The Cairns, Muir Of Ord, IV6 7AT

Positioned on the south western edge of Muir of Ord and tucked into a private corner position within The Cairns, this detached bungalow was the very first plot to be sold when the development was released. The home, although positioned in a quiet spot, is still within easy reach of local amenities. Beauly, Dingwall and Inverness are also all easily accessible for a wider range of services and commuting. Built around 16 years ago by Scotia Homes, the property is a practical bungalow with about 92 m² internal space, including a double attached garage.
The front of the home is neatly laid out with a large driveway to one side, providing off street parking for a couple of cars and lead directly to the double garage. A paved path branches off towards the front door. The garden to the front is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by planted sections with shrubs and bushes that add colour and definition. The plot continues around to the side with additional lawn space, giving the frontage a more open feel and a sense of space around the home.

Inside, the hallway runs cleanly through the home, with soft neutral coloured walls, a light carpet underfoot and white panelled doors lining either side, all finished with simple chrome detailing.
Through the double doors, the living room opens into a large, bright space. A decorative white fire surround immediately draws the eye, framing an electric fire inset. A wide front facing window brings in strong natural light, which moves across the light grey carpet and soft neutral walls. There is room here for a full sofa set up with additional furniture without it feeling crowded.

The open plan kitchen dining room sits to the rear of the home and is arranged with the dining area first. There’s room here for a full table and chairs without it feeling restricted. French doors sit to one side, bringing in strong natural light and opening directly out to the garden, making access to the garden simple, perfect for outdoor dining in warmer months. The kitchen itself sits just beyond, laid out in a U-shape with dark wood cabinets running along three sides. A built-in oven is set at eye level to one side, with a gas hob positioned along the main run of worktops. A stainless steel sink sits beneath the rear window with the dishwasher positioned alongside, keeping everything within easy reach.
A door from the dining area provides internal access into the double garage. The space is formed with block walls and offers room for multiple cars alongside extensive storage, with shelving and floor space already in place.

The main bedroom is a good size double room finished in soft neutral tones, with one wall painted a slightly darker grey to add a subtle contrast. A window looks out over the rear garden, bringing in natural light, while light grey carpet runs underfoot. Built-in wardrobes with mirrored sliding doors provide valuable storage along one wall. This room benefits from an en-suite which shifts in tone, using deep purple painted walls to give it a more defined feel. A large white corner shower cubicle is set into the space, with the toilet and sink positioned either side, keeping everything close at hand and easy to use without feeling cramped.
Bedroom two is a smaller single room, next door to the main bedroom, finished in soft green tones that keeps the space light and relaxed. The room is currently arranged as a home office, with a desk positioned beneath the window, but depending on needs, it could be a nursery, child’s room or guest space.

Bedroom three sits to the front of the home, positioned opposite the living room. This is a balanced double room with a calm, soft colour palette. Light blue walls and a neutral carpet keep the space feeling fresh, while a wide front facing window brings in strong natural light throughout the day. One wall features built-in wardrobes with mirror fronted sliding doors, which not only provide full storage but also reflects light back around the room.
The bathroom is finished with soft green painted walls, balanced by large white tiles around the bath and wet areas to keep things practical. A bath runs along one wall with a corner mounted tap, glass shower screen to the side and shower fitted above, giving both options without taking up extra space. Alongside, the sink and toilet sit beneath a large wall mirror with a tiled ledge providing useful surface space. The overall layout feels clean and functional, with everything positioned neatly and easy to use day to day.

The rear garden has been carefully arranged into a series of defined sections, giving it both structure and variety. A paved area sits directly behind the house, leading out to a raised decking space where a timber summer house creates a focal point, with room around it for seating and outdoor furniture. From there, the garden opens out into a mix of lawn and gravelled sections, shaped with flowing edges and connected by winding paths and stepping stones. Planted beds are set throughout, filled with a mix of shrubs, small trees and decorative feature. To the side, a larger gravelled area provides additional usable space, with a timber shed positioned neatly within it. The garden is enclosed with timber fencing for privacy.
