Jasmeldar is a detached home, providing four bedrooms and a wealth of stylishly appointed living and entertaining space. Set in a desirable residential area approximately a mile from Forres town centre, the property backs onto woodland for a private outlook and a secluded feel.<br/><br/>At the entrance to the property, the stained-glass double doors open to a welcoming porch, which in turn leads to the reception hall with its central staircase, corniced ceiling and warm timber internal doors and joinery. The main ground-floor reception room is the play room, which has a bar, a logburner and a dual aspect including a bay window and French doors, both of which welcome plenty of natural light. There is also a formal dining room, again featuring a bay window and French doors to the gardens at the side, while towards the rear there is a useful home study. Adjoining the dining room via sliding double doors is the well-appointed kitchen, which has <br/><br/>modern fitted units, a central island with a breakfast bar and integrated appliances, including dual ovens, a microwave, a coffee machine and a gas hob. The utility room offers further space for home storage and appliances.<br/><br/>There is one double bedroom on the ground level. With its en suite shower room and built-in storage, it is ideal for use as a guest bedroom. Stairs lead to the spacious first-floor landing, which provides access to a further three double bedrooms of similar proportions. Two of the bedrooms are en suite, while all three benefit from built-in storage (one with its own dressing room). The first floor also has a bathroom, while the landing leads to a south-facing balcony, as well as a comfortable and well-proportioned sitting room.<br/><br/>At the front of the property, wrought-iron gates open onto the block-paved driveway, which offers a spacious parking area for several vehicles, as well as access to the integrated double garage towards the rear. There is a small area of lawn at the front of the property, while the main gardens are situated at the rear and include a large area of patio for al fresco dining, with lawns beyond, all bordered by mature trees for a sense of privacy. A timber-framed shed provides ample garden storage, while at the side of the house, a further patio and area of gravel terracing offers additional outside dining space.<br/><br/>The historic town of Forres—the site of Duncan’s castle in Shakespeare’s Macbeth—offers a wide range of day-to-day amenities, including independent and High Street shops, restaurants, pubs and the well-known Benromach Distillery. The surrounding area provides excellent outdoor and leisure facilities, with extensive walking and cycling routes, a golf course <br/><br/>and various sporting clubs, while nearby Nairn Golf Club and Castle Stuart offer championship courses.<br/><br/>More extensive shopping and leisure amenities are available in Inverness, and transport links are excellent via the A96, Forres station (with services to Inverness and onward connections, including a sleeper to London).<br/><br/>Inverness Airport is approximately 20 miles away and offers a number of both domestic and European flights.
