3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Feddon Hill, Fortrose IV10

From its elevated position on Feddon Hill, this detached bungalow enjoys sweeping views across open countryside to the Moray Firth and beyond, the kind of outlook that makes this part of Fortrose so sought after. Sitting in one of the hill’s quieter cul-de-sacs, the home keeps you close to the village’s shops, cafés and coastal walks, yet feels tucked away. With three bedrooms, private parking and a detached garage, it’s a lovely family home with an impressive backdrop.

Inside, the living room has a bright, open feel thanks to two separate windows on adjacent walls. The décor is finished in a consistent light neutral shade, with one wall painted in a slightly deeper tone that adds subtle contrast without dominating the room. The flooring is laid in a light wood effect style. The room’s size allows for a large sofa suite and additional furniture with space for a small dining table and chairs to make it a useful family room.

The kitchen has cream cabinets with warm wood framing and matching wooden knobs, giving the room a neat, traditional feel. Under-cabinet lighting brightens the worktops which are a light coloured laminate, while the walls above them are tiled, including a decorative panel behind the hob. The hob is a black ceramic model and there’s a pair of built-in white ovens sat within a tall housing unit. Below the counter are spaces currently used for appliances such as a dishwasher and washing machine. A tall fridge freezer stands at the far end of the units. The flooring is a wood effect style that ties in with the cabinet trim.

The first of the three bedrooms has a soft, warm look, with the walls painted in a gentle buttery yellow that gives the room a relaxed feel. A wide window sits on one wall with white panel radiator, neatly positioned below. Along another wall, a built-in mirror fronted wardrobe adds valuable storage while helping the room feel more open. It’s a good size space which would easily accommodate a double bed and additional furniture.

Bedroom 2 brings in a rich, earthy feel thanks to its deep olive green walls, a colour that gives the room a warm, grounded character. The window sits to one side with a timber-framed sill and below it is a panel radiator set neatly against the wall. It’s a flexible room that works well as a child’s bedroom but could be adapted just as easily for guests, hobbies or working from home.

Bedroom 3 has a clean, modern feel, with neutral painted walls and a timber framed window that keeps the room bright. The wood effect flooring adds warmth. It’s a comfortable single bedroom or a quiet study or a practical hobby room.

The bathroom is fully tiled in a soft cream pattern that keeps the whole room looking consistent, with a decorative border running around the middle. A luxury corner bath sits to one side with chrome taps and a matching shower attachment above, paired with a curved glass screen. The wall hung basin has a simple, rounded shape and sits beneath a small timber framed frosted window that brings in daylight while still offering privacy.

The home uses a mix of the original timber double glazed windows and more recent PVC replacements, with a PVC double glazed side entrance door. Timber is carried through the roofline too, with fascia boards, eaves and soffits all in the same material. Heating comes from an external Worcester oil boiler, feeding radiators throughout the bungalow.

Stepping outside, the plot opens out around the bungalow with garden space on three sides. Most of it is laid to grass, mixed with mature shrubs, small trees and flowers that blend into the woodland beyond. A paved and gravel driveway runs along the side of the house and gives easy access to the detached single garage, which has a roughcast exterior, a flat felt roof and a metal up-and-over door, with a glazed timber door on the side for everyday entry. An EV charge point is mounted on the wall beside the driveway for convenient home charging. At the rear, a greenhouse is attached directly to the back of the garage while the garden is enclosed by timber fencing and hedging.

This bungalow has a welcoming feel, helped by its outlook and the way the rooms flow so simply from one to the next. The gardens, garage and driveway make everyday life straightforward and the setting on Feddon Hill gives you the benefit of space while still being close to the heart of Fortrose. It’s a home that’s ready to enjoy as it is, with plenty of scope to shape it to your own plans over time. Early viewing is encouraged so contact Hamish Homes now to book your own private appointment.
