Three Bedroom Steading Conversion With Modern Innovations, Surrounded By Open Countryside

This stone built steading sits among open fields and rolling countryside, with just four homes sharing the converted development. The aesthetic of the original building remains clearly visible, while mature trees, farmland and distant hills create a setting that feels remote and peaceful, despite Keith being only a short drive away.

Inside, the living room immediately feels like the social hub of the house. Two large windows sit side by side drawing light across the room and highlighting the wooden flooring underfoot. Light cream walls keep the space neutral, while a mountain mural creates a focal point at the far end of the room. The room is a really good size, comfortably able to accommodate your sofas and furniture without feeling crowded.

The kitchen is arranged around an L-shaped run of white cabinets with marble effect worktops and matching splashbacks. Integrated double ovens are built in at eye level with an electric induction hob set into the counter. There’s space for a dining table and chairs alongside while an external door and window provides daylight access to the grounds. The room is finished in soft pale blue tones with ceiling spotlights and under counter lighting.

The bathroom benefits from a separate shower enclosure alongside the bath, giving you the choice of a quick morning shower or a longer soak at the end of the day. Dark wall panelling inside the shower contrasts nicely against the lighter blue painted walls elsewhere, while stylish hexagonal tiling behind the basin adds another eye catching layer.

The first of the ground floor bedrooms is one of those rooms that feels cheerful the moment you step inside. Rich yellow walls bring warmth throughout the day, while a feature wall covered with oversized tropical leaves, flowers and butterflies in vibrant shades of pink, orange and green really catches the eye. Two deep set windows ensure the room stays bright with mirror fronted sliding wardrobes stretch across one wall, providing excellent storage space.

The second ground floor bedroom has a completely different personality. Two wide windows draw light into the room, a built in wall of wardrobes reflect the light back, while timber panelling on one wall adds warmth against the other white painted walls. Currently used as a home gym, it’s size makes it perfect as a double bedroom giving you the flexibility to adapt it to how you see fit.

The upper attic floor is devoted to a large bedroom, creating a sense of separation from the rest of the home. The ceiling follows the shape of the roof, while a turquoise feature wall brings colour into the space. Two large Velux windows frame the sky above and fills the room with natural light. It feels private, peaceful and removed from the activity of the rooms below. Also on the upper floor is a walk-in storage cupboard, ideal for keeping seasonal items and other household appliances neatly tucked away.

The property was created from the conversion of an older steading approximately 30 years ago. Modern uPVC composite double glazed windows are installed throughout, together with uPVC composite external doors. Heating and hot water are supplied by an air source heat pump, while roof mounted solar panels generate electricity which is connected to a battery storage system housed within the study/storage room. Outside, a small garden area sits beside the kitchen side gable. The garden is laid with grass and includes a metal garden shed on a concrete base.

Unique properties like this, redeveloped from a small steading in beautiful countryside surroundings with renewable energy systems and three good size double bedrooms, are incredibly hard to find. For buyers looking for a home in a quiet and peaceful setting within easy reach of Keith and the A95, then this is a property you need to see.
