Conval Street, Keith, AB55 4AH

Set right on Conval Street in Dufftown, the traditional stone exterior gives little away, but as you step inside you find a space that’s been completely reimagined with bold, confident design choices throughout. It’s a house that balances its age with a modern edge, where original character meets a very deliberate, contemporary style, and it’s that contrast that makes it memorable from the outset.

Stepping in from the pavement you’re immediately met with a hallway that sets the tone for what’s to come. The styling is confident and deliberate, with bold patterned wallpaper running the length of the space and continuing up the staircase. A tall vertical radiator adds a modern edge, while the wood effect flooring grounds it all and keeps the look cohesive.

The living room sits just off the hall and shows its own personality. One wall has been finished with grey and black acoustic wood panelling, drawing your eye straight to the fireplace within, where a wood burning stove is set into a dark surround. It’s a great contrast against the softer, wispy grey wallpaper on the remaining walls. Light grey carpet runs underfoot while a large radiator mounted to an internal wall helps to keep the space warm year round.

The kitchen leads off the back of the living room and continues the same confident design approach. Deep blue cabinets run along the walls and in the central island, paired with solid wooden worktops that bring warmth into the space. A built-in double Neff oven sits neatly within a tall unit, while the gas hob sits alongside. The island creates a natural place to gather, whether that’s for a quick breakfast or something more social. Around the room, you’ll notice a mix of decoration finishes, from long grey tiled splashbacks to sections of wallpaper and acoustic panelling.

From here, the space opens into the conservatory, a room that feels completely different again. Glazed on three sides and above, it pulls in light throughout the day, with French doors opening straight out to the garden. The inner wall has been finished in a bold pink tone, softened by grey detailing below, giving the space a relaxed, slightly playful feel. There’s plenty of room here for both seating and dining, making it a genuinely usable extension of the house.
Back through the hallway you’ll find the ground floor bedroom. This is a generous double where the bold styling continues with a strong floral wallpaper in light blue tones. It’s a comfortable space with room for additional furniture, and being on the ground floor, it adds flexibility depending on how you want to use the house.

The shower room is also located on the ground floor. This has been finished to a high standard, with grey glitter-effect wetwall panels giving it a clean, modern look. A large corner shower sits to one side, while the sink and toilet are built into a compact unit with storage below. There’s additional cabinets too, so everything has its place without cluttering the room.
Upstairs, the same patterned wallpaper from the hallway continues, tying the levels together. The landing leads to three further bedrooms and a separate toilet.

One of the larger bedrooms sits to the front, with sloping ceilings on both sides and a dormer window bringing in natural light. The décor here leans into softer tones, with grey leafy patterned wallpaper and grey carpet creating a calm space.
Another double bedroom follows a similar layout, again with sloping ceilings and a dormer window, but this time with a mix of light blue painted walls and a feature wall in a wavy patterned design. It’s a good sized room that feels bright and comfortable.
The fourth bedroom is a smaller single, but still a useful space. It has a wide dormer window to the rear and a more playful patterned finish on the walls, making it ideal as a child’s room, guest room or even a home office.
The upstairs toilet has been styled just as carefully as the rest of the house, with patterned wallpaper, a built-in vanity unit with storage and a rooflight bringing in natural light.
Outside, the garden is a real asset. It rises in tiers behind the house, starting with stone chipped areas and sections of artificial grass, including a covered gazebo space for sitting out. Steps lead you further up through planting areas and onto a stretch of lawn, before reaching the summerhouse at the top. From here, you get an elevated outlook back over the house and across the surrounding area. There are several outbuildings including a workshop, utility space and additional storage.

This is a home that doesn’t play it safe, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out. The layout gives you flexibility, the space is generous, and the design has been thought through in a way that gives each room its own identity while still feeling connected. It’s a property that offers something different, with plenty of space inside and out to make it your own.
