Boath Road, Auldearn, IV12 5TB

The traditional stone frontage and steep slate roof give this end terrace property an immediate sense of character, reflecting the age and history of this part of Auldearn. Built around 1900, it has a straightforward two storey layout that’s still suited to modern day living.
Inside, the layout begins with a short entrance hallway that has a staircase rising directly ahead of you to the first floor. Off to the left is the living room, a comfortable front facing space with soft neutral cream painted walls and a grey fitted carpet adding warmth underfoot.

The room centres around a traditional fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove. This is framed by a substantial oak mantel which gives the space a strong focal point and adds character against the lighter decor. A deep set front window draws natural light into the room, while the overall proportions comfortably allow space for seating and furniture.

Off the rear of the living room is the kitchen, fitted in a clean modern style with grey base and wall units. These are paired with marble effect worktops with matching splashback panels behind.

The layout makes good use of the available space, with fitted units running the length of the exterior wall and integrated cooking appliances in place. There’s also space and plumbing for other appliances beneath the worktops. Natural light comes through a rear facing window above the sink, while a glazed rear door provides direct access out to the garden. Wood effect vinyl flooring completes the space and adds warmth against the lighter finishes.

The shower room is accessed from the hallway and is finished in warm neutral tones with vinyl wood effect herringbone flooring running throughout. A curved glazed shower enclosure sits neatly into one corner with marble effect wall panelling adding texture. There’s also a pedestal sink, toilet and chrome heated towel radiator, while a wall mounted mirrored cabinet provides additional bathroom storage.

When you climb the spiralling staircase to the first floor, it opens onto a small landing giving access to two bedrooms. The larger one is a comfortable double with walls painted a clean neutral cream colour. The floor is covered with a freshly fitted grey carpet. A wide dormer style window projects
out from the roofline and brings natural light deep into the room, while the sloping ceilings add character.

The second bedroom is a single room that would work equally well as a nursery, child’s bedroom, guest space or home office depending on requirements. A large rooflight window is built into the sloping ceiling, helping brighten the room while adding to the traditional feel of the upper floor. Matching neutral decor and soft grey carpet keep the overall finish fresh, simple and easy to make your own.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to grass and rises gently upwards away from the house. A tall stone wall runs along one side, adding character and privacy, while new timber fencing defines the opposite side. At the far end of the garden sits a timber shed providing useful outdoor storage for tools, bikes or garden equipment.

The combination of the original stone exterior, wood burning stove and sloping upper floor ceilings gives it genuine character, while the fresh modern interior finishes mean there’s very little needing to do before moving in. This would suit first time buyers, downsizers or anyone looking for a home with personality. Contact Hamish Homes today to secure your private viewing today.
