Living/Dining room (8.0m x 5.5m) 

This room has amazing light and with the double height ceiling, with eight south-facing windows, the light from the floor-to-ceiling staircase window and a further two Velux windows in the ceiling, this room is stunning. The irregular shape provides character with the wooden floors and exposed wooden beams contrasting beautifully with the white walls. A multi-fuel stove is inset to a feature fireplace and sits on a slate hearth. Blinds. Curtains and curtain rail. Ceiling fan with spotlights. Cupboard containing hot water tank. The kitchen is open plan to the dining area.  

The upstairs living space has the advantage, aside from the view, of being above the winter shadows cast by the neighbouring buildings and of maximising the light and passive solar warmth from the low angle winter sunshine. It is also warmed by heat rising from the bedrooms downstairs, minimising the need to use the upstairs radiators. As it is above the eye-line of passing foot traffic it is very private. 

Dining kitchen (2.8m x 3.5m) 

A spacious open-plan kitchen with a wide range of lower and upper cabinets. Integrated dishwasher, oven and electric hob (new) with extractor fan above. A one-and-a-half bowl sink with mixer taps is integral to the granite countertop, sitting beneath the window to the rear garden and trees behind.

A convenient upstairs WC comprising a two-piece white suite with a WC and wall-mounted corner basin with tiled backsplash. Wooden floor. Window. Extractor fan. 

Mezzanine Study/Snug (2.5m x 2.1m) 

Accessed from the living room via a ladder installed against the wall, this wonderful snug area provides a quiet area for reading or meditating. With shelved alcoves to either side of the chimney breast and a wooden floor, this area feels completely removed from the home itself. Electricity points. 

 Garden and grounds 

407a Field of Dreams has gardens to the front and rear of the house.  A loc-bloc path leads to the front deck with beds of mature shrubs and lawn. A substantial deck provides a lovely outdoor seating area and can be accessed from the doors opening from Bedrooms 1 and 2.  A stone chip path leads around the side of 408 Field of Dreams to the rear of the house where there is a tiered garden and stone steps leading to the rear road. There is an area of lawn with a rotary dryer. Immediately adjacent to the rear of the house there is a woodshed and a further covered storage area. The shared boiler room, also containing a large communal hot water tank, a washing machine and ceiling-mounted clothes pulley is to the rear of the home.  

407a Field of Dreams is in a wonderful central location with The Park amenities all within a few minutes' walk.  

407a is part of the The Park Eco Village which aims to produce a low overall carbon footprint. A small wind farm provides a portion of the electricity needs for the community. There are many holistic offerings within the Park, the air is clean and the weather unusually sunny for the North of Scotland. The beach and sea are a 10-minute walk through the woods and the dunes, or a short bike ride along the road through Findhorn Village. These dunes are a small remnant of the second largest dune system in Europe, and thus this area has ecological and conservational significance. Some rare and endangered species are found in the dunes and other nearby habitats. Transport links by air and rail are close by. The Phoenix local shop stocks a wide range of organic produce. There is a café and the more widely known Universal Hall and Moray Art Centre.
