A three bedroom bungalow just outside Ardersier has come onto the market with a traditional steading, barn and a collection of useful outbuildings.
Situated at 5 Ardersier Mains, the detached property occupies a rural setting with good garden grounds and accommodation arranged entirely on one level.
The house is a straightforward family home, although the additional buildings and surrounding space make it rather different from a conventional village bungalow.
Inside, the accommodation includes a spacious lounge with an open fireplace, three double bedrooms, a kitchen and a family shower room.
The lounge is a comfortable size, with the fireplace providing a traditional focal point, while the bedrooms offer practical accommodation without the need to negotiate stairs.
The kitchen would benefit from renovation, and there is scope to update other parts of the house over time.
That is an important consideration for prospective purchasers, as the property is being marketed as a home requiring some modernisation rather than one that has recently been refurbished.
The bungalow has double glazing and oil fired central heating, with an EPC rating of E.
Outside, a private driveway leads to the garage and adjoining lean to, providing parking and additional storage.
The garden grounds offer a good amount of space around the house, but it is the inclusion of a steading and barn that gives this property much of its interest.
These traditional outbuildings could provide useful accommodation for equipment, workshop activities or hobbies, subject to their condition and any necessary permissions.
The selling agent also identifies possible conversion potential, although no planning approval for such work is confirmed in the particulars.
For anyone considering substantial alterations, the condition of the existing buildings and the relevant planning requirements would need to be established.
The property benefits from mains water and electricity, with private drainage to a septic tank.
Ardersier itself is a coastal village on the Moray Firth, with local shops, a primary school, Post Office and other community facilities.
Fort George and Inverness Airport are nearby, while Inverness and Nairn provide a wider range of services and employment opportunities.
The village’s location also places it close to the coastline and the surrounding countryside, making it a well established residential community within easy travelling distance of the Highland capital.
At Ardersier Mains, the appeal lies in having a detached home with generous grounds and buildings that provide additional space beyond the main accommodation.
The house requires some work, but its existing layout, rural setting and substantial outbuildings give purchasers a useful starting point.
The property is being marketed by Tailormade Moves
