Regent Street, Keith, AB55 5ED

West End Cottage, found on Regent Street in the heart of Keith, is a handsome stone-built home with bags of traditional appeal. Set across three levels, it offers a surprising amount of space inside, with classic features such as an open fireplace that give it real character - and all just a short walk from local shops, schools and everyday essentials.

Externally, the property benefits from a driveway to the side, which slopes gently down toward a detached single garage built in stone and blockwork. There's also a lean-to shelter attached to the main home for additional covered storage. The garden wraps around the front and side of the house, enclosed by block and stone walls and features a mix of lawn, paving, gravel and planted shrubs. A private, enclosed feel makes it well-suited for pets to roam or children to play in, while the paved patio area offers a sheltered spot to sit out and enjoy the surroundings.

The front door opens into the ground floor hallway, which branches off to both the dining kitchen and the home’s two generous reception rooms. The kitchen is a warm and social space, with grey cabinets, solid wood worktops, soft pink walls and light square tiled splashbacks. Ceiling spotlights illuminate the area, while a large range cooker adds style and functionality. There’s space for a dishwasher, a sink beneath a window and plenty of room in the adjoining dining section for a table and chairs. Twin windows in this section ensure this is a light, usable everyday space.

The living room is positioned on one side of the hall and features an open fireplace set on a black tiled hearth with a matching surround. The decorative tiles on the fireplace and the log nook beside the chimney breast add real character, while the neutral walls, quality wooden flooring and dual aspect windows create a calm and comfortable setting.

A second reception room, currently used as a formal dining space, continues the elegant style, with two large windows, grey painted walls and one feature wall with a stylish patterned wallpaper. It’s large enough for entertaining or everyday dining while a pair of radiators keep the room warm in the colder months.

A discreet door beside the stairs opens to a second staircase which leads to the lower ground floor. Here, a generous utility room provides space for laundry and additional appliances, with the boiler housed neatly within. A separate room offers excellent storage space or could be used as a compact office or reading nook. At the rear of this level, a double bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, tiled in white and fitted with a toilet, basin and enclosed cubicle. This self-contained feel gives flexibility for multi-generational living or a more private guest space.

Heading to the upper level, the first floor holds two further bedrooms and the main family bathroom. One bedroom has a red carpet and neutral décor, with traditional built-in storage featuring white wooden cupboard doors with black hinges. The attic floor adds sloped ceilings that enhance character of both rooms. The second is also a comfortable double with cream walls and a striking red patterned feature wall. There’s space for a large bed and furniture, with a light red carpet and a window for natural light.

The bathroom is particularly spacious and beautifully appointed. A freestanding white roll-top bath with silver decorative feet, sits opposite a corner shower enclosure with dark-toned wetwall and an electric shower. The basin is a striking bowl set on top of a dedicated cabinet, with cupboard storage beneath and a large mirror mounted directly above. Next to it, the toilet is built into a matching unit, keeping the layout cohesive and practical. Wooden flooring and soft neutral walls bring warmth and continuity to the space, making this a luxurious room to unwind in.

Throughout the property, heating is provided via a gas-fired system supported by a boiler located in the utility room. Hot water is supplied from the same system, with a foam-insulated cylinder housed in the bathroom cupboard. The windows are a mix of traditional timber and uPVC frames, incorporating single, double and triple glazing in various areas of the home. A Velux-style window at the top floor landing brings in extra light, while doors are timber and uPVC too, some with double glazed sections. Smoke, carbon monoxide and heat detectors are installed, offering peace of mind for safety compliance.

All-in-all, West End Cottage offers a rare blend of history and adaptability, with three well-defined floors, multiple living spaces and a garden setting that’s both manageable and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a family base or a unique period property to make your own, this versatile Keith home deserves attention. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private viewing.
