Detached house for sale in Calrossie, Tain IV19

Stunning uniquely-designed rural house with exceptional views and large garden

This impressive house is situated near the main route on the Fearn Peninsula and within commuting distance of Tain, Dingwall, and Inverness. Oaklea’s outstanding location has views of agricultural land, mountains, and nature. It is a tastefully designed 181m2 home, suitable for a large family and visitors, and has potential for use as a business setting or remote workplace.

The property is screened from the road by mature copper beech hedging, with its entrance opening onto a sweeping drive with two integral garages and lawn.

Finished in light colours and with good quality natural wood finishes used for doors and joinery throughout, the house is airy and modern. It is accessed through a glazed vestibule and large hallway, and into an open-plan kitchen and seating area.

The kitchen is strikingly finished with light blue-grey cabinets and a circular stainless steel extractor hood, emphasising the space's contemporary design. The walls are finished with grey metro tiles. A breakfast bar, space for dining furniture, and access to the patio via the informal seating area create a space focused on family, relaxation, and entertainment.

A generously sized utility room is attached to the kitchen, fitted with cabinets and a sink. This leads to a cloakroom, with a walk-in shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

The main accommodation is found upstairs, and has clearly been designed to enjoy the exquisite south-westerly views. The living room extends across much of the first floor and features a vast gable window which opens onto a covered glass balcony. This is a large space offering scope for several layouts and zoned areas. A skylight gives views to the north-east.

The principal bedroom also enjoys views to the south-west, ensuring the room is filled with natural light. A partially coombed ceiling gives additional shape and character. The en-suite has a large window and is finished with marble wall and floor tiles, creating a luxurious space. There is a walk-in shower enclosure, and a wash hand basin and WC in an Edwardian style, adding to the sense of elegance.

Three further bedrooms are available, all benefitting from beautiful views. The smallest bedroom, currently used as a study, is especially charming. Finished with a playful contemporary floral paper on one wall and a deeply coombed ceiling with a large skylight, this room would also make a fabulous workspace or playroom.

A family bathroom is decorated with cornflower blue metro tiles on two walls and fitted with a generously sized contemporary bath, WC and wash hand basin.

The garden is accessed from the utility room, opening onto a lawn enclosed with timber fencing, making it ideal as a dog run. The rest of the garden is laid mainly with grass, with various areas for utility and relaxation. A stand-alone metal pergola creates a contemporary, almost sculptural setting for the patio, and a timber summer house is delightfully enclosed in its own timber-fenced garden space.

This beautifully designed property offers tremendous potential as a modern family home. With an outstanding location and striking design elements, Oalklea is expected to be popular and early viewing is recommended.
