The Orchard, Fortrose, IV10 8ST

Small Heath is a detached three bedroom bungalow in Fortrose that has personality, generous proportions and trees and open fields beyond the rear garden.

To the front, a lawned garden sits behind a small timber fence, while a gravel driveway runs down the side of the property towards the semi-detached garage. It feels private and practical at the same time with easy parking, clear access and a sense of separation from the road.

Inside the lounge immediately draws you in. It’s a bright, confident space with deep yellow painted walls and a bold blue feature wall that frames the stone fireplace beautifully. A wide picture window brings in plenty of natural light and gives the room an open feel and a nice outlook. There’s more than enough space here for a sofa suite, chairs and furniture without the room ever feeling cramped.

Through an archway, the space flows into the dining area. The same carpet continues underfoot, while a striking pink feature wall adds energy and individuality. There’s room for a family table and chairs, making it a great spot to host dinner with loved ones or friends. Glazed doors open directly to the garden, making it easy to step outside on warmer days.

The kitchen sits alongside and makes a statement of its own. Glossy deep red cabinets with long chrome handles are paired with black laminate worktops for contrast. A double built-in oven is set neatly into a tall run of units, while the electric hob sits opposite, giving you a practical working layout. The stainless steel sink is positioned beneath the window overlooking the rear garden, so even everyday tasks feel connected to the outside. It’s a room that’s bold and full of character.

Just off the kitchen, the utility room keeps the practical side of life tucked away. There’s additional storage and room for laundry appliances, along with a door out to the garden. Another door opens back into the hallway making daily routines feel more organised.

The main bedroom is a generous double with light painted walls and a soft carpet underfoot. Storage is well catered for, with two large built-in double wardrobes providing plenty of space for clothes and personal items. The en-suite shower room adds real convenience, fitted with a shower cubicle with electric shower, toilet and sink, giving you privacy during busy mornings.

The second bedroom is another comfortable double, finished in cream tones with a square window bringing in natural light. Bedroom three continues the theme of good proportions. Cream walls, light carpet and a built-in wardrobe with wooden sliding doors give it practicality as well as comfort. A square window keeps the room bright, and there’s space for a double bed and furniture without compromise.
The family bathroom is finished in light, neutral tones. White tiling surrounds the bath and sink areas, while the rest of the walls are painted cream to keep the room feeling fresh. The light grey suite includes bath, toilet and sink, and there’s a built-in storage cupboard with wooden louvred doors to keep essentials tucked away. A large frosted window brings in natural light while maintaining privacy.
Outside is another plus point for the home. The rear garden rises gently upwards, mostly laid to lawn, with a patio area just outside the back door, an ideal spot for outdoor seating. As you move up the garden, the backdrop reveals woodland beyond, with open fields after that. The semi-detached garage provides additional storage or secure parking, with the driveway offering private off street parking for a number of vehicles.
This is a home that sticks in the memory. It’s colourful, confident and positioned to make the most of its setting. If you’re looking for single storey living with personality and a garden that feels connected to nature, this is one you’ll want to experience in person.
