3 bed detached house for sale

Glaichbea, Beauly IV4

Set within over an acre of private grounds, Karelia at Glaichbea offers rural seclusion and versatile accommodation. With three double bedrooms, generous reception spaces, multiple outbuildings and a host of character filled touches, this is a property that can adapt to family life, hobbies or even working from home, all in a peaceful Highland setting.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall is bright and welcoming with wooden flooring underfoot and the staircase rising to the side. It sets the tone for the mix of clean, neutral décor and natural finishes that continue throughout the home.

The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, defined by a brick built fireplace with a wood-burning stove at its heart. Wooden flooring and a timber-clad ceiling enhance the sense of rustic Highland charm, while three large windows fill the room with natural light. The room flows directly into the dining room, where there is ample space for a full dining table and chairs. With double doors opening straight to the garden, this is an ideal setting for family meals or entertaining.

The kitchen area is generous in size, with space for either a small table or a casual seating corner. Fitted with wooden cabinets, it provides plenty of storage and preparation space, while the stainless-steel sink beneath a window and the freestanding cooker with extractor above are practical features. Neutral walls and a timber ceiling tie the space together.

The utility room enjoys additional cabinets and work surfaces that keep household essentials neatly organised. There’s space beneath the counter for laundry appliances, making it a practical and efficient workspace.

Also on the ground floor is a compact study with a large window, making it ideal as a home office, craft space or hobby room.

A family bathroom completes the level, with a traditional suite of bath, sink and toilet. Tiled to mid-height with timber storage cabinets, it is practical but also offers scope for modernisation if desired.

The open-tread staircase, finished with a tartan patterned green and blue carpet, leads to the attic floor landing. Here, a small nook creates a natural reading or relaxation space, with room for a chair and coffee table beside a window.

The first of the attic bedrooms is a comfortable double with the sloping ceilings that give this floor its character. Timber panelling lines the ceiling, while white painted walls keep the space fresh. A built-in wardrobe with wooden louvre doors provides generous storage and helps maintain a clean, uncluttered feel.

A second double bedroom continues the theme, with the same sloping timber-panelled ceiling and neutral decor. It’s a versatile space, equally suited as a restful bedroom or adapted for hobbies or home working. The window draws in light and offers a pleasant outlook across the grounds.

The third double room on this level also carries the same character, with its combination of timber panelling overhead and simple white walls. With good floor space and flexibility, it is ready to be styled to personal taste, whether as a guest room, a child’s bedroom or another family space.

Serving this level is a practical shower room, finished with clean white tiles. It includes a toilet, a sink set into a vanity unit with storage below and a shower cubicle fitted with a mains shower. In addition, a redundant sauna remains in place, offering an unusual feature with clear potential to be reinstated or converted into another contemporary addition to the home.

Beyond the main house, Karelia truly excels. The detached garage, complete with car port and adjoining workshop, provides exceptional space for vehicles, hobbies or projects. Additional outbuildings, including timber sheds and wood stores, ensure there is no shortage of storage.

The grounds extend to approximately 1.34 acres, blending expansive lawns with mature trees, shrubs and woodland areas. A derelict croft building adds historic charm to the site, while post and wire fencing defines the boundaries. With so much outdoor space, the property is well suited to those who enjoy gardening, outdoor activities or simply the freedom of a large rural plot.

Karelia is more than a home, it’s a lifestyle property offering space, privacy and flexibility in the heart of the Highlands. With multiple outbuildings, over an acre of grounds and bright, adaptable interiors, it represents a rare opportunity for families, hobbyists or anyone seeking room to grow.
