Belmaduthy, Munlochy, IV8 8PF

Approached through private gates and along a sweeping driveway, Hollymount sits quietly amongst some of the most impressive garden grounds you'll find on the Black Isle. Surrounded by mature woodland, colourful plants and around one and a half acres of grounds, this detached family home has the peace and privacy of a rural setting with the convenience of Inverness being just a short drive away.

You enter through an entrance vestibule with glazed timber doors leading onwards into the main hall. Just off the vestibule is the ground floor WC which is fitted with a toilet and wall mounted wash basin.
Beyond, the hallway immediately creates a strong first impression with solid wood flooring running throughout and a staircase o the side, finished with matching timber balustrade and handrail rising to the first floor. Cream painted walls keep the space light while the generous size makes it a welcoming central hub.

The kitchen, dining and family room forms the heart of the home, combining cooking, dining and everyday living space within one large open plan room. At the far end extensive timber cabinets wrap around the room, giving you a substantial amount of storage and worktop space. A large range cooker sits beneath a striking black extractor hood, creating a natural focal point within the kitchen area. Additional integrated appliances include a dishwasher and built-in microwave, with open shelves and display areas too. Green and white chequered tiled splashbacks add colour against the otherwise cream painted walls. In the centre of the room there’s plenty of space for a large dining table meaning family meals and entertaining can become part of everyday life. There’s also room for a sitting or family area where sofas and chairs can create a sociable environment for everyone.

Just off the family area is a door that leads into the utility room, which continues the traditional style found in the kitchen with fitted cabinets providing additional storage. There’s room for laundry appliances beneath the worktops meaning household tasks can be kept separate from the main living areas.

The living room is another good size space finished with warm timber flooring and decorative timber dado rails running around the walls. A large decorative fireplace with an ornate timber surround forms the centrepiece of the room, incorporating a gas fire set within the chimney breast. The large window provides you with beautiful views across the gardens, bringing the changing colours in throughout the year.

The home also has a separate dining room which has a more intimate atmosphere and is well suited to formal meals or family gatherings. Timber flooring continues underfoot, while a large window brings daylight into the room. Glazed timber doors connect the space with the garden room beyond.

The garden room takes full advantage of its position with large windows and glazed doors creating a strong connection with the garden grounds. The room has large cream floor tiles and a neutral decor, with a wall mounted radiator to help keep the space warm year round.

Also on the ground floor is an office, which could equally serve as a fifth bedroom. Again, timber flooring continues throughout with windows on two walls for natural light. This room is great for anyone who works from home or needs a hobby or gym space, with the flexibility to be used as a guest room too.

The staircase rises from the hallway to a bright first floor landing where cream walls, a striped fitted carpet and natural light from the upper windows create a nice space between the bedrooms and shower room.

Bedroom one is a generous double room with soft neutral decor, fitted carpet and a large window overlooking the surrounding gardens. The sloping ceiling adds character without compromising usable floor space. Bedroom two is pretty much the same, continuing the same relaxed feel, with cream walls, fitted carpet and window framed by timber surrounds.

The third bedroom is very different. An inner passage within the room separates the door and the sleeping area with its own shower room, giving the room a suite-like feel. The bedroom itself is a double with neutral wall finishes and fitted carpet. The en-suite shower room is finished with light coloured wall tiles and includes a corner shower enclosure, toilet and vanity unit with storage. A Velux window brings additional daylight into the space.
The fourth bedroom on this level is another comfortable double room with fitted carpet, neutral decor and a timber framed window overlooking the garden.

The family shower room has cream coloured wall tiles with a darker contrasting decorative border through the centre. The room includes a large curved corner shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and toilet. Two Velux roof windows floods the room with natural light.

The garden grounds are every bit as impressive as the house itself, extending to around an acre and a half. Here extensive lawns weave between trees, shrubs and colourful flowering borders, creating a garden that feels like a private parkland setting. A timber summer house sits amongst the trees, providing a peaceful retreat while additional outbuildings include a timber shed and metal store. The single garage is of concrete construction with a pitched tiled roof and the generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles.

This beautiful home enjoys a quiet countryside setting on the Black Isle, surrounded by farmland, woodland and open views, yet Inverness remains just a short distance away, perfect for commuting, shopping and leisure. For buyers seeking a substantial family home with extensive grounds, peaceful woodland surroundings and a genuine sense of escape from busy everyday life, then Hollymount delivers everything you could need.
