7 bedroom house

Glebe House is constructed of stone under a pitched slate roof and has been extended at various points in its history to create what is now a spacious and very well appointed family home. The accommodation is provided over three storeys and offers great flexibility.

From the gravelled driveway to the front of the house, a front door opens into a vestibule and on to an impressive hallway with stairs to the first floor. To the left is a bright and spacious sitting room which has a wood burning stove with a marble surround and timber mantle. Opposite the sitting room is a study, an equally spacious and well-appointed room. The hallway also has a door to a rear hall which, to the right leads to a dining kitchen with timber wall and floor units, space for white goods, and a large wood burning stove. Further down the hallway is a dining room with French doors out to the garden, another wood burning stove, and a further door to a utility room. At the opposite end of the rear hall is a gallery/sitting room which leads to a studio/sun room which is flooded with natural light. A second kitchen and a shower room complete the ground floor accommodation. Following the stairs to the first floor, to the right is a spacious bathroom, a separate W.C. and a linen cupboard. From the first floor landing, to the right is the master bedroom which is a spacious and bright room with an en-suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on the first floor, two of which are particularly generously sized and have open fireplaces. The second floor has three attic bedrooms.

Overall, Glebe House has a number of fine period features including tall ceilings, cornicing, high skirtings and attractive fireplaces. The rooms are well proportioned and layout is such that it enables a great deal of flexibility. The substantial cellar, accessed via the rear hallway, provides excellent storage space and the opportunity to create further accommodation should one wish to do so (subject to obtaining all necessary consents).

GARDEN
Outside, the house sits within a generously sized garden which extends to about 0.74 acres, is interspersed with various mature trees and includes an excellent walled garden to the rear which is primarily laid to lawn and bordered by various fruit trees and bushes. Ample parking space is provided on the gravelled driveway in addition to a double garage.

SITUATION
Glebe House is an impressive Georgian former Manse located on Manse Road in Auldearn, a highly desirable village close to Nairn on the Moray coast. The house sits on an elevated site on the fringes of the village with fine views towards the Moray Firth.

The Moray coast is famous for its mild dry climate and beautiful coastline and the countryside offers a range of leisure and sporting pursuits. Auldearn has a highly regarded primary school, a popular pub and restaurant, and luxury country house hotel (Boath House). Nearby, Nairn, which can be reached via the off-road cycle track, is a thriving centre with a good range of shops and amenities, including a railway station, and excellent leisure facilities with two championship golf courses, a marina, swimming pool, gyms, and tennis courts. Inverness is within easy reach and has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with several flights per day to London, as well as regular flights to Europe.
