1 The Paddock, Kincardine, Ardgay, IV24 3DJ

Positioned on a generous plot just outside of Ardgay, this detached family home offers spacious living across two floors, four bedrooms and a large garden complete with garage, workshop and greenhouse.

This is an ideal home for growing families or for those seeking a slower pace of life. Entry is through a timber-clad rear porch, where the house opens into a flowing ground floor layout.

The sitting room is a standout space, generously sized with beautiful wooden flooring.

A striking dark green feature wall sets off the chimney breast and creates a focal point for the wood-burning stove.

A chunky wooden mantle above provides the perfect ledge for personal touches, while double doors lead out onto the garden decking and lets natural light pour in.

From the sitting room you enter the garden room, another great spot to unwind. Painted in a warm orange tone, it features multiple windows that frame the greenery outside.

The floor is laid with large tiles in a tone that complements the walls and there’s plenty of space for seating to relax and enjoy the garden views.

The kitchen has a warm, practical feel, designed with both everyday living and larger family moments in mind.

Solid wooden cabinets with grey-speckled acrylic worktops, wrap around three walls, offering generous storage and keeping the layout efficient.

Cream and soft grey tiled splashbacks add a subtle contrast to the cream-painted walls.

A stylish black and cream gas range cooker sits as a natural focal point, perfect for those who enjoy cooking or entertaining.

There’s space here for a full-sized dining table, making it a sociable setting for busy breakfasts or relaxed evening meals.

Wooden flooring runs underfoot, tying the space together and giving it a grounded, cohesive finish.

Spotlights overhead keep the space bright and functional throughout the day, and a stainless steel sink is set beneath a window, ideal for keeping an eye on the garden while preparing food or washing up.

Just off the kitchen, the utility room mirrors the same calm tones with cream walls and wooden cabinets.

There's under-counter space for both a washing machine and tumble dryer, along with extra storage for household essentials.

The ground floor bedroom is generously sized, with enough room to accommodate a large double bed alongside wardrobes, drawers and a dressing table.

Three windows bring in plenty of natural light throughout the day and helps keep the room feeling bright and welcoming.

The walls are painted in a soft yellow, while the wooden flooring adds a sense of continuity with the rest of the home. The ground floor shower room has a fresh, practical feel.

Bright yellow walls add warmth and energy, balanced by large white floor tiles underfoot.

There’s a mains-fed shower in a glass enclosure, a toilet and a basin with a wall-mounted mirror above, everything you need for day-to-day use or visiting guests.

A timber staircase with wooden bannister and traditional spindles leads to the attic floor, where three further bedrooms offer comfortable and versatile living space.

The first bedroom on this level is painted in a soft blue, giving it a calm and relaxed feel. It features a window on the gable wall and a Velux-style window set into the sloped ceiling.

Two built-in cupboards provide practical storage without cluttering the room and the wooden flooring continues the warm, natural look found throughout the home.

The second bedroom is bright and airy, with two windows letting in plenty of natural light. It’s currently arranged with two single beds, which gives a clear sense of the generous floor space.

The white painted walls and ceiling spotlights keep the room feeling fresh and open and the wooden flooring adds warmth underfoot.

The third bedroom feels calm and inviting, with soft cream walls and sloped ceilings that give the space character.

Velux windows bring in overhead light during the day, with ceiling spotlights providing illumination at night.

Like the other bedrooms, there’s plenty of room for a double bed and additional furniture here, while the wooden flooring ties it in with the rest of the home.

The upper floor also has its own shower room, fitted with a white toilet and basin, a chrome-framed cubicle and a practical mirrored storage cabinet.

The light blue walls give it a calm, airy feel and the white wet-wall panelling inside the shower contrasts smartly with the fittings. Energy efficiency is a key strength of this property.

Heating is provided by a ground source heat pump, which powers underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators on the first floor.

The windows are primarily triple-glazed timber units, offering strong insulation throughout, complemented by Velux-style roof windows in the attic spaces.

The house sits within a sizeable, roughly rectangular garden plot framed by timber and wire fencing. A gravel driveway leads up to a detached garage, with a timber-clad workshop alongside it.

Additional structures include a woodstore and a greenhouse, ideal for home growing.

The garden is mainly lawn with two planting beds, a decked patio space adjoining the house and a small pond with water feature that adds a sense of calm to the outdoor setting.

With its blend of internal space, unique room finishes, extensive garden features and sustainable heating, this home offers a compelling opportunity for anyone looking to settle in a quiet yet accessible part of the Highlands.
