Situated in the charming West Highland village of Lochcarron and just steps from the water’s edge, Duneistein is a detached two bedroom home with an attractive traditional exterior and a surprisingly spacious and flexible interior. Set across one and a half storeys, it offers an ideal blend of period charm and modern convenience, including a recently updated kitchen, multiple character fireplaces and a rear garden with elevated decking that looks out towards Loch Carron and the hills beyond.
A timber framed entrance porch at the front of the house leads into the main hallway. From here, the two principal living rooms sit on either side, each mirroring the other in layout and size but with their own distinct charm. The living room is a warm and welcoming space, with a multifuel stove set into a striking blue painted surround atop a stone hearth. The floor is finished in dark timber boards and a large front facing window fills the room with natural light. An alcove with built-in shelving to the side of the fire offers a useful display or storage nook.
The dining room mirrors the proportions of the living room and is equally full of charm. Cream painted walls and matching timber flooring give it a clean, relaxed feel, while a multifuel stove set against pale stone tiles adds warmth and character. A front window with radiator beneath brings in daylight and the room is easily large enough to accommodate both a dining table and casual seating or a desk setup for home working.
At the rear of the house, a door leads from the dining room into the kitchen, which has been modernised with a tasteful mix of classic and contemporary finishes. White cabinets with traditional panelled doors and decorative black handles sit neatly beneath black worktops, paired with stone effect tiled splashbacks and neutral painted walls. There’s space for a freestanding cooker and plumbing for appliances, with a window above the sink and a glazed back door leading out to the garden. The galley layout is highly efficient, with units lining both sides and a dark grey laminate floor running underfoot.
Adjoining the kitchen is the integral store and boiler room, a practical addition that provides space for a tall fridge freezer, washing machine and additional storage, all tucked out of the way. Upstairs, the landing is painted white and is naturally lit thanks to a Velux rooflight window set into the sloping ceiling at the top of the stairwell. From here, the rooms are arranged around the upper floor with charming dormer features and characterful fireplaces. The first double bedroom sits to one side and is full of period charm, with white painted walls and dark timber flooring underfoot. A traditional dormer window lets in natural light, flanked by built-in wardrobes with wooden doors on either side. A black decorative open fireplace with ornate detailing sits against the external wall, adding a touch of historic elegance to the space. Across the landing, the second double bedroom mirrors the layout and character of the first. It also features a dormer window framed by matching built-in wardrobes and the same striking open fireplace in black with period detailing. The sloped ceiling adds a cosy atmosphere, while the dark timber flooring and white walls keep the aesthetic crisp and classic. A third room on this floor serves as a study or box room. It’s a smaller space with a sloping ceiling, finished in cream paint with a white ceiling and timber flooring. Whether used as a home office, hobby space or for storage, it offers useful extra flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles. The bathroom is clean and neutral, with cream toned tiles covering all the walls. A white suite includes a toilet, a contemporary pedestal basin with chrome mixer tap and a bath with a timber side panel. A folding glass screen helps contain spray from the overhead electric shower while practical details like shelving, wall mounted towel rail and a large white ladder radiator complete the space. A wide frosted window keeps the room light while maintaining privacy. Heating is supplied via an oil fired Grant central heating boiler located in the store room, servicing a system of steel panel radiators throughout. The system is controlled by a programmer, room thermostat and thermostatic valves. Hot water is also provided via the same boiler. Outside, the property has private garden space to the front, sides and rear. The front is modest and low maintenance, laid in decorative chipped stone and bounded by a low block wall. The rear garden is particularly appealing, set on a slope with various levels formed by retaining walls and fencing. Surfaces include gravel, patio paving and a section of artificial grass, ideal for placing outdoor furniture or pots. A raised timber deck sits at the top of the garden, offering a peaceful retreat with a fantastic open outlook over the rooftops to the loch waters and hills beyond. Outbuildings include two timber sheds, one under a felt roof and another beneath a corrugated metal canopy to the rear. Combining character features, updated finishes and a location with striking natural surroundings, Duneistein presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best of Highland village living in a truly picturesque setting.
