Rhu, Fearn, IV20 1TN

Set within open countryside, Rhu Fearn enjoys a peaceful rural position surrounded by rolling farmland and far reaching views in every direction. The approach immediately gives a sense of space, with the house sitting in generous grounds bordered by open fields and mature trees.

The changing colours of the surrounding landscape create a striking backdrop throughout the year, from bright yellow rapeseed fields in spring to deep green pasture stretching across the countryside beyond. Despite the tranquil setting, Tain is only around six miles away, providing easy access to supermarkets, schools, shops, healthcare facilities and transport links.

The house itself is an impressive detached one and a half storey home with a striking modern exterior. A long gravel driveway sweeps up towards the house, providing extensive parking space alongside broad lawned gardens which further enhance the sense of openness around the property. Built around fifteen years ago, the home combines modern construction with a layout designed for flexible family living, including multiple reception areas, three bedrooms, several bathrooms and generous living space spread across both floors.

The entrance hallway is bright and spacious with a clean modern finish in the timber doors, matching surrounds and wood flooring. The layout keeps the ground floor easy to move through, with the kitchen and dining area visible directly ahead. Positioned across the back of the house, the kitchen and dining area is a large open social space that is perfect for family life and entertaining.

The kitchen itself is fitted with sleek white cabinets paired with rich wood worktops and matching splashbacks. Integrated double ovens have been built into the tall units, while extensive storage and long stretches of worktop space make the room highly functional and visually striking.

A large window above the sink draws in natural light and looks out across the surrounding countryside. The dining area easily accommodates a large table alongside additional seating, while glazed doors open directly outside. One wall has been finished with a bold textured feature design which adds character to the space. Bright ceiling spotlights, timber flooring and the generous open proportions combine to create a comfortable, modern living space.

Just off the kitchen is the utility room. This continues the same clean modern finish with matching white cabinets, wood effect worktops and timber window surrounds. There is space for laundry appliances while further fitted storage helps keep everyday household items neatly tucked away. A stainless steel sink sits beneath the window and a half glazed external door provides direct access outside.

The lounge is a generous main living space with a calm neutral finish that allows the surrounding countryside views and feature stove to take centre stage. A modern cylindrical wood burning stove sits on a circular glass hearth creating a striking feature that will keep the room warm year round. Glazed doors with matching side panels draw natural light deep into the space while also providing direct access outside. Timber flooring runs throughout with ceiling spotlights tying the whole space together naturally.

The first of the three bedrooms is on the ground floor, adding excellent flexibility. The room itself is generously sized with soft neutral décor and enough floor space for additional furnishings alongside a large bed. There is also space for seating within the room, helping it feel calm and relaxed.

The en-suite shower room has been finished in a contemporary style with a large glazed shower enclosure, modern vanity unit with integrated sink and concealed cistern toilet. Mosaic tiling behind the basin adds contrast against the lighter walls, while the chrome heated towel rail and frosted window completes the space nicely.

Completing the ground floor accommodation is a conveniently placed WC fitted with a modern toilet and compact basin with storage below. The space has been given plenty of personality through the striking marine themed feature wall which adds colour and character against the softer neutral surroundings.

On the first floor is an additional sitting room centred around an enormous feature window that frames uninterrupted views, making the landscape part of the interior. A dark coloured carpet adds warmth while a striking world map feature wall adds personality. The other walls and angled ceilings are painted white to keep the space neutral. This is the perfect room for relaxing, family gatherings or movie nights.

The main bathroom sits on this floor and combines modern fittings with distinctive styling. A jacuzzi bath is positioned beneath the sloping ceiling, surrounded by bold geometric wall panelling that gives this side of the room a contemporary edge.

The opposite wall introduces a softer feel through flowery patterned wallpaper. The contrast between the two finishes works particularly well, with the space between painted a light grey. A skylight above brings natural light into the centre of the room during the day, while the vanity unit and chrome towel radiator ensure the bathroom has everything you could need.

The first of the two bedrooms on this floor has a spacious layout enhanced by angled ceilings and dormer-style windows that bring natural light in from two directions. A soft pink feature wall addwarmth and character, balanced by crisp neutral walls and ceilings that keep the room feeling bright and airy.

The size comfortably accommodates a large bed with space for additional furniture. This room also has an en-suite which is centred around a bold orange feature wall which creates a strong contrast against the otherwise clean white finishes. A modern floating vanity with bold black sink sits beneath a circular mirror, while chrome fittings and a heated towel radiator add to the sleek finish. The enclosed shower is neatly positioned to one side, making excellent use of the shape of the room beneath the sloping ceiling.

The third bedroom is slightly smaller but is still a comfortable double. Neutral cream walls and ceilings keep the room feeling bright, while the combination of a side window and large rooflight floods the room with light during the day. One wall features a large mirror fronted built-in wardrobe which provides substantial storage. Alongside this is a radiator which means the room will always be cosy warm.

Outside the rear garden has been carefully landscaped to create a series of distinct areas while still retaining a large expanse of lawn and open outlooks across the surrounding countryside. Towards the rear fence, a substantial paved terrace provides space for seating and outdoor dining, with a sheltered hot tub area adding another strong lifestyle feature. Timber screening and mature plants help define the are without closing off the wider views across the fields beyond.

The main garden is laid to lawn with young ornamental trees planted throughout. Black timber fencing and raised borders give the space a smart, contemporary finish, while gravel pathways connect the various sections of the garden and outbuildings. Located to the side of the plot is a substantial timber workshop finished in dark stained timber beneath a pitched roof. The building is fitted with a wood burning stove, making it suitable for year-round use, whether as a workshop, hobby space or garden retreat. A terrace of timber stores and kennels is positioned alongside, together with a separate timber log store providing practical external storage.

This is a home that immediately feels special the moment you arrive. The open countryside setting gives a real sense of peace and privacy, while the house itself delivers the space and flexibility needed for modern family life. Large feature windows make the surrounding landscape part of the home, the gardens have been thoughtfully designed and the timber workshop adds another layer of practicality.
