The property
St. Ronans is an outstanding period home, occupying one of the most admired and sought after locations on Victoria Road, Forres, which is situated in a conservation area. This generously-proportioned, double fronted stonebuilt residence was built circa 1864, and offers more than 5,800 sq. ft. of accommodation arranged over three floors. The property has been lovingly and sympathetically restored, retaining all of its original charm and character features, which include large sash windows, high ceilings with fine cornicing, original plasterwork and fireplaces.
From the broad, welcoming reception hall with
original feature tiled flooring there is access to a large 26 ft. lounge with a front aspect bay window, feature fireplace and a door to a spacious triple aspect glazed conservatory with French doors to the front and a door to the rear terrace. The dining room has a bay window and feature fireplace and there is a family room with bespoke bookshelves incorporating bi-fold doors opening to a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. This room presents a range of bespoke wall and base units including a large central island, granite worktops, a four oven
Aga, modern integrated appliances, space for a sizeable table for more informal meals and a neighbouring fitted utility room with walk-in pantry and a door to the garden. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a spacious double bedroom with a neighbouring cloakroom/family bathroom. The property also benefits from a large L-shaped cellar with two rooms, currently used as an office but suitable for a variety of uses including conversion to additional accommodation if required (subject to the appropriate planning consents – ).
On the first floor there is a large orangery with full-height glazing affording stunning farreaching
views over the garden and beyond, currently configured as a snooker room. There is also an extensive principal bedroom with front aspect bay window, feature fireplace and en suite shower room, an additional bedroom with feature bay window, fireplace and en suite shower room and three further spacious double bedrooms, all with feature fireplaces. A part-timber clad family bathroom and a useful separate cloakroom compete the accommodation on the level.
The property will suit a variety of purchasers, due to its flexibility and further development potential. In particular, there is also a two bedroom annexe/lodge house within the grounds which would make the perfect home office, potentially generate a rental income or cater for a family member.
Situated in the north of Scotland on the Moray coast, the historic town of Forres, winners of Britain in Bloom, offers a wide range of day-to- day amenities including independent and High Street shopping, numerous restaurants and public houses. The town is surrounded by a large network of walking and cycle paths and is home to a golf course, community centre, and various sports clubs. Inverness and Elgin offer more extensive High Street shops and supermarkets, cafés, bars, restaurants and leisure and entertainment facilities. Communications links are excellent: the nearby A96 runs from Aberdeen to Inverness and links to the A9, Forres station offers regular services to Elgin and Inverness with onward links to major regional centres including a sleeper service to London and Inverness Airport offers a number of domestic and European flights.
Sitting in approximately 1.25 acres, the property is approached through two stone pillars and double iron gates over a gravelled driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, an additional drive to the rear of the property givies access to the rear of the house, lodge, garages, work, tool and potting shed. The stunning, meticulously maintained mature gardens surrounding the property is laid mainly to level lawn interspersed with mature shrubs and beautiful specimen trees and bordered
by well-stocked flower and shrub beds and features a large block-paved rear terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole screened by mature hedging.
