The bathroom combines a patterned tile finish with a traditional coloured suite, with the tiles repeating a floral motif in warm orange tones. The suite itself includes a pedestal wash hand basin, a matching bath with chrome grab handles and a toilet fitted with a wooden seat lid. A wall-mounted mirrored cabinet sits above the basin, providing useful storage, while a shelf positioned over the toilet offers an additional place for everyday items.
Tucked just off the hallway is a small cupboard that has been set up as a practical utility space. Inside, patterned wall coverings match the hallway decor, and the room provides straightforward storage alongside space for everyday appliances. This a useful spot for managing laundry and keeping essentials organised without intruding on the main living areas.
The main bedroom has a calm feel, with one wall finished in a soft peach tone and the remaining walls kept in a light, neutral shade that keeps the room bright. A fitted cupboard with white painted doors, is built into one corner, providing practical storage without taking up floor space. The window sits opposite while the flooring is fitted with a green carpet that runs throughout the room, adding warmth underfoot.
Bedroom two follows a similar traditional style, with light coloured walls paired with a patterned floral border running around the room at mid height. A built-in wardrobe is set to one side, giving useful enclosed storage. The window lets in plenty of natural light with a radiator positioned below for warmth. The floor is laid with a deep red carpet, adding a warmer tone to the room’s overall look.
The walls of bedroom 3 are painted in a light shade with a blue patterned border running around the room at mid height. A fitted wardrobe with plain white doors sits on one wall, giving useful built-in storage. The flooring is laid with a patterned carpet that continues the traditional feel of the room. A radiator sits to one side of the doorway, keeping the space warm and practical for daily use.
The rear garden is arranged across several levels, incorporating paved paths, gravelled seating areas, grass sections with a series of planted beds held in place by stone retaining walls. Mature shrubs add texture across the slope, while fencing and block walls form the boundaries. There are several outbuildings, including sheds, a greenhouse and a larger corrugated building, all positioned within the garden grounds. Beyond the main garden, a second area of ground sits to the rear. This section is unlandscaped and mostly laid in rough grass, providing additional outdoor space with future potential for the next owner to shape as they wish.
Myrtle Cottage has the kind of charm that makes you feel at home the moment you arrive. It’s a traditional bungalow with practical space inside and a surprisingly generous set of gardens outside, plus useful outbuildings and that extra piece of ground offering real future potential. For anyone looking to settle in a quiet village with easy access to Forres, this is a property that gives you character, convenience and room to grow and personalise.
