Spacious Three Bedroom Family Home With Contemporary Interiors And Private Garden In Peaceful Muir of Ord Setting

Sitting on a gentle rise, 21 Burns Avenue feels immediately welcoming. This three bedroom semi-detached home dates from the late 1960s and sits within a quiet, well established part of the village, surrounded by similar family homes. With local shops, schools and the train station all close by, and Dingwall and Inverness within easy reach, it’s a great location for those who want a balance of village life and straightforward commuting.

The hallway makes a nice first impression with soft neutral tones, fitted carpet and the staircase drawing the eye upward. From here, to the right, the home opens into a bright living and dining space that stretches the full depth of the house. Light pours in through windows at both ends, creating a natural flow from front to back. The decor is modern, with soft wall colours and wood panelling adding subtle character. It’s an easy room to picture yourself in, large enough for comfortable seating and a dining table, yet still homely and warm.

Through a wide arched opening from the hallway you find the modern kitchen. The soft grey shaker style units are fitted with modern brushed steel handles and topped with warm wood effect worktops, creating a timeless look. Along one side, there’s an integrated electric hob with a sleek stainless steel extractor above, a built-in oven to one side and space beneath the counters for a washing machine and dishwasher. The flooring is hardwearing laminate and there’s a back door here that opens straight out to the garden.

The staircase, with its warm wooden banister, leads up to a small landing where all three bedrooms and the bathroom branch off. The bathroom has been beautifully updated, centred around a freestanding bathtub set on a subtle raised platform that gives the space a real sense of style. The grey wall panels pair neatly with soft toned walls, while the modern white vanity and chrome fittings, including a ladder towel radiator, keep everything sleek and easy to maintain. It’s a calm room that feels made for unwinding at the end of the day.

The main bedroom has a warm, natural feel, with muted oatmeal coloured walls. The soft grey carpet underfoot adds comfort, while the large window fills the room with daylight and offers an open view. There’s generous space for a king size bed and furniture, making it a genuinely comfortable and relaxing place to wind down.

The second bedroom is finished in soft grey tones that complement the light grey carpet. It’s an easy room to furnish, with ample room for a double or twin layout. The large window admits plenty of daylight and there’s a radiator complete with stylish wooden cover, to keep the room warm.

The third bedroom is generous in size. Plight coloured walls keep it bright and adaptable, while the fitted hanging rails and shelving along one side add a practical touch without crowding the space. It’s a straightforward, versatile room that could be a bedroom, dressing room or home office or study.

The home is fitted with double glazed uPVC windows and external doors, helping to retain warmth and reduce noise. Heating and hot water are provided by a Potterton Promax Combi gas boiler, located in a cupboard within the front bedroom and connected to radiators throughout. For safety, smoke detectors are installed in the hallway, lounge and landing, along with a heat detector in the kitchen.

The rear garden is a great size for families or those with pets, with a combination of grass and paved areas that make it easy to maintain and enjoy. Timber fencing provides privacy, while raised planters add a touch of character. A gate opens to a lane at the side of the house, which is understood to be part of the property and there’s also an off street parking space positioned just beyond the rear boundary fence, included within the title.

21 Burns Avenue offers the kind of home that families love. The layout is simple and well thought out, the finishes are contemporary without being cold, and the village setting adds a real sense of community. Everything here feels ready for someone new to move straight in and enjoy. With space for a growing family, easy access to local amenities and excellent transport links nearby, it’s a property that will appeal to anyone looking for a comfortable, modern home in the Highlands. Early viewing is highly recommended.
