A desirable detached bungalow with private gardens situated in a prime residential area of Forres, within easy reach of all amenities.  Cruachan is an excellent prospect for those wishing to downsize and would, equally, make a great family home.

Entering through a wooden front door with a small glass panel and 2 glazed side screens into the vestibule (1.8m x 1.5m), a welcoming space with laminate flooring and practical area of coir matting.  A wooden door with glazed panels leads into the hallway.  The hallway is carpeted, L-shaped and provides access to all accommodation.  There is a double built-in cupboard in the hallway containing the electrical consumer unit and shelves for linens.  Also in the hallway is the loft access hatch.

Living room (4.2m x 5.4m)

A spacious dual aspect living room with a large window looking to the front of the house and a second window looking to the side.  Vertical blinds, curtains and curtain poles on both windows.  A feature fireplace with electric coal-effect fire, marble hearth and wooden mantlepiece and surround provides a cosy focal point to the room.  Carpet.

Bedroom 1 (3.9m x 3.4m)

An ample double bedroom with front-facing window and vertical blinds, curtain rail and curtains.  A double built-in wardrobe with wooden sliding doors, hanging rail and shelf provides plentiful storage.  Carpet.

Dining Kitchen (3.8m x 3.7m)

The bright and spacious dining kitchen has a good range of upper and lower cabinets and drawers and is roomy enough to accommodate a table seating 4.  Marble-effect worktops and a single stainless-steel sink with drainer and mixer tap.  A large window with roller blind looks out to the rear garden.  Space for a free-standing cooker, with extractor fan above, and space for a fridge.  Vinyl flooring.  Wooden door from kitchen leading to utility room.

Utility Room (2.8m x 3.3m)

The utility room is of generous proportions, with plenty of storage cabinets and worktops along 2 walls.  Single sink with a drainer and a clear Perspex back splash around it, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a dryer.  Also, sufficient space for a freezer.  Rear-facing window with roller blind.  Vinyl flooring.  Half-glazed timber door leading to the back garden and a further door from the utility room to the garage.

Loft Space

This superb and substantial additional living space is a real asset, ideal perhaps for a comfy retreat to relax in, a gaming den and/or playroom.  The loft area is fully floored, the walls are lined with plasterboard and a radiator, lights and power sockets are in place.

Integrated Garage (3.5m x 5.0m)

The single garage has a wooden up-and-over door and houses the gas boiler.  Plenty of power sockets and 2 strip-lights, as well as wall-mounted shelving.  Concrete floor.

Outside

The front garden has 2 sets of double decorative metal gates, providing pedestrian access to the garden and vehicular access to the driveway and garage. There is a broad, tiled step up to the front door and a handrail. The front garden is mainly laid to paving slabs with gravel areas.    Opposite the front door is a long, raised bed with stone facing along the edge and a further raised bed between the front garden and side gardens.  The beds are planted with heathers and pretty flowers and this secluded garden is bounded by a lovely stone wall with coping.  A wooden gate to the side of the house leads to the rear gardens.

The side garden continues with easy maintenance paving, featuring a raised seating area with roses and trellis above.  Further raised bed, planters and pond with a water feature.

The large summer house has a wall of windows and a further window to the side; a lovely place to enjoy the sunshine in comfort or perhaps to create an office space.

The rear garden is paved, has gravel areas and is bounded with an attractive high stone wall.  A small wooden shed, further concrete slabs around the side of the house and a wooden gate complete these wrap-around gardens.  A wall topped by a small section of trellis forms the boundary with the neighbouring property.
