Striking Modern Detached Home With Five Bedrooms, Expansive Living Space And Excellent Energy Efficiency

Set within the highly regarded Fowlers Croft development in Culbokie, this newly built detached home combines sharp contemporary design with the kind of internal space that genuinely suits modern family life. Completed in 2024, the property extends to around 188 square metres and immediately stands out with its striking architectural feel. Sitting on a generous plot that wraps around the home, it enjoys open areas of lawn, gravel parking and a detached garage.

The moment you step through the front door, the house immediately feels bright, open and modern, with the hallway flowing naturally into the main living areas. Light coloured wooden flooring runs throughout the ground floor, while the combination of white walls, ceiling spotlights and warm timber finishes around the doors and windows gives the space a clean contemporary feel.

The main living space has the lounge, dining area and kitchen all connected in one large sociable space. The lounge area sits to the front of the home with multiple windows bringing in natural light. A contemporary wood burning stove creates a focal point between the living and kitchen spaces, subtly dividing the room. The size means it can comfortably accommodate a large corner sofa without the space feeling crowded, leaving plenty of room for additional furniture.

The kitchen itself has a sleek modern finish with contrasting dark lower cabinets and white wall mounted units paired against stone effect worktops and matching splashbacks. A large central island provides additional room for preparation along with space for informal seating. The design has an integrated oven and microwave built neatly into tall cabinets on one side with an induction hob set into the worktop opposite. The far wall has wide sliding glazed doors that draw in huge amounts of natural light and makes it easy to nip out to the garden.

Just off the kitchen is a separate utility space with similar contrasting dark base units, light wall cabinets and matching stone effect worktops and splashbacks. The room provides a practical area to keep laundry and household tasks tucked away from the central living spaces.
From the main hallway are further rooms including a ground floor bedroom, shower room and another living room. This separate living room provides an additional space away from the open plan hub of the home. The room has a softer, more relaxed feel with fitted carpet underfoot adding warmth and comfort, making it ideal as a cosy evening lounge, cinema room or retreat for quieter family time. This practical second reception space gives the home flexibility for modern family living.

Positioned at the rear of the home you’ll find the ground floor bedroom. This is a comfortable double room finished in soft neutral tones with a grey fitted carpet. The large window draws in plenty of natural light with an outlook across the rear garden area. The size of the room means you can easily fit a large bed and additional furniture.
Serving the ground floor is a contemporary shower room finished with large marble effect wall tiles and a clean modern suite. The walk-in shower area is fitted with a rainfall head and handheld shower attachment, all set behind a fixed glass screen. There’s a vanity unit below the hand basin providing useful everyday storage. A chrome towel radiator completes the space.

The staircase rises to the first floor where the home continues to impress with four further bedrooms and the main family bathroom. The first bedroom on this floor is an excellent double room with twin roof windows and additional lower window sections adding character to the sloping ceiling. A built in wardrobe with sliding white painted wooden doors, provides excellent storage without impacting the floor space. Built-in shelving adds a practical finishing touch for displaying personal items. Exposed timber detailing within the ceiling helps soften the modern finish and gives the room additional warmth. A real advantage here is the adjoining en-suite shower room, fitted with a modern suite including a large shower enclosure, sink with vanity storage, toilet and chrome towel radiator. The roof window keeps the room bright and well ventilated, making this a particularly practical and comfortable principal or guest bedroom.

The remaining three bedrooms continue the same modern finish found throughout the home, each offering comfortable double accommodation with soft grey carpet, clean white walls and excellent natural light. Large roof windows feature prominently in each room, giving them a bright and airy feel.
Completing the first floor is the main family bathroom. It’s decorated with large marble effect tiles on the wall and quality fittings throughout. The room includes a separate shower enclosure and a full sized bath, giving flexibility for busy family life. You can choose between a quick shower or a more relaxed soak. A large roof window brings natural light into the room, while the sloping ceiling adds character without compromising the practicality of the layout. A floating cabinet in light grey has the basin on top, with a circular mirror mounted on the wall above.

The home has been designed with energy efficiency and low maintenance living in mind. Windows are timber casement double glazed units with aluminium cladding externally, while the external doors are of composite construction. Heating is provided by electric panel heaters alongside a wood burning stove within the main living space, creating both practicality and warmth during the colder months. A heat recovery system has also been installed to support ventilation and efficiency throughout the home. Hot water is supplied via solar panels and an electric immersion heater, with twelve large solar panels positioned across the rear roofline to further enhance the property’s energy performance.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a generous enclosed garden that provides plenty of space for families, entertaining or simply enjoying the quieter setting. A large area of lawn wraps around the home, bordered by timber fencing and gravel pathways. Positioned at the rear is a substantial timber decked seating area, creating an extension of the open plan living space and an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxing during the warmer months. The detached garage sits neatly at the side and matches the dark exterior finish of the main house, helping tie the whole development together visually.

There’s a real sense of quality and thought behind this home, from the striking exterior design right through to the practical layout and energy efficient features built in. The balance of open sociable spaces alongside quieter separate rooms makes it particularly well suited to modern family life, while the generous garden and detached garage complete the package outside. With its flexible five bedroom layout and sought after Culbokie setting, this is a property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers looking for something a different from the ordinary.
