Property Description
3 Bedroom(s) | 1 Bathroom(s) | 1 Reception(s)
This beautifully presented three bedroom traditional semi-detached home offers an exceptional blend of character, comfort, and convenience.
Dating back to the 1800s, the property originally served as a school for girls before later being converted into a hall, with Fraser’s Cottage acting as the hall keeper’s residence at the time. In the 1900s, it was further transformed into two semi-detached homes.
Situated in a peaceful setting yet only moments from the excellent amenities of the picturesque town of Forres, it provides an ideal home for couples, families, or anyone seeking a welcoming retreat close to town.
The interior is bright and inviting, having been thoughtfully maintained and tastefully decorated throughout. The spacious lounge/diner forms the heart of the home, featuring an attractive open fire which creates a warm and cosy focal point for everyday living, whilst the dining area is well proportioned and ideally positioned to accommodate a fully sized table, making it a perfect setting for family meals or entertaining guests, with ample natural light further enhancing the welcoming atmosphere.
The modern, well-appointed fully fitted kitchen offers a generous range of wall and base mounted units, enhanced by a breakfast bar/island providing both a practical work surface and a convenient space for informal dining.
A particular highlight of the home is the large conservatory, offering a versatile and relaxing space with pleasant views over the garden. The property further benefits from three comfortable bedrooms, two doubles and one single, providing flexible accommodation to suit a range of needs. Completing the accommodation is a stylish, contemporary family bathroom, equipped with a modern three-piece suite and a shower over the bath, combining practicality with comfort.
Access to the loft is available via a loft ladder, offering additional storage space.
Externally, the property benefits from a private walled garden, predominantly laid to lawn and offset with attractive slabbed and gravelled areas adding character to the outdoor space. Further features include two garden sheds (one timber, one plastic) and a greenhouse, offering excellent storage and ideal facilities for gardening enthusiasts.
Although there is no designated parking on site, the seller has advised that there is an informal arrangement allowing parking on a neighbouring driveway, which is expected to continue for the new owners. Additionally, there is a free public car park located just a few seconds walk from the property.
Generous, versatile, and full of charm, this delightful property presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious and characterful home in a highly desirable location.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the bright décor, generous proportions, and inviting atmosphere on offer.
