Roysvale Place, Forres, IV36 1PN

Situated in a quiet residential area of Forres, this mid-terraced bungalow was originally built around 95 years ago. It has been stylishly updated with double glazing and gas central heating and is ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or those looking for comfortable one-level living.

As you enter the home, you’re welcomed into a small entrance hall that leads directly into the main living area. The lounge features neutral décor, with cream walls and a large floral wallpaper feature wall. A decorative fireplace adds character and the thick grey carpet adds a cosy touch.

From the lounge, you move through an inner hallway which connects the rest of the rooms. From here you’ll find the kitchen and dining area, which has been stylishly finished. At the front end of the space, there’s room for a dining table. The rear kitchen section features sleek, glossy units with striking wavy chrome handles, black worktops and space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. The walls are tastefully decorated with leafy patterned wallpaper and the backsplash around the workspaces are finished in slim stone-effect tiles, giving the room a modern, clean look.

The main bedroom is a comfortable double room with white walls and a blue-toned feature wall. A standout feature here is the glazed uPVC door that opens directly onto the rear garden, providing easy access, lovely in warmer months. The second bedroom is found to the front of the property. It is slightly smaller but still a practical size.

The shower room is a standout feature of the home, with a sleek, high-spec shower enclosure as its focal point. The space is fitted with a modern three-piece suite, including a toilet and a wash-hand basin set within a stylish white vanity unit that offers built-in storage. The grey walls give a clean, contemporary feel and an illuminated mirror above the sink adds a touch of sophistication.

The front and rear gardens are designed for low maintenance. Both areas are a mix of paving, gravel and artificial grass. The back garden is especially appealing, with a large timber decked area that’s perfect for outdoor seating and relaxing. There’s also a paved section near a timber garden room, which could be used as a hobby space, garden bar or summer retreat. Raised beds offer a touch of greenery without requiring much upkeep. A timber shed with a felt roof provides additional storage.

This is a home with character, outdoor appeal and modern touches — all just a short distance from the shops, schools and amenities of Forres town centre.
