Bramble Cottage, Darnaway, by Forres, IV36 2TU

Property Description

3 Bedroom(s) | 1 Bathroom(s) | 1 Reception(s)

A beautifully presented three-bedroom detached stone cottage set in the peaceful and highly sought-after hamlet of Conicavel, on the edge of the stunning Darnaway Forest. Combining timeless character with carefully considered modern upgrades, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy a tranquil semi-rural lifestyle with direct access to woodland walks, cycling routes, fishing, equestrian pursuits and nature right on your doorstep.

The property has been thoughtfully modernised throughout, creating a warm, inviting home that is ready to move straight into.

At the heart of the home is a stunning, spacious dining kitchen featuring a classic Belfast sink, electric Rangemaster cooker and a large central island—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright and airy sunroom, offering a superb additional living space with views over the garden and double French doors opening directly outside. A multi-fuel Stovax stove allows for comfortable year-round use, making this a true extension of the home.

The generous lounge provides a cosy retreat, complete with a multi-fuel stove, beautiful parquet oak flooring and finished in Bauwerk lime wash paint, creating a calm and characterful living space. The fireplace has been thoughtfully upgraded, featuring a Caithness slate hearth, a hand-cut pink sandstone mantle crafted by a local stonemason to match the original cottage stone, and a lime-rendered chimney breast, creating a striking focal point that beautifully reflects the character and heritage of the home.

The ground floor also benefits from excellent practical storage, including a dedicated utility/laundry area and separate pantry, providing excellent additional storage and organisation, enhancing the day-to-day functionality of the home.

A newly installed, stylish contemporary bathroom completes the ground floor, featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and electric underfloor heating finished to an exceptional standard.

Upstairs, the property offers a spacious principal bedroom, a further comfortable double bedroom, and a versatile third bedroom ideal as a nursery, guest room or home office, along with a convenient WC.

The cottage sits within privately enclosed gardens, filled with a wonderful variety of established planting, including fruit trees and edibles, creating a peaceful and productive outdoor space. A driveway and garage provide excellent parking and storage, complemented by a generous timber shed and additional log/wood storage.

Full fibre broadband infrastructure has recently been installed in the area and is now available for connection, offering high-speed connectivity suitable for home working and streaming.

Perfectly positioned for outdoor enthusiasts, the property enjoys immediate access to Darnaway Forest while remaining within easy reach of Forres, the Moray Coast, Inverness Airport and the Cairngorms National Park.
