Ormonde Terrace, Avoch, IV9 8QU

There are houses where the view is a bonus. Here, it’s part of everyday life. Set on an elevated position right on the coast, this home looks straight out across the inner Moray Firth towards Chanonry Point. A recently completed attic conversion now offers a fully formed top floor suite that completely changes how the house feels and functions.

As you approach the home, you find the front garden is slightly raised, reached by a few stone steps. It’s laid to lawn and framed by white rendered stone walls, giving the house presence from the street.

Inside, the living room sits to the front, and this is where the outlook really comes into its own. Large windows frame the water views, bringing in natural light throughout the day. Wooden flooring runs underfoot, while light coloured walls keep the space bright. One wall features grey patterned wallpaper, drawing attention to the chimney breast where a wood burning stove is set within grey tiled surrounds, finished with a wooden mantlepiece and black hearth. Ceiling spotlights add additional light in the evenings. It’s a comfortable room with real character, and the view gives it something extra.

From here you move through to the kitchen. This is a modern space with light coloured cabinets fitted with long chrome handles and wood effect laminate worktops above. White tiling lines the worktop areas for practicality, and wooden flooring continues through the room. A built in oven sits below the hob, with an extractor hood positioned over. The stainless steel sink is placed beneath a large window, allowing natural light to fall across the work surfaces. There’s also space beneath the counter for a dishwasher.

A door from the kitchen leads into the utility and rear vestibule area. This is a practical addition, offering further storage along with space for laundry appliances and a tall fridge freezer, helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered.

Back towards the front of the house, the ground floor shower room sits just off the hallway. It’s finished with neutral painted walls, sleek wetwall panels within the shower cubicle and an electric shower. A pedestal basin and white toilet sit either side of a chrome towel radiator, creating a clean and functional layout.

Bedroom one is a double room finished in neutral tones, with grey carpet underfoot. One wall has been decorated with woodland themed wallpaper, adding personality without overwhelming the space. Built in wardrobes with mirror fronted sliding doors provide excellent storage in here too.

The second bedroom is also a double and sits to the front of the house, allowing you to wake up to those delightful open views each morning. Light grey walls and grey carpet keep the finish simple, and there’s a radiator fitted for warmth.

The staircase to the attic floor rises from the side of the living room and leads to what is now a real standout feature of the property. The newly completed top floor bedroom is a generous double set beneath sloping ceilings, finished in light grey tones with matching carpet. A large dormer window with double glazing looks directly out over the water, while a rooflight window brings in additional light from above. The proportions allow for full bedroom furniture without the space feeling compromised by the eaves. The en-suite bathroom is another luxury addition. A deep freestanding bath with wall mounted taps, sits prominently against one wall, creating a focal point as soon as you step in. On the opposite wall is a separate shower cubicle fitted with a rainfall shower head, giving you the option of a long soak or a quick shower. A sink and toilet complete the suite, with grey wood effect flooring running throughout. It feels like a proper private retreat at the top of the house.

Outside, the rear garden is compact and laid with stone chips for easy maintenance. There is a metal shed and a timber log store providing useful outdoor storage.

With approximately 103 square metres of internal space, brand new attic conversion and uninterrupted views across the Moray Firth, this is a home that offers something quite special. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private viewing and to soak up the special location this home enjoys.
