5 bed detached house for sale

Auldearn, Nairn IV12

At the heart of Boath Lodge (formerly known as the Wendy House) is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, designed for both everyday family life and relaxed entertaining. The generously proportioned kitchen has been thoughtfully designed for entertaining, featuring a sixburner Rangemaster, double Belfast sink and ample room for a large American-style fridge-freezer. There is also space for a substantial dining table and, if desired, a central island. Dual-aspect glazing at either end of the house, together with large rooflights, fills the space with natural light throughout the day, while a beautiful first-floor mezzanine creates a real sense of volume and architectural interest. A centrally positioned freestanding multi-fuel stove in the living area forms an eye-catching focal point, visible from the kitchen, dining and living areas, and adds warmth and atmosphere in the cooler months. French doors lead directly out to the sunny deck, creating an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Rustic, solid oak doors run throughout the house, bringing warmth and character to the clean-lined contemporary design.

The accommodation offers four/five versatile bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. Three are positioned on the ground floor, including the principal suite, which enjoys direct access to the sunny deck - an ideal spot for a quiet morning coffee or evening glass of wine. One bedroom is currently arranged as a home office but retains the flexibility to return easily to an en-suite bedroom. Above, the mezzanine level leads to two further en-suite bedrooms, each enjoying the wonderful natural light that defines the home. This thoughtful layout gives every occupant their own private retreat, making Boath Lodge especially well suited to a large family, multigenerational living, or buyers seeking an appealing holiday-let or Airbnb opportunity. Boath Lodge is a distinctive and highly adaptable home built in 2014 - contemporary in design, warm in character and created for a lifestyle that embraces light, space, entertaining and the beauty of its rural surroundings.
