3 bed detached house for sale

Barclay Drive, Fortrose IV10

Three bedrooms, a private driveway and a garden full of colour, this detached home in Fortrose has everything a family could need. Built in 2016, this modern construction displays clean lines and the kind of layout that works effortlessly for a wide range of buyers.

As you arrive, you’re greeted with a well kept front lawn offering a touch of colour. A tarmac driveway runs neatly down the side of the house, giving you private off street parking and access through to the rear garden.

Stepping inside, the hallway welcomes you with lovely dark wooden flooring underfoot, giving a sense of quality from the outset. The walls are painted a crisp white and there’s a radiator here too, helping to keep the space warm during colder months.

You’ll find the lounge sitting to the front where the same wooden flooring continues, creating a natural flow from the hallway. Light painted walls keep the room fresh and airy, while the wide window brings in plenty of daylight. There’s enough room here for a full sofa arrangement without the space feeling crowded, making it an easy room to relax in.

To the rear of the home is the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen itself is fitted with white cabinets finished with chrome handles, paired with dark wood toned worktops and matching short upstands. Under cabinet lighting is installed, adding a stylish touch and illuminating the work surfaces below. A built-in oven sits below an electric induction hob, while there’s space and plumbing here for a washing machine too.

Alongside, the dining area has space to accommodate a full family table and chairs. The room is lifted with one wall finished in a tasteful floral wallpaper that adds character without overwhelming the space. Glazed French doors open from here directly into the garden, bringing in natural light and making summer dining feel effortless.

Just off the kitchen is the cloakroom WC. The design here is bold and confident, with a deep purple feature wall and striking black and white patterned flooring. A toilet and basin complete the room, offering everyday convenience for both family life and visiting guests.

The staircase from the hallway rises to the first floor, covered in a thick dark grey carpet which continues across the landing. Here, white painted walls keep the space bright, with doors leading off to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

The main bedroom is a generous double with a wide window drawing in natural light. A treeline patterned wallpaper feature wall adds colour and texture, while a built in wardrobe keeps storage neatly contained. The real advantage here is the private en-suite shower room. Finished with glossy dark grey tiling inside the shower cubicle and a compact unit housing the basin and toilet, it gives you your own dedicated space to get ready in the mornings in private.

The second bedroom is another comfortable double, finished in fresh white tones with beige carpet underfoot. Mirror fronted sliding wardrobes reflect the light and provide excellent built-in storage without reducing usable floor space.

Bedroom three also accommodates a double bed comfortably. Light painted walls in here with beige carpet make it a flexible room, whether you choose to use it as a bedroom, nursery, guest space or as a home office.

The bathroom is equipped with everything a family could need. A large white bath has a folding shower screen to the side, with a mixer shower fitted above. Cream tiling lines the walls around the bath and shower area, making it easy to clean and maintain. To the side, a grey toned unit houses the wash basin and toilet and has useful storage beneath. A frosted window allows natural light in while a radiator is fitted to keep the space warm when needed.

Outside, the rear garden is mainly laid to lawn, scattered with shrubs, flowers and established plants that give it real colour and character through the seasons. A timber shed provides additional outdoor storage, meaning tools and bikes can be neatly and securely tucked away. Timber fencing encloses the space..
