McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to offer this Grade C listed 5/6-bedroom traditional stone and slate detached property. The current owners during their tenure have ensured to retain a wealth of original features throughout the ongoing renovations and the quality of workmanship is evident externally and internally.

The property offers spacious and versatile living accommodations over two floors, and a mezzanine floor. Further benefitting from a multitude of stylish fittings and finishings, full double glazing, fresh décor and oil-fired central heating. This substantial property with many potential opportunities, will make a superb family home with room to grow and would also suit the extended family living. Early viewing is a must and is highly recommended and you will not be disappointed.

Set within beautiful gardens, this elegant family home also benefits from outbuildings that may lend themselves to alternative use, given the appropriate Local Authority consent.

Entered via the front door, the impressive welcoming hallway leads to two principal ground-floor rooms. The main lounge with its high ceiling sash and case windows to both the front and side, is a superbly light and airy room with an inset wood-burning stove adding that touch of grandeur and sets the tone for the remainder of the property. The other principal room is currently being utilised as the formal dining room, which also has a wood-burning stove. An archway leads through to the family room which has a window to the side and a door leading through to the rear hallway, the kitchen and the utility room.

A recently fitted modern kitchen with multiple wall and base-mounted units with contrasting work surfaces, and quality integrated appliances. A family dining table fits comfortably in the room together with a large dresser. Please note that the dresser will remain, as will the Rangemaster electric range cooker, fridge freezer and integrated dishwasher.

The spacious utility room benefits from a large built-in cupboard that houses the hot water tank. Space is provided for a tumble dryer and a large washing machine. The Belfast sink is set within a wooden unit. A door gives direct access to the rear parking area which leads to the garden. Also on the ground floor is the cloakroom which is fitted with a toilet and wash hand basin. This room also benefits from an opaque window which completes the ground floor accommodation.

An original carpeted sweeping staircase with wooden balustrades leads up to the mezzanine level and then onto the main first floor. The mezzanine level houses the family bathroom and a bedroom. Fitted with a bath, shower enclosure, toilet, and basin, the bathroom is a generously proportioned room with a window to the rear. Immediately adjacent is a large single bedroom with a window to the rear.

On the first floor, there are two exceptionally large double bedrooms with ample space for a wide range of standalone furniture. The main bedroom has windows to the front and side, with the side window looking towards the Moray Firth. There are two further bedrooms, one of which benefits from built-in storage. To the front, there is a good-sized study which has a large, fitted wardrobe and has the potential to be used as a sixth bedroom if required.

To the front of the property, steps lead up to the front door and are flanked by colourful beds well stocked with a selection of plants and shrubs.

The rear garden has access from the side, as well as via the village hall carpark. The carpark provides vehicular access to the substantial driveway which offers off-street parking for several vehicles. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and features an impressive summerhouse.
