High Street, Aberlour, AB38 9QA

Right in the centre of Aberlour, this is a property that offers two completely separate ways of living, brought together in one building.

On the ground floor, a fully set up guest house runs as its own space, while above, with its own private entrance from the street, sits a private two storey home that feels entirely independent. It suits someone looking for a lifestyle change where home and business work side by side, but it makes just as much sense for extended family living, where everyone has their own space without being on top of each other.

The guest house at 102a has been designed with care. The entrance vestibule gives a warm welcome, with painted timber panelling and a clean, simple finish that feels looked after from the outset.

The lounge is a long, narrow room, but it doesn’t feel restricted. The tall window to the front draws in a good amount of natural light with the second window to the side keeping it balanced through the day. The deep recess around the front window adds a bit of character, giving it more presence than a standard flat wall.

At one end, the original fireplace with its exposed stone inset and solid timber mantel gives the room a clear focal point.
The kitchen has a more modern feel, with glossy white cabinets and chrome handles giving it a clean, bright look.

The white worktops sit comfortably against the units, while the brick style tiling with darker grout adds a nice contrast. Everything is laid out in a way that works, with space for appliances beneath the counters and the sink set neatly along the far wall. The built-in oven and induction hob with extractor above, finishes the space off neatly. Just off the kitchen, a large cupboard gives you options, whether that’s extra storage, a pantry or as a small utility type space.

This property has three double bedrooms, all en-suite. Bedroom one is a generous size with a wide window to the side, flooding the room with light.

The neutral white walls and light grey carpet keep the room calm while there’s a heater fitted for warmth. The en-suite continues that sense of space, with a simple layout that separates the shower from the built-in sink and toilet. The white tiling and grey flooring keep it clean and practical.

Bedroom two sits to the front of the home and benefits from a tall window. It’s another good sized double, with a clean neutral finish that keeps it feeling fresh. The en-suite has white tiling broken up by a subtle mosaic border that adds interest without overpowering the room. The shower is set neatly into the side, with the toilet tucked into the corner and the sink sitting on a compact unit below a modern electric lit mirror.

Bedroom three follows the same approach. The tall window to the side brings in light, while the clean white walls keep the space open and flexible. The en-suite mirrors the overall style, with white tiling, a built-in sink and toilet and a square shower cubicle set neatly into the room. The lit mirror above the sink adds a modern touch. Everything is laid out in a way that makes the space easy to use day to day.

The property at 102 is a completely separate home, entered from its own private door on the High Street. Entering, you’re faced with a timber staircase which leads up to a large landing. This area has soft neutral coloured walls and timber finishes, with timber skirtings, internal doors, door frames and dado rail.

The lounge is a room that immediately feels more generous than you expect. The ceiling height gives it presence and the tall windows at the front draw in plenty of light, with the deep recesses adding depth to the walls. The fireplace sits centrally within a large white surround, giving the room a clear focal point. The mix of decorative wall finishes adds character, with softer patterned walls balanced by the deeper red tones.

To one side of the fireplace an alcove with timber shelving and a cupboard below adds useful storage.
Next door, the dining room has a slightly more relaxed feel but still carries the same sense of space. There’s room here to properly sit down with space for a large table and chairs while the tall window at the front keeps the room bright through the day. The wood burning stove set into the stone fireplace adds a natural focal point, with the timber mantel above giving it a solid, traditional feel. It’s the kind of room that suits both everyday use and longer evenings gathered around the table.

The first of the four bedrooms is on this floor and is a comfortable double. The tall window to the side brings in natural light with a cupboard beneath making good use of the space. The room is decorated with a mix of styles, two walls with white and black floral patterns and two with a neutral colour. The carpet underfoot is dark grey as contrast, and there’s a radiator on the inner wall to keep it warm in colder months.

The kitchen sits along towards the rear of the property and is a long space with units running in an L-shape. The cabinets are finished in a soft sage green, paired with white worktops that add a bit of character. White marble effect tiles line the walls around the work areas, keeping everything clean and bright. The induction hob, built-in oven and microwave above are neatly set into one section, while the stainless steel sink sits under the window for natural light. There’s a timber worktop section set up for casual seating, ideal for a quick coffee or bite to eat. A separate staircase from this room leads directly outside toward the garages, which is a really practical touch for everyday use.

The bathroom sits just off the main hallway and has been arranged with a bath along one wall with centrally mounted taps, giving it a more relaxed feel when you’re using it. Along the far wall, a large built-in unit houses the sink and toilet, with storage worked in neatly below. The walls are tiled through the main areas, with lighter painted sections above to keep the room feeling open.

Up on the second floor, the house continues to feel generous with three further bedrooms and a shower room branching off the landing.

Bedroom two is a generous double, with a large dormer window to the front that really opens the room up and brings in good natural light. The walls are kept neutral, with a light grey carpet underfoot and there’s a built-in cupboard with white louvred doors along one wall. A radiator sits neatly alongside to keep the space comfortable.

Bedroom three is another strong double, slightly larger, with soft light pink walls that give it a warm feel. One full wall is taken up by built-in wardrobes with triple timber louvred doors, providing plenty of storage. The front facing dormer window mirrors bedroom two, adding both light and usable floor space.

Bedroom four is a smaller double but still a very usable room. The ceiling slopes into the eaves on both sides, giving it that attic-style character, while a dormer window to the side brings in light.

The walls are painted a soft purple, with one feature wall finished in a Parisian style patterned wallpaper that adds a bit of personality. A radiator sits below the window.
The shower room has a more refined, styled finish. Gold fittings run throughout, from the taps and shower head to the enclosure edging and towel radiator, which immediately catches your eye. The shower itself is a walk-in enclosure with a rainfall head above, while alongside there’s a traditional green unit with the sink set on top, and a built-in toilet and bidet. Wood effect flooring grounds the space and a large frosted window brings in natural light while keeping privacy.

Outside, two garages sit to the side with plenty of space in front for parking on the stone chipped area. It’s practical, easy to manage and works well whether you’re running the guest house or simply using the space for family.
Overall this is a property that gives you real choice. You can continue running it as a guest house with a comfortable home above or you could shape it into something that suits your own plans, whether that’s as a larger family option or longer term rental. The key is that both spaces already work as they are and are finished to an exceptional standard. Seeing them in person will make this much clearer, so contact Hamish Homes right now to arrange your own private viewing.
