Riana, Shore Street, Lossiemouth, Moray, IV31

Riana is an extended traditional cottage located in a magnificent position on Shore Street with far reaching and uninterrupted views across the Moray firth and out towards the far hills of Sutherland. The original cottage is constructed of stone under a slate roof whist a substantial extension constructed from rendered insulated Durisol blockwork was added in 2016. The cottage now provides extensive (gross internal area of about 174m2), flexible and very well appointed accommodation over a single storey. This includes a porch which opens into the magnificent open plan kitchen / dining / living room. Split over two levels, this impressive room measures some 12m x 6m and has high quality fittings, an array of integral appliances including a Grohe boiling water tap and French doors to the garden. A cosy lounge is located to the front of the house has a wood burning stove, whilst there is also a music room with walk in storage cupboards, a store room, utility room, WC, shower room and three bedrooms (master ‘en suite’). In addition, there is a useful garage / store.

The cottage has a fantastically bright and airy feel with large triple glazed windows flooding the interior with natural light as well as opening up the spectacular views. Marrying beautifully the contemporary and the traditional, the cottage has remote roller blinds amongst many other fine features. There is a floored loft with potential to extend the accommodation (subject to planning etc.) whilst the cottage is tastefully decorated throughout and appears to be in good condition. It is well insulated, triple glazed and heated using gas central heating in the original part of the house and an air source heat pump in the more recently built extension with under floor heating in the kitchen / living area. A 4kW solar array on the roof helps keep energy bills down and generates a small annual income.

Garden
Outside, there is a generous sized garden which is enclosed by a wooden fence, low enough to enjoy the views. The garden includes areas of lawn, a paved seating area which is a real sun trap in the summer months and various beds and borders.
