3 bed detached house for sale

Glenallachie, Aberlour AB38

Sunny Bank is a gorgeous five bedroom detached home in the beautiful setting of Glenallachie, around 1.5 miles from the centre of Aberlour. Surrounded by trees and generous lawns, the house feels tucked away with a long driveway winding its way up to the property. With a double integral garage and some superb living spaces too, this is a very special home for any family looking for privacy and countryside around them.

The house itself has plenty of character, with white rendered walls, stone detailing and warm timber around the windows and roofline. The double integral garage has an electrically operated roller door making it the perfect place for parking cars, storage or turning into a workshop or hobby space.

The front door opens into an entrance vestibule before leading through to the hallway, where the natural timber doors, frames and skirtings immediately bring warmth to the interior.

The main lounge is a fantastic size, giving you a huge amount of room to create a comfortable family area with space for a large sofa suite and plenty of additional furniture. Wide glazed doors open directly to the garden while the timber effect flooring and light coloured walls give the room a bright finish.

The kitchen, dining and family area is an open plan space designed around everyday family life. The kitchen is fitted with warm timber cabinets, paired with long dark worktops and stainless steel handles. Additional cabinets continue around the cooking area, where the gas hob and built-in oven sit beneath a curved glass extractor suspended overhead. There is plenty of room just beyond for a large family dining table and chairs. Glazed doors open directly outside, making the garden and deck easy to enjoy during the warmer months.

Beyond the dining area is the family room. A deep green feature wall gives the room a rich splash of colour, with the wood burning stove taking pride of place in the middle. There’s loads of room for sofas and chairs around it, while a large window and another set of glazed garden doors bring in daylight and the views of the trees and greenery outside. It’s a room that feels made for relaxing together, particularly with the stove lit on a winter evening.

A separate utility room adds another useful working space away from the main kitchen. There are timber cabinets with an additional stainless steel sink and space for laundry appliances, helping keep the practical side of family life contained in one room.

The nearby shower room has a smart modern look. A large glazed shower occupies one side of the room, with white wall panels creating a clean finish around it. On the opposite side, a rounded bowl basin sits on a timber vanity unit beneath a wide mirror. A white toilet and chrome ladder style towel radiator complete the room.

There is also a bedroom on the ground floor, giving Sunny Bank useful sleeping accommodation without having to use the stairs. It is a good sized room with blue painted walls, timber effect flooring and a wide timber framed window looking outside. There is enough floor space for a double bed along with drawers or other bedroom furniture.

The timber staircase rises to the first floor, where you’ll find the impressive master bedroom suite. Sloping ceilings give it plenty of character, while the room itself is large enough for a king size bed and a separate seating area. A colourful leaf patterned feature wall adds personality with a built-in mirror fronted wardrobe providing plenty of fitted storage alongside. At the opposite end of the room, glazed double doors open onto a Juliet style balcony. The master also has its own en-suite shower room, where a glazed enclosure sits alongside a modern vanity area and toilet. A rooflight above brings daylight into the room, while blue mosaic tiles add a splash of colour.

Bedroom number 3 is another comfortable double. A large Velux style rooflight window brings in plenty of daylight and there’s good floor space around the bed, with the neutral walls and natural timber trim keeping the room warm and easy on the eye.

Another bedroom has a timber framed window looking out across the grounds and a mirrored built in wardrobe providing useful storage. The sloping ceiling adds a little character without taking away too much usable floor space, leaving plenty of room for bedroom furniture.

The fifth bedroom is especially generous and gives the house even more flexibility. It stretches across the converted attic area above the garage, with sloping ceilings and rooflights giving the room plenty of character. The current layout easily accommodates seating and a large desk area, showing just how much usable space there is. A store cupboard off this room has already been plumbed for an en-suite, giving you an interesting option for the future.

The family bathroom on this level has a full sized white bath running along one wall with a shower fitting above. Large neutral tiles cover the walls around it, with a narrow mosaic border adding some detail. A modern bowl basin sits on a dark unit with the toilet positioned nearby. A rooflight above the bath brings in plenty of daylight.

Sunny Bank has uPVC double glazed windows along with timber Velux units. Central heating is provided by an lpg fired boiler. Hot water is supplied by the boiler and is supplemented by an immersion and solar panels. The property has a private water supply shared with neighbouring properties, with drainage going to a private Bio-disc treatment plant.

Outside, the amount of ground around Sunny Bank is a huge part of its appeal. Lawns stretch away from the house, surrounded by tall trees that give the property a beautiful green backdrop and a wonderful feeling of privacy. The more enclosed garden behind the house has another good sized lawn, together with a large raised timber deck. There’s plenty of room on the decking for a table, chairs and barbecue, making it a great outdoor space for family meals or summer evenings. A timber garden shed provides additional outdoor storage.

This home has so many special elements which make it really stand out, from its beautiful setting that gives you a wonderful sense of space and privacy. For a family dreaming of a large countryside home with Aberlour only a short distance away, this is one that really needs to be seen. Contact Hamish Homes to arrange your private viewing now!
