This is a characterful village home with a layout that offers far more than first meets the eye. Found on Rosemarkie High Street, the house blends traditional charm with modern extended living space, a light filled conservatory and a detached one bed annexe within the garden. It’s the kind of home that has plenty of flexibility for family life, guests or additional income.

The entrance hall provides a welcoming arrival point and leads through to the main ground floor rooms. To the right of the hallway is the first sitting room, a warm and inviting space finished with light neutral walls and wooden flooring. A large decorative fireplace with a black surround anchors the room, while an alcove with shelving creates a natural spot for books, artwork or personal touches. A window looks out to the street and there’s a large radiator on the internal wall to keep the room comfortable.

The second sitting room is a space full of character and contrast. Wood effect flooring runs underfoot, while an open fireplace with a wood burning stove forms the focal point. A decorative wooden beam mantel sits above, adding warmth and texture. Three of the walls are finished with wood panelling, giving the room a cosy, natural feel, while the remaining wall is painted a soft neutral white. Two windows that look out to the front bring in natural light and complete the room.

The kitchen sits towards the rear of the home and opens directly into the conservatory beyond. It has a modern feel, fitted with wood coloured units finished with chrome handles and topped with black acrylic worktops. The worktop extends into a breakfast bar area with space for stools, creating a relaxed spot for everyday meals or a relaxing morning coffee. A built-in oven and hob are fitted and included. A black composite sink completes the look.

Flowing from the kitchen, the conservatory is a bright, uplifting space with a high glazed ceiling that draws in natural light throughout the day. Currently used as a dining area, it would work just as well as a family sitting space, garden room or informal living area, with easy access to the outdoors.


A rear hall leads to the ground floor shower room, which is fitted with a corner shower enclosure lined with large tiles for easy cleaning. The floor is tiled, and the room also includes a toilet and sink. A slim, high level window on the external wall allows light in while maintaining privacy.

Upstairs, the landing leads to two generous bedrooms and the main bathroom. The first bedroom is a large double room decorated with yellow wallpaper featuring delicate grey and white leafy patterns. Built in storage cupboards with four doors provide excellent space for clothes and belongings with a light grey carpet running underfoot. The second bedroom is another large double room, finished with clean, light neutral walls and two slim windows that bring in natural light, creating a calm and airy feel.

The bathroom is a generous and well balanced room. A large corner shaped bath is finished with wooden side panels that add warmth and character. A Velux style roof window above draws daylight down into the room, keeping it naturally light throughout the day and enhancing the sense of openness. It’s a calm, practical space that works well as it is, while also offering plenty of scope for someone to personalise over time.

The home also benefits from a detached annexe which sits within the garden, adding an exciting layer of versatility. It could work well as guest accommodation or as an income opportunity through longer term or holiday letting. Inside, the sitting room features a striking exposed stone wall with a fireplace set into it, housing a small wood burning stove. Exposed structural beams add to the character, while the remaining walls are painted a neutral white. A built in storage cupboard sits neatly within a partition wall with a ladder leads up to the sleeping area above.

The bedroom space is positioned above the shower room and kitchen and is accessed via the ladder from the sitting room. Set within the roof, it offers a cosy sleeping area with room for a bed and a small piece of furniture. The pitched ceilings create a snug, tucked away feel that suits the space well.

The annexe kitchen is compact and practical, fitted with small built in units, an induction hob and space for an under counter fridge. Off the kitchen is a walk in shower room, finished with tiling around the toilet and sink and wetwall panelling within the shower area for easy maintenance.

Outside, the rear garden offers a mix of patio seating areas, decorative gravel and an array of shrubs, plants and flowers. It’s a private space that works well for outdoor dining, relaxing and enjoying the quieter side of village life. There is the added benefit of a wood fired hot tub which adds to the allure of the overall feel of this property.

This is a home full of personality, offering flexible living, period charm and the added benefit of a detached annexe. With its central Rosemarkie setting, generous accommodation and range of possible uses, it’s a property that invites imagination and is best appreciated by viewing in person.
