One-Bedroom Bungalow on North Coast of Scotland with Garden Grounds and Efficient Oil Heating System

Located in the quiet rural hamlet of Talmine on the north coast of Sutherland, this compact and efficient bungalow offers a peaceful retreat and low-maintenance garden grounds. Built around 1975 and offering approximately 44m² of internal floor space, the home includes a bright living room, one double bedroom, a modern fitted kitchen, utility area and a clean, upgraded shower room.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway is finished in a neutral palette and laid with grey laminate flooring that continues through to the kitchen. The living room is light and inviting with cream-painted walls and a soft, dark grey carpet underfoot. Natural light enters through a window at the front and a second to the rear, both with radiators positioned below to ensure warmth throughout the year. The room offers enough space for a sofa, TV area and occasional furniture.

The kitchen is fitted with a modern selection of white gloss cabinets, complete with chrome handles and contrasting black acrylic worktops. A stainless steel sink sits neatly beneath the window, while an integrated electric oven, hob and overhead extractor provide functionality. There’s also space for an undercounter fridge and a slimline dishwasher. The cream walls and grey laminate floor maintain the fresh, cohesive feel found throughout the home. A rear door opens from the kitchen out to the garden for added convenience.

Just off the kitchen, a small but useful utility space provides a perfect spot to keep appliances and domestic essentials tucked away. A short countertop allows for additional surface use, and there’s space beneath for a washing machine, keeping laundry out of sight from the main living areas.

The double bedroom is a good sized, calm space with cream walls, grey carpet and a window with radiator beneath. A built-in storage cupboard provides practical space for clothing, making the most of the room’s footprint. There’s ample area for a double bed and small furnishings.

The home’s shower room has been cleanly finished with white fittings and cream wall décor. It features a chrome-framed cubicle with a mixer shower inside, lined with easy-clean white wetwall panelling. A white pedestal sink and matching toilet complete the suite. The room is finished with grey laminate flooring and a large frosted window that lets in natural light while maintaining privacy. A chrome towel radiator adds a final touch of comfort and function.

Outside, the home is surrounded by lawned garden grounds that extend to the front, side and rear, giving space for planting, relaxing or simply enjoying the fresh Highland air. Areas of paving and pebbles add to the low-maintenance setup while the plot is fully enclosed by fencing for added privacy and definition.

Heating and hot water are provided by a Grant oil-fired combination boiler located externally, feeding a full system of radiators throughout the home. All windows and external doors are double-glazed in uPVC, ensuring energy efficiency and durability.

Whether you’re looking for a full-time home, a manageable downsize option or a rural bolthole near the dramatic north coast, this well-maintained bungalow is a smart, comfortable option that’s ready to move into.
