54 Knockomie Rise, Forres, Moray, IV36 2HG

Located at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a popular residential area of Forres, this immaculate four-bedroom, detached home, with a lovely conservatory to the rear, would make a wonderful family home. With areas to sit out at any time of day both front and rear gardens are neatly manicured with areas of lawn and patio.

Modern and spacious. 54 Knockomie Rise is conveniently located within easy reach of medical and dental providers, supermarket, nursery and schools. There are nearby parks and wonderful woodland walks around Loch of the Blairs and Altyre woods.

A dual-aspect vestibule opens via a glazed-panel door into a well-proportioned hallway with two under-stair cupboards. Karndean flooring runs throughout the hall and downstairs living areas, tying the ground floor together neatly.

The sitting and dining room is bright and spacious, with a front-facing window and French doors to the conservatory. A wide arch connects through to the dining area, with a further door to the kitchen.

The conservatory is double-glazed on three aspects and gets good light throughout the day — a relaxed space for dining or reading whatever the season.

The modern kitchen has high-gloss units with chrome handles, dark grey matt worktops and matching backsplash, a black composite sink beneath the rear window, and integrated fridge, five-ring gas hob, oven and extractor. A breakfast bar adds an easy sociable touch.

The utility room has base and wall cabinets, an integrated dishwasher, a single sink, and a glazed door to the rear garden, with a door through to the garage. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, a carpeted U-shaped staircase rises to a light-filled landing giving access to all four bedrooms. All are doubles, comfortably sized and well finished — three face the rear, one to the front. Built-in wardrobes feature in every room, with mirrored sliding doors in two. One bedroom has the added benefit of a private ensuite with WC, basin, and mains shower.

The family bathroom has a three-piece white suite — WC, pedestal basin, and panelled bath with shower over and glass screen — along with fully tiled surrounds, decorative floor tiles, a Velux window, and a heated towel rail.

Garden and Garage

The garage is currently in use as a gym and houses a brand-new boiler installed in late 2024, providing modern, efficient heating for the whole property — a significant and very welcome upgrade. A timber garden shed provides further useful outdoor storage.

The rear garden is a well-manicured, peaceful space and an effective sun trap.  The rear patio area has beautiful flagstones with an area of lawn beyond.  Surrounding that there is wooden edging, behind which there is a good selection of trees and shrubs placed along the privacy fence providing a tranquil outdoor space to sit out or entertain.  A raised, slabbed, pathway leads from the back garden through a gate to the front of the house.

The front of this lovely, detached home is open and attractive, with a facing-stone feature to the porch and a paved path alongside a neat monobloc driveway with ample room for two cars. The garage has a dark wood-effect electric roller door, concrete floor, light and electricity points.

There is an area of lawn to the front garden, with mature trees and a wooden privacy fence providing a separation with the neighbouring garden. A pathway leads to the front door and around to an area of flagstones, which would make a lovely, and private, area for sitting out.  There is a gate into the side garden, which is laid to gravel and accommodates a wooden shed perfect for storing garden tools, bicycle and garden furniture.
