About
Yopa is delighted to present Morven (circa 1880), a significant two-and-a-half-storey linked detached family home in the heart of Dufftown overlooking the Clock Tower.
Morven is an imposing property constructed of stone and slate.
It provides spacious, well-appointed accommodation with off-road parking, a garage, and a large mature garden offering a tranquil, private, relaxing space.
The front door opens into an entrance Hall with stairs to the first floor. To the left is a good-sized lounge with an exposed stone Fireplace and a multi-fuel stove.
To the right is a lovely family room, formerly a dining room. Entering a short hallway on your left is Bedroom 5, a family bathroom and the conservatory, which looks out to the garden.
The hallway also gives access to the kitchen, a good-sized utility room, and a cold pantry.
Moreover, independent of the house is an annexe with its own external door and shower room, which is currently used as a beauty salon but could be a wfh space or Air BnB let.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor are four double bedrooms. The main bedroom (view of the Clock Tower) and Bed 2 have ensuite facilities.
Beds 3 & 4 share a second family bathroom with shower over bath. Climbing the stairs to the second floor are two further Attic bedrooms, a smaller room which could be a generous storage space.
The second is a double that has been refurbished, including a new floor, plasterwork and velux window. The property has Gas CH and dg throughout.
Externally, the extensive landscaped garden is the heartbeat of the home.
A gated drive with a carport provides off-road parking for 2/3 cars, a garage with electric roller doors, and a superb secure cycle shed. The garden rises over two levels and includes: A fish pond.
A waterfall decking area. A summer house (with a private bar). Multiple seating areas where you can pursue the sun. Overall, the house has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that exudes a large family home.
It is well maintained and loved, with several fine features that one would hope to find in a house of this age and quality. All of the rooms are well-proportioned and presented.
While it is a large family home, the current owners have previously run a successful bed and breakfast for many years.
Viewing is essential to appreciate the scale and flexibility of the layout and the garden space's variety.
