On offer is over 2,000 sq. ft. of stylish, light-filled accommodation, including bright and sociable living spaces, three generous bedrooms and uninterrupted views of the Moray Firth.

The penthouse can be accessed either by staircase leading up to the apartment front door and into the outer entrance hall, or via the fob-secured lift that opens directly into the expansive sunroom with its fully-glazed wall and bi-fold doors leading onto the 29ft. balcony. This room and balcony are ideal for entertaining whilst enjoying a spectacular coastal outlook. The accommodation then flows further via a central hallway, opening onto the capacious open plan living rooms, including a lounge area, a dining space with charming dual bay windows and a well-appointed kitchen. The kitchen offers a range of high gloss cabinetry, worksurfaces, a breakfast bar and a variety of deluxe modern integrated appliances including double oven and a wine cooler. On the other side of the hallway are the well-proportioned bedrooms offering attractive inland views and a range of bespoke fitted sliding wardrobes. The dual-aspect principal suite enjoys the use of a luxury en suite/family shower room with a sizeable walk-in shower, with one further bedroom also benefitting from a contemporary en suite shower room.

A grand and characterful communal entrance with tall arches and a wide stairway gives access to the main building.

The apartment benefits from a full sprinkler system, an intruder alarm and a video security entry system linked to the common entrance doors. The apartment provides an unusual amount of storage space, having cleverly incorporated wall space in its design.
