Davis Drive, Alness, IV17 0ZD

Behind its attractive frontage sits a home that has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully decorated. Bright, comfortable rooms, excellent built-in storage, a stylish modern bathroom and a generous garden combine to create a property that is ready to be enjoyed from day one.

Occupying a generous corner plot within an attractive residential development, this detached family home immediately stands out. The combination of crisp white exterior walls, dark timber detailing and the surrounding greenery gives the property real kerb appeal before you even step inside.

You enter the home into a welcoming porch, the perfect spot to store outdoor coats, shoes and bags. Moving into the hallway you find that the timber finishes and neutral decor immediately create a warm first impression. The timber staircase rises to the first floor while the ground floor accommodation flows naturally, creating a practical and comfortable layout for everyday living.

The living dining space flows together nicely. In the living area, quality timber flooring runs underfoot with matching warm timber skirtings and window frames. One wall is decorated with patterned wallpaper featuring sweeping leaf and scroll designs while the remaining walls are painted a light grey. There’s plenty of space for sofa seating and furniture. At the rear of the room is a dining section with space for a family table and chairs. Double glazed French doors from here open to the garden, with a large radiator fitted to keep the space warm.

The kitchen has been fitted with cream shaker style units complemented by dark worktops and light grey tiled splashbacks. There#s a built in electric oven and hob set above it with extractor hood concealed overhead. A large window draws natural light into the room and there is space for a small table and chairs, making it a practical hub for everyday living.

A door from the kitchen leads into the utility room, which keeps the working side of the home neatly separate. Matching cream cabinets sit below a dark worktop, with an additional stainless steel sink and tiled splashback above. There is space beneath the counter for laundry appliances, while an external timber door gives direct access outside.

On the ground floor is a convenient WC, with light walls, a white toilet and a pedestal wash basin. It’s a practical addition great for guests or day to day family use.

The first of the four bedrooms is a valuable part of the ground floor layout because it gives the home options that many houses don’t have. The room has three neutral walls with a blue and gold floral feature wallpaper on the other. One wall includes a built in wardrobe with timber sliding doors while a radiator beneath the window makes the room warm and cosy. The en-suite shower room has a textured finish, with wood effect wall panels inside the shower enclosure. The white wash basin sits on a dark storage unit, with a toilet positioned beside it and a small frosted window above. This is a bedroom for someone who wants to avoid stairs, a guest room, or a more private space within the home.

The staircase leads to the first floor landing, where the sloping ceiling lines and Velux style rooflight windows add character. Bedroom one sits beneath coombed ceiling lines, giving the room shape and character. White walls, carpeted flooring and timber detailing create a calm finish, while a built-in wardrobe provides practical storage. The dormer window section adds additional practical space with a radiator fitted beneath.

Bedroom two is another good size double, with twin timber framed windows and a radiator below. The sloped ceiling creates defined wall sections on either side, while the light wall coverings and grey carpet keep the room simple and easy to furnish. Built-in sliding wardrobes add storage without taking up extra floor space.

The fourth bedroom also has pale walls, cosy carpet and twin timber-framed windows with a radiator positioned below. The ceiling slopes on both sides, giving the room a cosy feel, while the layout still leaves plenty of space for a bed and furniture.

The family bathroom contains a bath which sits along one side, with white tiling around it, while the separate shower cubicle is finished with dark textured wall panels and chrome fittings. A white wash basin sits on a small storage unit, with the toilet positioned beside it. The room also includes timber skirting, white painted walls and a dark grey vinyl floor finish.

The home was only built around 17 years ago and is heated by an oil-fired boiler located in the garage which supplies the domestic hot water too. The windows are original timber double glazed units, with a combination of casement and Velux styles and the external doors are also of timber and glazed construction.

Outside, the garden space wraps around the front, side and rear of the property, with lawns giving the home a strong sense of space on every side. To the front, the lawn sits beside the driveway and garage, while the rear garden is enclosed by timber fencing and includes paved paths, gravel borders and mature trees. The garage adds useful parking and storage alongside the driveway.

What makes this home work so well is the way it gives buyers choices. The ground floor en-suite bedroom makes the layout adaptable, while the connected living dining space, separate utility room, garage and wraparound gardens all add to its appeal.
