Balvenie Street, Dufftown, AB55 4AS

Dating back around 126 years, this traditional stone cottage is one of those homes that reveals far more than you expect. Behind the attractive stone façade, the rear of the property reveals a detached garage and generous gardens that come as a genuine surprise. It’s an appealing choice for first time buyers, couples, small families or anyone looking for a home full of personality in the heart of Dufftown.

Stepping straight in from the pavement, the entrance vestibule provides a practical transition before heading into the main living space. The lounge feels welcoming and comfortable, with a large front facing window allowing light to spread across the room. Grey walls, white skirtings and black carpet create a contemporary finish, while a modern wall mounted electric fire provides the focal point on one wall. An attractive arched opening draws you naturally through to the dining area, separating the two spaces without closing them off. The dining area comfortably accommodates a family dining table and has its own window looking out to the rear.

Beyond this, the kitchen has been tastefully modernised with a clean, contemporary finish. White cabinets are complemented by dark grey worktops, creating a striking contrast. The neutral grey painted walls and practical flooring complete a kitchen that's ready to use from day one. A half glazed uPVC door provides direct access outside.

Also on the ground floor is the shower room. A generous walk in shower enclosure fills up one side of the room, complemented by a pedestal basin and a toilet. A modern mosaic effect tiled feature wall contrasts nicely with the crisp white painted walls elsewhere.

On the first floor, the main bedroom is a comfortable double finished with cream walls, light wood effect flooring and a large rear facing window that fills the room with natural light. Its simple décor creates an easy canvas for personalisation, while the size means you can comfortably accommodate additional bedroom furniture.

The second bedroom is another generous double. White painted walls combine with a blue carpet, while the dormer window adds character. Built-in shelving provides useful display space, while the shape of the room offers flexibility for different furniture layouts.

Completing the accommodation is the box room. Although not big enough for a bedroom, it can be easily adapted for use as a home office, dressing room, nursery or hobby space.

A shared access driveway runs alongside the property, leading to the rear where the detached timber garage gives you valuable storage or workshop potential. Beyond this, the gardens are arranged across several distinct areas, with lawns and gravelled sections creating a variety of usable spaces. Traditional stone walls add further character, while mature trees provide an attractive backdrop and a welcome sense of privacy.

This home offers something pretty unique: genuine character with modern styling. Its location, within easy walking distance of the shops, cafes and everyday amenities, makes it an ideal property for many people.
