Impressive Split Level Detached Home With Double Garage, Balcony And Countryside Views

Occupying an elevated position above Strathpeffer, this substantial detached home has quality finishes and generous living spaces that are perfect for modern family life. Arranged across four levels and extending to approximately 270m², the property provides three en-suite bedrooms, multiple living rooms, a large double garage and beautifully landscaped gardens, all complemented by stunning views across the surrounding countryside.

A broad driveway curves towards the home, providing parking for several vehicles before reaching the double integral garage. The house itself has a distinctive appearance, with a mix of rooflines and large windows that hint at the spacious accommodation within. From the front, there are open views across neighbouring rooftops towards the rolling countryside beyond.

You enter the home through a vestibule which opens into a broad central hallway, creating an immediate sense of scale. Quality wooden finishes run throughout, with timber skirtings, internal doors and flooring combining with soft neutral wall colours to create a warm and welcoming first impression. A series of arched openings add character to the space. The generous proportions of the hallway allow it to function as more than simply a space to move through, giving the entrance a strong sense of arrival.

The living room is positioned to take full advantage of the elevated outlook across the town and surrounding countryside. Calming, neutral coloured walls, timber flooring and matching timber facings create a relaxed setting, while a fireplace houses a contemporary wood burning stove set on a dark hearth. French doors open directly onto the balcony, which has decorative metal railings, and frames gorgeous views across rooftops, trees and the rolling hills beyond. The balcony is an

attractive extension of the living room, and will become a favourite of yours, especially in warmer months.

The kitchen and dining room form an impressive open plan area. A vaulted ceiling enhances the sense of space, while skylights and multiple windows around the room flood the place with natural light. Extensive wooden cabinets provides substantial storage, complemented by dark work surfaces and a ceramic farmhouse sink. A large central island incorporates a breakfast bar with seating, creating a natural separation point within the room. Twin built in ovens sit beneath a decorative mantle style surround, while glazed display cabinets and tiled splashbacks add further colour and detail. At the dining end of the room there is so much space for a large family table and additional furniture, with French doors providing direct access outside.

The first of the bedrooms can be found on this level and is a generous double room finished in soft neutral tones. A large window has a radiator positioned below and there’s built-in double wardrobes giving you excellent storage facilities. The room also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted with a glazed shower enclosure, pedestal basin and a toilet. White wall tiles line the shower area and lower walls, with a decorative border tile running around the centre. A heated towel radiator provides additional practicality, too.

A separate WC serves this floor with a toilet and wall mounted hand basin. A high level window brings natural light into the room, while the neutral colour scheme continues the consistent colour scheme of the home.

A short staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, where you’ll find practical day to day facilities. The utility room is a dedicated spot for laundry and household tasks. Fitted units sit beneath a dark work surface, with an additional sink above. There’s space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Also located on this level is another useful WC with a toilet, wall mounted wash basin and heated towel radiator.

Another valuable feature of the lower ground floor is the internal access to the large double garage. The generous floor area gives you excellent flexibility for parking, storage, hobbies or workshop use. This section of the property also has the utility room, critical for a functional home.

A staircase rises to a bright first floor landing, where a timber banister overlooks the entrance hall below while neutral walls, timber facings and a fitted grey carpet complete the space.

The second bedroom in the home is a substantial double with generous floor space and a calm, understated finish. The room benefits from two built in mirror fronted wardrobes set into two different walls, providing extensive built-in storage while reflecting light around the room. A large feature window, framed by the sloping roofline, creates an attractive spot for seating where you can enjoy the elevated outlook. The en-suite shower room has a large walk-in shower enclosure with glazed screen. White tiles with a decorative border line the walls, while a heated towel radiator, wall mounted basin and integrated storage complete the room.

Bedroom three is another impressive double bedroom. Soft neutral décor is lifted by a feature wall which has been painted a modern grey colour. A built in mirror fronted wardrobe sits on one wall while a dormer window draws in light and has a radiator fitted beneath. Its en-suite includes a glazed shower enclosure, toilet and pedestal basin. White wall tiling is complemented by decorative feature borders and a timber framed window.

On this floor the office provides a versatile additional room which could comfortably serve as a home workspace, study, hobby room or as a small single bedroom. Soft cream walls are paired with timber skirtings and facings, while a window set above a radiator brings daylight into the room.

Completing this floor is the main family bathroom which continues the quality finishes. Two velux style roof windows bring daylight into the space, sitting above a bath that stretches along one side of the room. On the opposite side, a curved glass enclosure provides a separate showering area with chrome fittings and controls. A wall mounted wash basin sits below a framed mirror, while built-in alcoves have been incorporated into one wall, creating useful space to store towels or other bathroom essentials. With both a bath and separate shower, this is a bathroom that is well equipped for everyday family life.

Accessed from the first floor landing, the family room occupies its own level with a short set of stairs leading down into it. Timber flooring runs throughout, complemented by cream coloured walls, timber skirtings and matching balustrades around the staircase. At the far end of the room, the eye is drawn immediately to the distinctive window arrangement, where the central window is framed by triangular glazed sections that follow the shape of the roof. Together with the roof windows on either side, it creates a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. Built-in cupboards and open shelving have been incorporated into the internal wall. Whether it’s used for evening television, family gatherings or simply somewhere quieter to sit with a book, it is a room that gives everyone a little more space to spread out. It could also be used as a large additional bedroom should you see fit.

The outdoor space has been designed to be enjoyed. Directly outside the kitchen and dining area is a large timber decking area, making it a great spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead up to a second elevated decked seating area, creating separate spaces to relax as the sun passes over. Beyond this, the garden rises through beautifully displayed flowering beds filled with mature shrubs, colourful rhododendrons and a variety of plants. A lawned area sits alongside the house, while gravel paths help define the different levels. The gardens are enclosed by timber fencing and also include a shed, providing useful external storage.
