Set in a peaceful rural position with open views towards Inver Bay, this fantastic property offers generous and highly versatile living space, ideal for modern family life. Built approximately 51 years ago and thoughtfully modernised in recent years, the home combines practicality with flexibility, featuring five bedrooms over two floors along with a large converted garage studio.

The kitchen is well equipped with a wide range of light wood-effect floor and wall units, complemented by dark acrylic worktops. A striking range cooker forms the centrepiece, with additional space for undercounter appliances. Natural light streams in through two windows, while ceiling spotlights ensure the space is bright and functional.

Flowing from the kitchen, the spacious sitting room provides a welcoming and comfortable environment. A wood-burning stove set on a black slate hearth creates a cosy focal point, while neutral décor and natural wood finishes enhance the room’s warmth. With ample space for multiple seating arrangements, it is perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

The adjoining dining area is a particularly bright space, with windows on three sides offering lovely views over the garden. It comfortably accommodates a family-sized dining table and continues the home’s cohesive décor.

A standout feature is the large converted garage studio, a highly versatile room with multiple windows and direct access to the garden via glazed doors. Ideal as a home office, creative space or guest accommodation, it also benefits from an adjoining store room.

The ground floor further comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all finished in neutral tones and benefitting from natural light and built-in storage. The family bathroom is bright and modern, featuring a full-sized bath, separate shower cubicle, and contemporary wet wall panelling for ease of maintenance.

Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide further flexible accommodation. The principal attic bedroom includes a dormer window and its own en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom is equally spacious and bright.

The property is heated via an oil-fired Worcester boiler, with double glazing throughout and drainage to a private septic tank.
