Skoorah, Errogie, IV2 6UH

Errogie is a quiet rural area and this detached home benefits from sitting within its open countryside, surrounded by trees, grassland and widely spaced neighbouring properties. It feels private without being isolated, with a clear sense of space around it and views that change with the seasons. The house itself is arranged over two levels, with the main living space lifted up to take advantage of that setting.

The entrance leads into a hallway on the ground floor, where the layout opens out. At the end of the hall, the snug offers a comfortable second living area. It has white painted walls, a striped carpet and a timber lined ceiling, with a window framed in bright blue that matches the door frame. It’s a relaxed space that works well for a sofa and television, slightly separate from the main living area upstairs.

Just off this room is the shower room, fitted with a shower enclosure and electric Mira shower, along with a tall chrome towel radiator. The WC sits separately nearby, with a toilet, pedestal sink and its own radiator.

Also on this level is the first bedroom, and it’s a generous one. It has white painted walls and windows to both the front and rear which bring in light from either side. Two large built-in wardrobes with white painted timber doors on one wall, giving plenty of storage without taking up floor space.

The staircase with its dark blue painted banister leads up to the first floor and into the main living level. The change in level makes a difference here, both in light and outlook. The kitchen and living space are open plan, but still feel naturally divided. The kitchen has a distinctive look, with white cabinets finished with small coloured dots and matching round handles. The worktops are wood effect, with an integrated oven and microwave set into a tall unit, alongside an AEG induction hob. A stainless steel sink sits beneath one window while the flooring is a grey wood effect finish that works well in this part of the room.

Moving through, the living area softens with carpet underfoot and white painted walls. The focal point here is the wood burning stove, set into a deep blue painted fireplace, which anchors the room. Built-in shelving runs along one wall, adding practical storage without crowding the space. Windows on multiple sides bring in consistent light, and from this elevated position there are open views across the surrounding countryside. From here, sliding glazed doors open out onto a timber balcony, with a ramp leading down into the garden.

The home’s second bedroom can also be found on this level. It has a sloping ceiling to one side, with both a standard window and rooflights drawing in light from different angles. The walls are white, the flooring is a light grey carpet and there’s a small radiator too. The irregular shape of the room creates a natural alcove, currently used as a workspace, and there’s a built-in wardrobe with sliding timber doors here as well. This room has an en-suite which adds colour and contrast, with a mix of warm yellow painted walls and white sections. There’s a large corner bath with dark blue side panels, along with a separate enclosed shower cubicle, giving you the choice between a quick shower or a longer soak.

Heating and hot water are provided by an electric system supported by an air source heat pump located outside. The system feeds radiators and towel rails throughout the house, with the hot water tank positioned in a cupboard within the upstairs bedroom.

Outside, the grounds wrap around the house and give a mix of open defined spaces. The front is approached by a stone chip driveway, with lawn areas, mature trees and planting creating a natural feel. There’s an electric car charging point mounted beside the garage. To the rear, a timber balcony and walkway connect the upper part of the home to the garden, which includes grass areas, vegetable patches, a pond and sections for planting. There’s a detached outbuilding along with two covered car port areas attached to the house, while timber fencing defines the boundaries.

This is a home that suits someone looking for space, privacy and a connection to the surrounding landscape, while still having a layout that works day to day. The elevated living area, outdoor space and mix of practical features all come together in a way that’s easy to settle into. The best way to appreciate this home is to view it in person, so contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private appointment.
