3 bed detached bungalow for sale

B9040, Lossiemouth IV31

Yopa is delighted to present Balgreen Croft, an attractive traditional cottage dating from around 1919. Thoughtfully extended and modernised, it is now a spacious and highly versatile family home. With approximately 140 m2 (1,505 sq. Ft.) of single-level accommodation on about 0.7 acres, the property blends traditional character with generous contemporary living spaces.

Extended in 2008 and again in 2018, the property provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate WC, an impressive modern kitchen and dining room, a substantial lounge, and a bright conservatory. The extensive plot also includes generous parking, garden areas, a summer house, and 14 former dog kennels. These outbuildings offer considerable flexibility for storage, workshop space, or other uses, subject to any necessary permissions.

The welcoming hallway provides access to all three bedrooms and the family bathroom.

Bedroom One is an especially generous double room, with French doors opening directly onto the garden and an en-suite shower room.

Bedroom Two is another spacious double bedroom, including a built-in wardrobe and additional storage cupboards. Bedroom Three is also comfortably proportioned and could serve as a home office, dressing room, or hobby space.

The modern family bathroom features a white suite comprising a bath, WC and wash-hand basin.

At the heart of the home is the superb kitchen and dining room. Designed for everyday family life and entertaining, the kitchen features a wide range of stylish contemporary units complemented by warm timber work surfaces. A substantial central island includes an induction hob and provides extra preparation and informal dining space.

Integrated Neff appliances include double ovens and a dishwasher. Recessed ceiling lighting and multiple windows make the room bright and highly functional. There is ample space for a family dining table, and French doors open directly onto the garden and outdoor seating area.

Beside the kitchen is a practical utility room, providing additional appliance and storage space, along with direct external access. An adjoining WC adds further convenience and also houses the Worcester oil-fired central-heating boiler.

The large and comfortable lounge has ample room for various seating arrangements. A wood-burning stove creates an inviting focal point and adds warmth and character. French doors connect the lounge to the conservatory, allowing the two rooms to work well together.

Overlooking the garden, the conservatory provides a bright and flexible additional living space. It is ideally suited as a family room, dining area, or relaxing garden room, with doors opening directly outside.

Balgreen Croft occupies a substantial plot extending to approximately 0.7 acre. The garden incorporates lawn, established planting, a productive vegetable bed and several paved and gravelled seating areas, providing plenty of scope for outdoor dining, gardening and family recreation.

A timber summer house offers extra space for leisure or hobbies and could be supplied with power, subject to appropriate installation and checks.

One of the property’s most distinctive features is the range of 14 former dog kennels. Protected by a metal roof, these provide considerable potential for storage, workshop use, animal accommodation, or adaptation to suit a purchaser’s individual requirements, subject to any necessary consents.

A generous gravelled area to the front provides convenient off-road parking for approximately three or four vehicles.

Further benefits include uPVC double glazing throughout and oil-fired central heating supplied by a Worcester boiler. Roof-mounted photovoltaic panels generate electricity and currently benefit from a feed-in tariff. Although the system does not include battery storage, it incorporates a hot-water inverter, allowing surplus generated energy to assist with heating the domestic hot-water supply. The property has mains water and private drainage to a septic tank.

Balgreen Croft enjoys an appealing rural setting close to Lossiemouth, combining countryside living with convenient access to the town’s shops, schools, leisure facilities and everyday amenities. Lossiemouth’s renowned East and West beaches, harbour and extensive coastal walks are only a short drive away. The location should also appeal to aircraft enthusiasts, with RAF Lossiemouth nearby.
