Whakamahorahora, 169 Dalnabay, Silverglades, Aviemore

Set within a quiet cul-de-sac close to woodland walks, Whakamahorahora —meaning “to make someone feel at home”—is a very well-presented one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offering a comfortable and affordable home in a peaceful location. The property is in excellent decorative order and features a modern kitchen and bathroom, a bright double bedroom, and a generous south-facing sitting room with dining area that enjoys open views towards the Cairngorms. Additional benefits include full UPVC double glazing, thermostatically controlled electric heating, and very spacious garden grounds, as well as a private driveway with parking for two to three vehicles. The property benefits from photovoltaic solar panels with a hybrid inverter and battery system, generating electricity and storing excess energy for later use. This setup helps reduce both energy import and export, improving efficiency and lowering running costs. This is a rare opportunity to secure an easy-to-maintain home with excellent outdoor space, all within easy reach of Aviemore’s amenities and attractions. Dalfaber is a popular residential area located at the north end of Aviemore, around 1.5 miles from the village centre.
