This spacious four-bedroom detached home in Dyke offers contemporary family living with strong sustainability credentials. Built by Excel Scotland, the property combines bright open-plan living with countryside views, a large private rear garden, and a double garage with EV charging — ideal for families who want comfort and practical storage.
The ground floor centres on a generous open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area with integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and a wood-burning stove. A separate lounge with garden access, ground-floor bedroom, shower room and utility add flexibility for multi-generational living or home working. Upstairs are four double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, including a principal suite with en-suite and Jack-and-Jill sinks, plus a family bathroom.
Energy-efficient systems are a standout: an air-source heat pump with underfloor heating, 13 solar panels with a 9kWh battery and optimisers, a 4.5kW inverter, low-energy lighting and transferable RHI payments. These reduce running costs and appeal to buyers prioritising low-carbon living.
Practical benefits include off-street parking for up to six vehicles, additional space for a caravan or motorhome, gated rear access, greenhouse and loft storage in the double garage. The house sits on a peaceful cul-de-sac within walking distance of Dyke Primary School, Brodie Castle and local trails, while Forres and Findhorn are a short drive away for shops, leisure and coast.
Notable drawbacks are limited mobile coverage in parts of the area and the listing notes the wider locality is in a very deprived district, which may affect services and resale in some markets. Overall, this is a well-presented, low-maintenance family home suited to buyers seeking modern, energy-efficient rural living with generous outdoor and parking space.
