5 bed detached house for sale

Carr Road, Carrbridge PH23

Nestled on the ever-popular Carr Road in the charming Highland village of Carrbridge, Caralan is an outstanding five-bedroom detached stone-and-slate villa, thoughtfully extended and architecturally designed to combine traditional character with contemporary living at its finest.

Originally built in 1896 then extended in 2008 the property has been significantly upgraded with a substantial, energy-efficient extension that flows seamlessly from the original villa, creating a warm and modern open-plan living space.

The stunning kitchen/dining/lounge area is the true heart of the home – the German designed kitchen boasts a large central island, quartz worktops, integrated “neff” appliances which include a fan-assisted oven, separate steam oven and combination microwave oven, two warming drawers, coffee machine, induction hob, dishwasher, Quooker hot tap and two fridge freezers, a walk-in larder, and floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors that lead out to a sun terrace. A rotatable wood-burning stove in the main lounge adds both ambience and flexibility, while a second sitting room with open fire provides a more comfortable retreat.
