Karadene, Belivat, Nairn, IV12

Set in a peaceful rural location approximately eight miles south of Nairn, Karadene is an impressive six-bedroom detached family home with informal grounds extending to around two acres.

Karadene provides exceptionally spacious and well-planned accommodation designed for modern family living.

The property is entered from a gravel driveway with access ramp via a timber front door with glazed side panels into an entrance vestibule, which opens into a spacious hallway. The hallway incorporates a large walk-in storage cupboard suitable for coats and household items, while a cloakroom fitted with white WC and wash hand basin is also accessed from the hall. A rear porch, complete with a further large storage cupboard and a door to the garden, provides practical everyday access.

The generously proportioned lounge enjoys a higher-than-average ceiling creating an air of grandeur, along with a bay window overlooking the front of the property, and birch flooring. A fireplace with slate hearth houses a wood burning stove and creates a focal point to this lovely room.

To the rear of the property lies a dual aspect family room offering an excellent additional, less formal living space and features French doors opening directly onto the garden, with a woodburning  stove for added comfort on the colder days.

The stylish dining kitchen is designed with family life in mind and is fitted with contemporary white gloss units complemented by black worktops, wall tiling and floor tiling. Appliances include  a fridge freezer, dishwasher, 1 ½ stainless steel sink, double oven tower, ceramic hob, and extractor hood. The dining area provides ample space for a large table and chairs, and benefits from French doors leading to the garden.

Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a study/playroom, and a spacious utility room with direct access to the double integral garage which benefits from a vehicle maintenance pit.

An attractive open-tread oak staircase rises to the first-floor landing. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive in size, and features French doors opening onto a private balcony overlooking the tranquil grounds. The bedroom is further enhanced by a delightful walk-in dressing room and an en-suite shower room.

The upper floor also comprises five further generous bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for larger families, guest accommodation or home working.

A generous contemporary  family bathroom is located on this level and comprises  a white WC, a trough style wash hand basin, bidet, bath  and quadrant shower cubicle,  all finished with an attractive natural stone effect tiled floor.

Externally the property extends to approximately two acres of predominantly grassland along with  established trees at the bottom and side of the garden,  along with an area of fruit trees beside the large polytunnel,  providing significant outdoor space with scope for landscaping, hobby farming (a County  Parish Holding (CPH) number is held.)  or simply enjoying the peaceful rural setting. A quaint cabin in the grounds sits in an elevated position and comprises an open plan sitting room/kitchen, bedroom and shower room.

Karadene enjoys a tranquil countryside setting within easy reach of the seaside town of Nairn, renowned for its attractive beaches, sunny climate and excellent amenities. Nairn offers a wide range of shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, together with two championship golf courses.

The Highland capital of Inverness lies approximately 16 miles away, while Inverness Airport, offering regular flights to destinations throughout the UK and Europe, is just seven miles from the property.
