4 bed detached house for sale

Ardross, Alness IV17

Cnoc Navie sits in the heart of Ardross, a small rural community surrounded by woodland and rolling fields, just five miles from the town of Alness. Built in the mid ‘90s and set in around an acre of private grounds, this is a modern planned home that enjoys a quiet countryside setting. With a generous internal layout of approximately 192 square metres, the property includes an integral double garage, a mix of oil and solid fuel central heating and garden areas to the front, side and rear. It’s a peaceful base with open skies overhead and miles of Highland landscape all around.

A gravelled driveway curves up to the house, where a sheltered front door opens into a wide entrance hallway. This bright, carpeted space benefits from a storage cupboard to one side while a radiator provides warmth and a sense of welcome.

The home enjoys a spacious living room, where at the heart a traditional tiled fireplace with timber surround houses a cast iron Morso stove. The room is finished in soft grey tones with a warm timber dado rail around the centre, with matching natural wood skirtings and trims. A large picture window draws in natural light, while a set of glazed sliding doors to the side allows for easy access to the garden. A fitted carpet adds warmth underfoot, and there’s plenty of space to arrange the room to suit everyday living to relax with family and friends.

The first of the three ground floor bedrooms is a generous double, decorated in soft creams with a feature wall finished with soft blue patterns, adding a touch of traditional charm without overpowering the space. The room is carpeted in warm beige and enjoys plenty of natural light through a large window. There’s a built-in double wardrobe with wood panelled doors and the room comfortably accommodates freestanding furniture alongside the main bed, creating a balanced and inviting space.

The second bedroom is another double, simply decorated in white to maximise the natural light from the window. The room features soft purple carpeting and provides excellent built-in storage with two generous double wardrobes, each with matching wooden panel doors. There’s room for additional furnishings and the current layout shows how comfortably the space can accommodate a bed, bedside tables, a dressing table and even an armchair without ever feeling cramped.

The third bedroom is decorated in soft neutral tones with a subtle warmth to the paintwork. A window lets in natural light and the room is finished with a light brown carpet, adding a cosy touch underfoot. There’s a built-in double wardrobe with timber panelled doors for extra storage and the room still allows space for freestanding furniture making it a versatile option for guests, children or home working.

The ground floor bathroom is stylishly designed. The bath is set into a dark surround, giving it a clean, contemporary look. Alongside, a separate shower enclosure with sliding doors and a mixer fitting is a welcome extra, offering flexibility for busy mornings. A sleek fitted vanity unit with an integrated sink and chrome fittings is set beneath a mirrored wall cabinet that adds convenience. The walls are finished with bold black panelling to mid-height, topped with a patterned floral wallpaper, creating a striking contrast that feels both fresh and distinctive. A large frosted window draws in natural light, while the crisp white tiled floor keeps the room feeling bright and open.

Along the hallway, the dining room is a great space for family meals or more formal occasions. The room is painted in a warm neutral tone, with one wall in a rich red that adds a touch of depth and colour. There's plenty of space here for a full size dining table. As well as being accessible from the hallway, the room also connects directly to the kitchen via an internal door, allowing for easy movement between the two.

Next door, the kitchen feels instantly welcoming, with warm timber cabinets running along three sides and a wide window above the sink. It’s a space that’s easy to work in, with plenty of room to move around and good surface area for preparing meals. A black gas fired Rangemaster sits beneath a matching splashback and tiled surround, while the oil fired Rayburn at the far end adds a traditional touch as well as a secondary heat source. The flooring pairs well with the worktops and splashbacks. This kitchen is perfect for both quiet mornings and busy family life.

Just off the kitchen a utility room provides a useful secondary space for laundry and day to day tasks, with extra worktop space, storage and plumbing for both a washing machine and tumble dryer. A side window brings in good natural light, and there’s direct access to the garden from here too.

Beyond this, there’s a shower room with a tiled enclosure, pedestal sink and toilet an ideal addition for busy mornings, visiting guests or rinsing off after time outdoors.

From the utility, a carpeted staircase with natural timber balustrades rises to the first floor. At the top, a bright and open landing connects two additional rooms and includes a handy hatch for further storage. One side leads into a generous sitting room, where attic style sloped ceilings and a Velux window creates a characterful yet inviting space. The room is carpeted in grey and feels expansive, offering plenty of flexibility for larger furniture layouts. A feature wallpapered gable wall adds a touch of texture and style. Fitted with a radiator and sockets, it’s ideal as a TV lounge or family snug.

Additonally, a compact yet practical study provides a focused working environment, away from the busier areas of the home. With a simple, uncluttered layout and sloped ceiling, it's perfectly suited for remote work, homework or household admin. It’s a valuable addition to this already versatile property.

The property sits within generous grounds extending to about an acre, with established gardens wrapping around the home. There’s a mix of open lawn and mature plants, including trees and shrubs that add structure and privacy. Gravel paths meander around the house and lead to various tucked away seating areas, ideal for enjoying the peace of the setting. A paved patio offers space for outdoor dining, with shelter from surrounding hedging and foliage. The plot is bordered by woodland and framed by countryside views beyond, creating a wonderfully secluded feel. For added convenience there’s an integral double garage with an electronically operated door, offering secure parking and excellent storage, with a sizeable floor area of 57 square metres.
