Aultvaich, Beauly, IV4 7AN

From the road, this property has all the charm of a traditional Highland cottage with outbuildings and gardens that stretch out into the surrounding countryside. Whether you're searching for somewhere to escape the pace of town life, a home with space to grow into or simply somewhere with character, Lower Aultvaich delivers all three.

You enter the house into a glazed front porch, which makes the most of the surrounding views. From here you enter the hallway, where grey and white tartan wallpaper immediately introduces a touch of Highland character. Soft grey carpet runs beneath your feet, while a radiator keeps this central space comfortably warm throughout the colder months.

The living room sits at the front of the house, with white painted walls finished with a decorative picture rail that runs around the room. Taking centre stage is the impressive stone fireplace, home to a log burning stove that will be a delight for you during winter. Two decorative wall mounted lights frame the fireplace, while a tv stand is built neatly into one corner of the room. A window to the front brings in natural light, with a radiator positioned beneath.

A door at the rear of the living room leads through into the kitchen. Traditional timber cabinets wraps around the room, giving you plenty of cupboard and worktop space. The stainless steel sink sits beneath the window, while tiled splashbacks help protect the walls around the preparation areas. One wall has been transformed by a striking Highland cow mural, giving the room a real splash of personality.

Just off the kitchen is the utility room, which has a more modern feel thanks to the white cabinets, chrome handles and grey worktops. An additional stainless steel sink and dedicated laundry space means you can keep household tasks separate from the main kitchen. The clean white walls keep the room feeling bright and there’s the oil fired condensing boiler located here, supplying both the central heating system and domestic hot water.

Returning to the hallway, the ground floor bedroom mirrors the layout of the living room, giving you a genuinely spacious double room. White walls and grey carpet create a fresh, neutral finish. There’s a substantial timber fireplace which, although currently closed off, offers an attractive focal point and presents interesting possibilities if desired. With plenty of room for larger bedroom furniture, this is an ideal main bedroom or an excellent option for anyone needing a ground floor option.

The final room on the ground floor is the shower room, a large space that’s fully tiled from floor to ceiling. The shower enclosure sits on a raised platform and is fitted with an electric shower, while the white toilet, pedestal basin and matching ladder style towel radiator combine for a coordinated finish. The room already provides an excellent foundation for anyone wishing to refresh it with their own styling in the future.

The staircase rises from the hallway, where the grey carpet and tartan patterned wallpaper continue to the landing. The first bedroom upstairs is a generous double, with soft grey carpet underfoot and crisp white walls that provide a clean, blank canvas. The sloping ceiling adds personality while a front facing dormer window draws in plenty of natural light.

Across the landing, the second bedroom is equally impressive in size, making this far more than a typical third bedroom. Once again, the dormer window and sloping ceilings create a cosy feel while a built-in cupboard, with its traditional painted timber door, provides useful storage.

Stepping outside, it quickly becomes clear that the gardens are every bit as appealing as the house itself. To the rear, generous lawns wrap around the property, bordered by mature shrubs and trees that help create a wonderful sense of privacy. The detached concrete garage gives you secure parking options while alongside this is a traditional stone outbuilding with a corrugated iron roof, adding another practical storage area for the home.
Across the quiet road lies an additional area of garden to the front, belonging to the property. Enclosed by fencing and dotted with mature trees, it’s another versatile outdoor space that has a rotary clothes dryer already in place.

Given everything this home has to offer, it’s sure to generate plenty of interest. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your own private viewing today.
