Matheson Road, Ardgay, IV24 3AG

West Gate forms part of the historic Migdale House site just outside Bonar Bridge, where the buildings have been redeveloped into distinctive homes. This semi detached, C Listed property, combines traditional architectural character with modern internal space, creating a home that feels both unique and practical.

Approaching the property, a timber archway and gate lead you into the garden. A paved pathway guides you towards the front door while the surrounding grounds are mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs adding colour and structure around the edges. There is a section of stone chips where a timber shed provides useful outdoor storage. From the property you can enjoy open views across the surrounding countryside with rolling hills forming the wider backdrop.

Stepping inside, the entrance hallway immediately sets the tone for the interior. Grey vinyl tile flooring sits by the entrance before transitioning into quality wooden flooring as the hallway opens up. The space feels bright and clean with white painted walls, white internal doors and matching skirting throughout. A dark grey radiator sits neatly against the wall while the generous proportions give the hallway a welcoming feel.

The main living space sits just off the hallway and is designed as a large open plan kitchen, dining and sitting area. As you enter, the kitchen sits to the left. Light coloured cabinets with chrome handles are paired with black worktops, creating a simple and modern finish. A built in double oven is positioned within a tall run of units while an induction hob sits on the worktop beside it. The stainless steel sink is set beneath a window which allows natural light to fall across the workspace. The kitchen is arranged in a practical U shape layout and finished with grey vinyl flooring underfoot.

As the room opens into the rest of the living space, the flooring changes back to the wooden flooring that flows from the hallway. The room itself is generous and filled with light thanks to multiple windows positioned along three walls. At the centre of the space sits a large multi fuel stove mounted on a black slate hearth. This acts as a natural focal point while also providing warmth during colder months. With its size and open layout, the room comfortably accommodates dining furniture alongside a sitting area, making it the natural hub of the home.

A door from this space leads into the utility room. Although narrow in shape it provides useful additional storage and work surface space. Matching cabinets continue from the kitchen design and are topped with the same black worktop. There is space here for laundry appliances as well as a second sink. An overhead pulley clothes airer has also been installed which is ideal for drying clothes indoors.

Back off the hallway you’ll find the two ground floor bedrooms and the main bathroom. The main bedroom is a spacious double room with clean white painted walls and a deep set window which allows natural light into the room. A radiator sits on one wall and the room offers plenty of space for bedroom furniture. The room benefits from its own en-suite shower room which includes a large shower enclosure, toilet and basin.

Bedroom two is another double room finished with white painted walls and a tall deep set window. The room currently has no floor coverings which gives new owners the opportunity to choose their own finish.

The bathroom is finished in neutral tones with clean white walls and cream coloured floor tiles. A large bath sits along one wall with a shower screen fitted to the side and a mixer shower mounted above. Darker wetwall panels surround the bath area while the room also includes a toilet and basin with a radiator providing warmth.

The staircase from the hallway leads directly into the home’s third bedroom on the attic floor. This is a double bedroom with sloping ceilings and rooflight windows on both sides which bring natural light into the room. White painted walls and a light beige carpet keep the space bright and neutral, while a dark grey radiator provides warmth.

The property benefits from electric heating with radiators installed throughout the home. Hot water is supplied through the main system with the tank located within the hall cupboard. Timber replacement sash windows provide double glazing while the external doors are constructed from timber with glazed sections.

With its main open plan living space, character features and countryside setting, West Gate offers something quite different from the average modern home. For buyers looking for a property with individuality and space, all set within a peaceful rural community, then this is the home for you. Contact Hamish Homes to arrange your viewing today!
