Dover Street, Buckie, AB56 4LE

Set within the heart of picturesque Portknockie, just a short walk from the dramatic coastal scenery, this detached four bedroom villa blends the charm of its 1917 stone construction with bright, modern interiors and a generous layout across two floors. It’s an appealing choice for families, holiday home buyers or anyone looking for a spacious, distinctive home in a beautiful coastal setting.

Directly across from the property are the private garden grounds belonging to the home. They are laid in gravel and paving for easy upkeep and provide three private parking spaces as well as a seating area, offering rare outdoor space and parking convenience in this historic village location.

Inside, the open plan kitchen and dining area is a modern highlight, designed with glossy white cabinets finished with chrome handles. The black kickstrips and matching black worktops create a striking contrast, giving the space a contemporary feel. Along the main run of units is the Zanussi gas hob with an extractor hood above, while the tall housing to the side contains the built-in Zanussi oven and microwave. White brick style tiling with bold black grout frames the preparation areas beautifully, adding texture to the clean lines of the room. Wood effect flooring runs throughout, tying the kitchen and dining space together. In the dining area, crisp white walls keep things bright, complemented by a feature wall styled in slim white, black and grey tyle effect wallpaper that echoes the patterning found in the kitchen. It’s a sociable, polished space that works perfectly for everyday meals or entertaining.

The lounge is a wonderfully generous room with an interesting shape that adds character. Painted throughout in crisp white, it feels bright and extremely welcoming, with wooden flooring providing warmth underfoot. The room easily accommodates a large sofa with space for additional seating, tables and furniture. Wall mounted lights create a soft, ambient glow in the evenings while an artificial fireplace with wooden surround and a white marble effect hearth adds a focal point that enhances the cosy feel. It’s a superb space for relaxing and everyday living.

Also on the ground floor is bedroom four, a versatile room decorated in fresh white with a deep set window bringing in natural light. The room is a good size and currently accommodates both a sauna and a bed, emphasising its flexibility. It would make an excellent guest bedroom, hobby room, home office or treatment room depending on your needs.

The ground floor shower room has a beautiful modern finish. The large walk-in enclosure is lined with textured stone tiling, while the rest of the room continues the stone palette in larger format tiles on the walls and floor. A floating white vanity unit topped by a large white basin sits beneath a large backlit mirror, with a contemporary white toilet set beside. The overall effect is stylish, practical and easy to maintain.

Upstairs, the landing carries through the soft grey carpet from the staircase, paired with textured white wallpaper for a bright and comfortable feel. Three bedrooms and the main bathroom lead from here.

Bedroom one is exceptionally spacious. With a skylight window on each side of the sloped ceiling, the room enjoys balanced natural light throughout the day. Fresh white decor and soft grey carpet create a restful atmosphere while the generous floor space allows room for a large double bed and multiple pieces of furniture without feeling crowded.

Bedroom two is another generous double room, finished in the same clean white decor and grey carpet. Built-in cupboards offer great storage without taking up floor space and the combination of a standard window with an additional rooflight window ensures the room stays bright. It currently accommodates two single beds comfortably but would easily take a double and further furniture.

Bedroom three is a cosy double that has a charming layout with a sloping ceiling and a combination of a small rooflight window on one side and a larger window on the other. The white decor and grey carpet mirrors that of the other bedrooms.

The bathroom on this floor features grey tiling around the lower half of the walls and textured white wallpaper above. Light grey laminate flooring softens the look. A white vanity unit with storage for bathroom essentials, houses the the sink with the toilet sitting neatly to the side. A large white bath lines one wall while a rooflight window fills the room with natural light.

Overall, 13 Dover Street brings together period character, modern styling and a layout that works well for everyday life, all in a coastal village setting that many people travel far to enjoy. With its four bedrooms, bright open plan kitchen and dining space, welcoming lounge and smart shower room, it has the space and flexibility to suit families, couples or those looking for a distinctive second home by the sea. Add in the private parking for three vehicles and it becomes a very complete package in the heart of Portknockie. If this feels like the sort of place you could see yourself in, it is well worth arranging a viewing while it is still available.
