5 bed detached house for sale

The Cairns, Muir Of Ord IV6

Five bedrooms. A bold designer kitchen. A conservatory that adds extra living space. Private driveway. Integral Garage. This is the kind of home families wait for.

Sitting within a modern development in Muir of Ord, 42 The Cairns gives you room to grow, room to host and room for families to to love their best lives.

At the front, a neat lawn and mature hedge frame the house, while the loc-bloc driveway provides off-street parking and leads directly to the integral garage. It feels established and settled, with space around you to breathe.

When you step inside, wooden flooring runs through the hallway and across much of the ground floor, creating a clean, cohesive feel straight away.

The living room is just off the hall through a wide opening, which immediately gives you a sense of space. A bay window pulls in natural light, while a deep blue painted feature wall frames the media area beautifully. There’s proper space here for a full sofa suite and additional furniture.

Double doors lead through to the dining area. There’s more than enough room for a large table and chairs, making this the natural gathering point for family meals and celebrations. A rear window looks out to the garden, with a sleek dark grey radiator beneath adding a modern edge.

And then you see the kitchen.

Glossy deep purple cabinets make an immediate impression. Confident, striking and completely different from the ordinary, with crisp white worktops balancing the colour perfectly. The layout wraps around in a u-shape, with a section that creates breakfast bar seating and subtly separates the kitchen from the dining space. The gas hob sits proudly on this section with extractor above, keeping you part of the conversation while you cook. A built-in oven and microwave are integrated neatly within a tall run of cabinets. The dark grey composite sink sits beneath mosaic tiling that adds texture and detail to the space. It’s a kitchen with personality and one you won’t forget.

Glazed doors open from here into the conservatory. With glazing all around and a radiator installed, this becomes a genuine extra room for your family to enjoy year round. It’s easy to picture it as a second sitting area, play space or somewhere quieter to unwind while still feeling connected to the garden.

Also just off the kitchen, the utility room keeps the practical side of life tucked away. Additional cabinets, sink and space for laundry appliances mean everyday tasks stay out of the main living areas.

There’s a WC, located handily off the hallway. This compact space, with a toilet and sink, gives you that extra bit of convenience during the day or for guests, without anyone needing to head upstairs.

On the ground floor you’ll also find bedroom five, currently used as a study. This is a brilliant bonus room to have on the ground floor, making life easier for those who have trouble navigating stairs. Dark wood flooring gives it a smart, warm feel, with crisp white walls lifted by a small dark green painted section for contrast. A white radiator keeps it cosy, while the bay window to the front brings in plenty of natural light. Whether you keep it as a home office, use it as a guest room or turn it into an additional family space, it’s a room you’ll quickly wonder how you lived without.

The staircase rises to the centre of the first floor, opening out onto a bright landing with white painted walls and grey carpet underfoot. A large storage cupboard sits right at the top of the stairs, perfect for keeping linen, towels or the everyday things you don’t want cluttering bedrooms. From here, the layout splits naturally, with two bedrooms to one side and two further bedrooms and the family bathroom to the other, giving a sense of balance and separation.

The master bedroom is a generous double, with white painted walls and soft grey carpet keeping the space calm and neutral. There’s plenty of room for a full bedroom suite without it ever feeling tight. What really elevates this room is the walk-in wardrobe section with clothes rails running along two walls and shelving built in. This creates a proper dressing area rather than just a cupboard. The room also benefits from an en-suite, which is finished in a modern style. There’s a corner shower cubicle, toilet and sink, along with a large wall mounted mirror that enhances the sense of space. It’s a practical setup for busy mornings and a real bonus in a family home.

Bedroom two is another comfortable double, finished in the same clean white tones with grey carpet underfoot. A window to the rear brings in natural light, while the built-in wardrobe with white painted wooden doors keeps storage neatly contained.

Bedroom three is another good size double, again bright and neutral, with a window to the front and its own useful built-in storage cupboard. The proportions here allow for more than just a bed, there’s space for desks, dressers or additional furniture without crowding the room, making it ideal for growing teenagers who need that extra bit of room.

Bedroom four is slightly smaller but still a double. Currently set up as a child’s room, it has a friendly feel while retaining the same grey carpet and built-in wardrobe with white painted doors. It’s exactly the kind of flexible room families appreciate, nursery, home office, hobby room or guest bedroom, depending on the stage of life you’re in.

The family bathroom features a large white bath which sits beneath a fitted shower screen, with a rainfall shower above for a more luxurious feel than your standard setup. Beige mosaic tiling frames the bath and sink areas, softening the white painted walls, while the beige tiled flooring grounds the space. A frosted window brings in daylight without compromising privacy, and a white radiator keeps it warm at key times.

Outside the garden opens up in layers. Just beyond the conservatory there’s a decked area that feels made for summer evenings with space for a proper outdoor seating setup. The patio extends that entertaining area, giving you options whether it’s family barbecues, kids’ birthday parties or just a quiet drink at the end of the day. Beyond that, the lawn stretches out, big enough for football goals, trampolines or pets to roam. It’s enclosed, private and secure, somewhere you and your family can fully relax.

This is a large family home that will be highly sought after. The space works, the layout works and there’s enough flexibility here to carry a growing family through the next ten or fifteen years without outgrowing it. If you’ve been waiting for something that feels a cut above the standard development home, this is the one to come and see properly. Contact Hamish Homes now to arrange your viewing.
