3 Bedroom Family Home

This is a delightful property that will provide a lovely home for a growing family or first-time buyer. Built in 1975 this comfortable house is located about 300 m from the centre of Scotlands’ oldest royal burgh, Tain.

The house has a lovely quirky feel to it, with the entrance leading past a large cloakroom into an inner hall. Opening onto a large living room, double patio doors let the space fill with light, while glazed and white painted doors lend a feeling of airiness. A pair of large sliding barn doors connect the living room and kitchen / dining room, giving a sense of an open-plan space, but easily closed so that a cosier environment or extra privacy can be created when required.

The kitchen is large and fitted with plentiful wall and floor cabinets. A window above the sink looks out into a workshop (which could continue as such, or the new owner may prefer to convert it to an indoor-outdoor space, subject to suitable permissions). Lined with timber the dining area is attractive with an appealing country feel in keeping with its semi-rural location. There is a glazed door and full-height windows which give a view to the rear of the property.

Upstairs, there are three generously sized and pleasant bedrooms. The master bedroom is well proportioned and has a range of built-in storage and wardrobe space. Two other rooms each offer a good amount of space, and both would make comfortable bedrooms, or one could be easily utilised as a practical and spacious home office.

The landing has additional storage and the family bathroom has a bath with an electric shower over, WC and wash hand basin.

The decor throughout the property is in greys and whites giving it a clean modern look, but there is very much a sense of being in a semi-rural property which makes it feel both attractive, and in keeping with properties of this age in this part of the Highlands.

From the kitchen, the exterior doors lead to a large shed which is currently used as a workshop and tool store, plus a utility room with ample room for white goods, including space for a large chest freezer. A further set of exterior doors is in the living room; these give access to the main area of garden; although this is not large it is delightful and, filled with raised beds, gravel, and a small pond, has been imaginatively designed.

This is a nicely maintained property that has a pleasant friendly atmosphere, which will make an attractive and comfortable home for a small or growing family.
