This substantial five bedroom detached country home sits in a beautiful rural setting near Fortrose on the Black Isle. With generous gardens and a double garage, it’s a fantastic property for anyone who appreciates the space and freedom of country living.
The house was originally built in the early 1970s, with the attic later converted to create additional bedrooms. Today, the home enjoys generous living areas making it an appealing choice for a growing family or anyone looking for a peaceful home surrounded by nature.
A gated entrance leads onto a tarmac driveway with plenty of space for parking, while a beautifully maintained lawn creates an attractive approach to the property. The large double garage stands alongside the house, giving you space for vehicles, storage or workshop use. The space has a concrete floor, overhead lighting and a window, making it a very useful building for anyone needing room for tools, equipment or practical projects.
You enter the home through the front door into a hallway with white walls, timber effect flooring and dark timber skirting boards and door frames. A staircase rises to the first floor, featuring attractive decorative black metal balustrades and carpeted steps.
The living room has plenty of room for relaxing. Cream painted walls and a warm red coloured carpet create a welcoming atmosphere, complemented by ceiling spotlights overhead. A large timber fireplace is an attractive focal point, with a dark wooden mantel supported by chunky timber brackets and a black hearth beneath. Fitted corner shelves and cupboards give you a handy display and storage space.
The kitchen has warm timber effect cabinets and dark worktops which create an attractive, modern appearance. The cabinets are arranged around three sides, with a built-in electric oven housed within a tall unit, while a black ceramic hob is fitted into the worktop nearby. A wide curved archway opens into the adjoining dining area, creating a separate space for family meals. This area has a patterned wallpaper, light coloured flooring and a radiator on the internal wall. There’s room for a table and chairs. The glazed French doors here open directly onto a raised timber deck in the garden, making it easy to step outside in warmer months.
The separate utility room provides valuable additional space for laundry and other household tasks. Timber cabinets are complemented by long dark worktops and there’s another stainless steel sink and drainer. A traditional ceiling mounted clothes airer is another useful feature of the room, particularly during the wetter months.
The ground floor bathroom is a spacious room with attractive grey marble effect wall panels. A large corner bath fills one section of the room, with dark timber effect side panels and chrome taps. Alongside the bath is a separate shower enclosure, fitted with an electric shower. A white toilet and wash basin complete the suite, while a large timber framed window provides natural light and ventilation.
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor. The first is a comfortable double with cream coloured walls and a rich burgundy carpet. A wide timber framed window floods the room with light, while the dark timber skirting boards and door surrounds add warmth to the decoration. One of the most attractive features of this room is the amount of fitted storage, with large mirror fronted sliding wardrobe doors along one wall and additional timber louvred doors providing further cupboard space on another.
Bedroom two/Study is a smaller room that would make a good single bedroom, nursery or home office, depending on your needs. The room has cream walls, grey patterned carpet tiles and a timber framed window looking out towards the garden and trees. Built-in shelves sit beside the door, providing handy storage or display space, while a white radiator is fitted along the adjoining wall.
The staircase leads up to the first floor, where three further are found. Bedroom three has white painted walls and a blue carpet. The sloping ceiling creates an interesting shape where a fitted rooflight window brings natural light into the space. Dark timber doors and skirting boards provide contrast against the lighter décor.
Bedroom four is a similar room with pale walls, a neutral coloured carpet and sloping sections of ceiling that reflect the attic design. A timber framed window is positioned within a dormer section of the room. There’s also a small alcove beneath one of the angled ceiling sections, adding an interesting feature.
Bedroom five is a very spacious double room, with the added benefit of its own en-suite shower room. The bedroom has neutral coloured walls, a patterned burgundy carpet and ceiling spotlights. A timber framed window looks out over the surrounding greenery, while a large mirror fronted sliding wardrobe provides plenty of storage for clothes and belongings. There’s plenty of room for a double bed and further bedroom furniture in here. The en-suite shower room is a valuable addition with a white toilet, pedestal basin and a large shower enclosure.
Outside, the property has extensive garden grounds giving you a wonderful amount of outdoor space. The large lawns extend around the house, with trees forming an attractive natural backdrop.
