Access is through the attractive vestibule, which in turn leads to the welcoming traditional reception hall. There are three principal rooms on the ground floor providing flexible accommodation. The spacious formal lounge with its huge bay window is located on the north side of the property with views extending across the harbour to the Moray Firth and a traditional working fireplace adds that touch of grandeur. A further reception room or bedroom five also has views and a fireplace.

A formal dining room is located at the front of the property with French doors leading to the kitchen. The modern dining kitchen includes floor and wall-mounted units, with contrasting worktops and splash-back walls with a mixture of integrated and stand-alone appliances. The kitchen allows access to the utility room with access to the rear courtyard. A separate shower room is also available from the utility room and a guest WC completes the ground floor.

The stunning carpeted staircase with a wooden balustrade leads to the two upper floors. On the half landing, a stone glass window floods the hall and stairs with the morning light. Off the half-landing is the elegant family bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower cubical. On the first floor, there is the master bedroom with a newly fitted en-suite shower room and there are an additional three double bedrooms on this floor.

There is a hidden staircase leading to the upper floor which has two large rooms and was probably used as the servants quarters in days gone by. This would be a fantastic games room, hobby room or sixth bedroom if required. In addition, there is an abundance of storage cupboards on all floors.

The property is set back from Horns Brae and occupies a generous size site with garden areas to the front, side and rear. A gated picket fence to the front of the property can be removed in seconds and allows off-street parking for one vehicle.

The front garden is laid to decorative stone chip, with a scattering of mature shrubs and seasonal plants, and to the side of the property, there is an extensive decked area that allows access to a sloping grassed area of lawn which is a safe environment for pets. This area can be accessed from the rear courtyard or the front of the property.

The rear private gated courtyard is bordered by a large stone wall with decorative stone chips and paved areas. Sporadic planting of mature shrubs and seasonal flowers with a decorative small pond, multiple seating areas and a summer house ensure that you can enjoy this garden throughout the day and is perfect for some alfresco dining and entertaining. A safe and secure area for children and pets alike.
