Rosslyn Cottage is a beautifully rebuilt and extended detached cottage positioned in the heart of the picturesque coastal village of Portmahomack. Just a short stroll from the sandy beach, harbour and village amenities, this would make the perfect coastal home, a charming holiday retreat or an investment opportunity in a desirable seaside community.
When you arrive at the property, the attractive white rendered exterior, slate roof and traditional cottage styling immediately creates a welcoming first impression. The home enjoys a peaceful setting with the coastline only moments away.
You enter the home through the porch, which opens into the main living area. The lounge is an inviting space centred around a chimney breast which houses a striking solid fuel stove. A thick timber mantel rests above, giving the room warmth and character. The walls of the room are painted crisp white, while light grey timber effect flooring runs underfoot throughout the ground floor. Two slim windows to the front are complemented by a larger window overlooking the rear.. The staircase rises neatly from the back of the room.
Accessed via a door at the side of the lounge, the kitchen and dining room is another generous open plan space. Cream coloured cabinets with traditional wooden knobs are paired with grey worktops, giving you a timeless appearance that’s in keeping with the cottage style. A built-in oven sits beneath an induction hob, while there is dedicated space and plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher. White tiled splashbacks provide an easy to maintain finish around the cooking area, with the remaining walls painted in a soft cream tone. At one side, the spacious dining area comfortably accommodates a large family table and chairs, making it ideal for meals and entertaining guests. A rear door also provides direct access to the garden.
A door off the kitchen leads into a convenient ground floor WC. Finished with white walls and the same grey flooring, it includes a pedestal wash basin, toilet and useful built-in storage cupboards.
On the first floor you’ll find two good size double bedrooms. The first is an impressive room featuring clean white walls, timber flooring and an attractive angled roofline that adds to the cottage character. Windows on three sides bring excellent natural light into the room, while the generous floor area gives you plenty of space for additional bedroom furniture. The en-suite shower room is fitted with a corner shower enclosure with a white frame and lined with grey tiles. The remaining walls are painted white.
Bedroom two is another spacious double room and is currently arranged with two single beds. White walls and timber flooring continue the modern neutral décor, while windows on two sides let in plenty of daylight. This room also benefits from its own en-suite shower room, fitted in a matching style with a shower enclosure together with a pedestal wash basin and toilet.
To the rear, the garden has been designed for low maintenance, laid with paving. A timber shed offers useful external storage for bicycles, gardening equipment or outdoor furniture, while the enclosed setting gives you a pleasant and private space to enjoy the fresh coastal air.
