House For Sale £350,000
Spacious Detached 4 Bedroom Villa set In Extensive Garden Grounds with Garage and Large Outbuilding
Description - Fairmede is a spacious, detached villa set in large garden grounds, extending to approximately 1.34 acres, offering a high degree of privacy. The rooms are well proportioned with large kitchen allowing ample room for table and chairs, with separate dining room providing for more formal occasions. The lounge runs the width of the property with open fireplace providing a cosy focal point and windows to rear and side and bay window overlooking the garden at the front. There is a handy, good sized wc on the ground floor and the property is approached to the rear via a porch/utility room. The upper floor is bright and airy with four bedrooms and a family bathroom and appreciates a pleasant aspect across the garden to hills beyond. Benefiting from oil central heating and a mixture of double, single and secondary glazing, the property comes complete with an attached garage and separate detached store, which has excellent development potential (subject to Local Authority consent).
Whilst this property would benefit from modernisation, it enjoys large garden grounds with superb potential for expansion and really must be seen to be appreciated.
Location - The property is situated on the periphery of the picturesque fishing village of Avoch, on the Black Isle, approximately 13 miles north east of Inverness. Local amenities include shops, hotel, hot food take-aways and marina - all within easy walking distance. There is a primary school in Avoch, whilst secondary pupils would attend Fortrose Academy and are transported daily by bus. Nature lovers will enjoy the regular sightings of dolphins, seals and otters, with the Moray Firth a short walk away.
