Contemporary in design yet beautifully attuned to its Highland surroundings, Burnbrae is an impressive detached home of circa 300 sq m, set within just over a quarter of an acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the historic village of Carrbridge, within the Cairngorms National Park. Occupying a peaceful position in a small cluster of quality homes, the property enjoys the best of both worlds – the village centre is within easy walking distance, yet from almost every room there are far-reaching views over the River Dulnain, Cairngorm Mountain and Carrbridge Golf Course, creating a delightful sense of space, light and connection to the landscape. The accommodation is generous and flexible, arranged to suit modern family life with a bright open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that naturally lends itself to both relaxed living and entertaining, alongside a useful laundry room, cloakroom and integral garage. Above the garage sits a superb leisure room with dedicated sauna space, offering a private wellness retreat or media room within the home. Upstairs, a spacious principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite, together with three further well-proportioned bedrooms (one further en-suite) and a family bathroom, all make the most of the beautiful outlooks. Outside, the property sits within easily managed grounds with seating areas that make the most of the views, while ample parking adds to its practicality. Stylishly presented throughout, Burnbrae has also been a successful holiday let and benefits from a short-term letting licence (UPRN ), making it equally appealing as a welcoming family home or high-quality investment in one of the Highlands’ most sought-after villages, with outstanding access to walking, cycling, wildlife, rivers, forests and local amenities right on the doorstep.
