The Old Post Office Daviot, Inverness, IV2 5XQ

A rare opportunity to purchase a striking, architect-designed new home in a peaceful rural setting just 6 miles south of Inverness. The Old Post Office has been designed around its outlook, with upside-down living that places the main living space on the first floor so you can make the most of the views over the surrounding countryside. The first floor is given over to a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living room, of over 12 metres in length, with sliding glass doors at each end opening onto front and rear balconies - perfect for morning coffee or evenings watching the sun go down. A roof light over the stairwell brings in even more natural light and there is a handy WC. On the ground floor are three double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has its own ensuite shower room and sliding doors out to the garden. There is also a family bathroom, a utility room and plenty of storage cupboards throughout. The house is finished in natural larch and dark vertical cladding with smooth white render and vertical timber louvres, giving it a smart, contemporary feel. There is a covered canopy entrance and off-road parking.
