasons. There is also a 10’ x 8’ green house as well as a vegetable patch with soft fruit bushes and fruit trees for those seeking to get active in the garden.

Overall, this is a home that offers a rare combination of scale, luxury and setting. Whether it’s the multiple reception rooms, the standout snooker space, the landscaped gardens or the proximity to one of Scotland’s most famous golf courses, there’s something here that sets it apart at every turn.
