Set within open countryside just south of Cawdor, Ruallan House is the kind of rural setting that many buyers search for but rarely find. Surrounded by farmland and woodland, the property sits in an elevated position with grounds extending to approximately 2.95 acres. With its traditional stone construction, generous internal space and peaceful surroundings, this is a home that immediately appeals to those looking for genuine country living while remaining within driving distance of Nairn and Inverness.
A driveway leads up to the house where there is space for turning and parking. The building itself has a strong presence, with solid stone walls that have been neatly pointed to retain the character of the original construction. An open fronted stone garage sits alongside the house, providing sheltered parking or storage.
Stepping inside, the hallway leads into the main living space. The sitting and dining room is a striking room and easily the heart of the home. The exposed stone walls immediately draw your attention and give the room real character. Tall ceilings with painted timber beams add to the sense of space, while a large window to the front brings in natural light and allows you to enjoy views across the surrounding countryside. The log burning stove sits within the chimney breast on the far wall and provides both warmth and atmosphere, especially on colder evenings. The proportions of the room comfortably accommodate both seating and dining areas, making it a natural place for everyday living and gathering with family or friends. The staircase rising from one side of the room leads up to the attic floor.
A double bedroom occupies the attic level. This is a generous room with sloping ceilings that give it a distinctive attic character. White painted walls and ceilings keep the space bright, while the rooflight window allows daylight to filter in. There is plenty of space here for a double bed and furniture, with a small built in storage cupboard near the door adding practicality.
Returning to the ground floor, the kitchen sits just off the main living space. Light coloured cabinets are paired with wood effect laminate worktops, creating a practical and welcoming kitchen area. The white composite sink is positioned beneath a wide window, allowing natural light to fall across the work surfaces. An oven and hob are built into the run of units, while there is space beneath the counter for a washing machine. Light green painted walls and tiled flooring complete the room. The first of the three bedrooms is a comfortable double room with green painted walls and beige carpet underfoot. The tall deep set window adds character and allows good natural light into the room, while two radiators ensure the space remains warm throughout the year. Bedroom two is another double room finished in soft violet tones. A built in storage cupboard with a wooden louvred door keeps everyday items neatly tucked away. Bedroom three is also a spacious double and is finished with light blue painted walls. A tall window brings in natural light, while a built in cupboard with louvred doors provides additional storage. A radiator on the wall keeps the room comfortable during colder months. The property includes three separate washroom spaces, which works particularly well for busy families. The WC is a handy additional room located near the rear door that opens to the garden. It contains a toilet and sink with green painted walls around the space. The shower room houses a self contained shower cubicle and provides a second washing area within the home. Having both a shower room and a separate WC allows multiple people to use the facilities at the same time, which can be particularly useful for busy households. The main bathroom is a larger space with neutral light coloured walls. A white bath with wooden side panels gives it a traditional feel, while the toilet and vanity style basin unit sit alongside. The wide window above the sink brings in plenty of natural light and helps keep the room feeling bright and fresh. Outside, the grounds surrounding Ruallan House are a major part of its appeal. The immediate areas around the property include lawns and paved sections, while beyond these lies a sloping ravine area that forms part of the wider land holding. In total the grounds extend to approximately 2.95 acres, offering a huge amount of space for anyone wanting outdoor freedom, gardening projects or simply the privacy that rural living provides. The home benefits from oil fired central heating supplied by a combi boiler located within the hall cupboard, with radiators distributed throughout the property. Hot water is provided directly from the main heating system. The house also features a mix of uPVC windows and timber double glazed Velux roof windows, with external doors formed in uPVC. For buyers looking for a traditional stone home in a truly rural setting, Ruallan House gives you everything you’d need; space, character and the chance to shape a countryside property around your own ideas.
