Silverstripe Shines Bright in Forglen!

Lee-Ann from Low and Partners is excited to announce Silverstripe, located in the highly sought-after area of Forglen, Turriff. This immaculate three-bedroom detached house is a rare find—beautifully presented and lovingly cared for by its current owners, who have crafted a lifestyle-rich property that will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Set within an impressive 5.5 acres of pristine, fully fenced and gated grounds, Silverstripe has served as a successful, high-rated B&B where guests are regularly treated to homemade jams, jellies, and a charming breakfast experience that leaves a lasting impression. However, beyond its hospitality charm, this home is equally suited for anyone seeking peace, space, and the potential to embrace country living in all its forms. Whether you’re looking to keep animals, grow your own produce, or simply savour the finer things in life, this property truly has it all.

On entering through the warm and welcoming hallway, oak flooring leads the way to each part of the accommodation. A wooden balustrade staircase ascends to the upper level, adding to the traditional yet stylish aesthetic.

The main lounge enjoys an outlook over the stunning garden, with a wood burner stove and elegant wall and ceiling lighting enhancing its cosy appeal. A doorway leads down to both the sunroom and the tucked-away study.

The study features an exposed stone wall, soft carpet flooring, lighting, and a radiator, with space for shelving and furniture—ideal as a reading nook or quiet workspace.

The sunroom is bathed in natural light through French doors and surrounding windows, and continues the rustic charm with its stone walls and floor. From here, access flows directly into the downstairs bedroom, currently used for B&B guests, boasting a wood-burning stove, whitewashed stone walls, stone flooring, and views of the back garden.

The family bathroom is a showpiece of elegant vintage style. With fully tiled walls and flooring, it includes a freestanding bath, Victoria-style wash hand basin, a beautiful mirror centrepiece, and a classic Victorian toilet. A garden-facing window and heated radiator complete the room.

The kitchen/dining area offers country styling at its finest, featuring oak cabinetry with marble worktops, a Britannia range cooker, extractor hood, Belfast sink, fridge, and dual aspect windows. A lovely window seat adds charm while a stone flag floor brings texture and durability. There’s ample room for freestanding furniture, making this a perfect hub for cooking and entertaining.

A conservatory opens off the kitchen with freshly painted windows and stoned tile flooring. It includes a ceiling fan, patio doors to the garden, and underfloor heating to keep it cosy year-round.

To the rear of the property, a tiled back entrance includes cabinetry with a worktop, skylight, and access to the attic space via a hatch. There’s ample potential above, with flooring already in place.

The utility room is practical and well-equipped, featuring retained white goods, cabinetry, and a side-facing window.

Upstairs, bedroom two features both a bay window and velux window with lovely dual aspect views. Carpeted throughout, it includes wall lighting, a radiator, and fitted cupboards.

The upper landing is spacious and bright with a large velux, carpet flooring, and extra space, ideal for freestanding furnishings. There is also a walk-in cupboard offering generous storage space, perfect for linens, supplies, or seasonal clothing. A separate shower room is also located upstairs, adding further convenience for family or guests.

Bedroom three also has dual aspect views through a bay and velux window, along with a carpeted floor, radiator, wall lighting, and a cupboard housing the water tank for the heat pump.

Externally, Silverstripe’s steading is exceptionally versatile. The L-shaped structure includes a double garage with electric doors, smart meter, new consumer unit, and electric car charger. There is a dry room with mezzanine storage above, a corner byre with water and power supply, a wood store and tool shed—all complete with power and light.

The grounds themselves are something truly special. Carefully landscaped and maintained like a private parkland, there are two elegant pergola seating areas, stunning open views, and even a set of handcrafted stairs leading down to the stream where the property’s boundary rests. A greenhouse and shed remain, along with a fruitful vegetable and orchard plot featuring cherry, apple, pear, plum trees, raspberry and currant bushes, strawberry plants, and various greenhouse-grown produce.

With over 100 trees planted throughout—including oak, pine, birch, alder, lime, ash, willow and two Rowan trees—this property is rich in nature and serenity. Whether continuing its B&B legacy or settling in for rural luxury living, Silverstripe offers a truly remarkable opportunity that won’t be on the market for long.
