Caralan, Carr Road, Carrbridge

Architecturally Designed Five-Bedroom Detached Villa with Striking Extension, Landscaped Gardens & Outdoor Living Space.

Nestled on the ever-popular Carr Road in the charming Highland village of Carrbridge, Caralan is an outstanding five-bedroom detached stone-and-slate villa, thoughtfully extended and architecturally designed to combine traditional character with contemporary living at its finest.

Originally built in 1896 then extended in 2008 the property has been significantly upgraded with a substantial, energy-efficient extension that flows seamlessly from the original villa, creating a warm and modern open-plan living space.

The stunning kitchen/dining/lounge area is the true heart of the home – the German designed kitchen boasts a large central island, quartz worktops, integrated “NEFF” appliances which include a fan-assisted oven, separate steam oven and combination microwave oven, two warming drawers, coffee machine, induction hob, dishwasher, Quooker hot tap and two fridge freezers, a walk-in larder, and floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that lead out to a sun terrace. A rotatable wood-burning stove in the main lounge adds both ambience and flexibility, while a second sitting room with open fire provides a more comfortable retreat.

Designed for comfort and luxury, the home includes three beautifully finished modern bedrooms at the front of the property, with built-in wardrobes and one being en-suite. The fifth bedroom offers flexibility as a bedroom, games room, home office or potential as a self-contained annex. The showpiece is the master suite – a serene and spacious room with its own private sitting area, a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, and a luxurious four-piece en-suite bathroom, benefiting from “roca” sanitaryware and high level Velux windows which allow natural daylight.

A generous boot room, laundry room, and excellent internal storage enhance everyday practicality, while the interior design remains stylish and cohesive throughout.

Externally, Caralan is equally impressive. The landscaped garden grounds are a true highlight – perfect for entertaining or relaxing – and feature a bespoke outdoor kitchen, timber garage, car port, and a private driveway.
