A neat lawn and stone pathway guide you to the front door, where upon entry, the warmth of natural materials welcomes you. The hallway is rich in rustic character, featuring wooden-lined walls and flooring, creating a natural and homely atmosphere. A long, slim radiator runs the length of the space, ensuring warmth as you move through the home.

To the left, the inviting living room offers a cosy retreat. A striking feature wall houses the impressive multi-fuel stove, providing a beautiful focal point and plenty of warmth throughout the colder months. Soft cream walls and plush neutral carpeting enhance the comfort of the space, while a large front window perfectly frames the stunning scenery beyond.

An archway leads into the dining room, a well-proportioned area that can comfortably accommodate a family dining table. The cream walls are complemented by a wooden-panelled feature wall, adding character and warmth. A square window to the rear offers a peaceful outlook, while direct access to the kitchen makes for an effortless flow between spaces.

The kitchen is a bright and practical space, fitted with classic cream cabinets accented by dark wooden handles. Wood-effect laminate worktops continue the theme of the house and provide a generous workspace, while a stainless steel sink sits beneath a light-filled window, offering a pleasant view of the garden and ensuring a bright, airy atmosphere in the kitchen. Soft mint-green walls keep a fresh feel while small cream, light green and blue tiles serve as splashbacks in the preparation areas. There is ample space for a freestanding cooker and dishwasher, as well as a built-in storage cupboard for added convenience.

Leading off the kitchen, the utility room continues the home’s functional design. Decorated with soft green leaf-patterned wallpaper, it offers additional counter space and plumbing for laundry appliances such as a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door from here provides easy access to the garden.

Further down the hallway, the home’s three well-appointed bedrooms provide comfort and flexibility. The first bedroom, finished in light cream, is a versatile space, currently arranged with two single beds and additional furniture, but easily adaptable to a double layout. A built-in wardrobe with wooden doors offers excellent storage.

The second bedroom is a notably spacious double, effortlessly accommodating a king-sized bed with room for further furnishings. Neutral cream walls create a relaxing ambiance, while the window offers views out to Loch Ness, an exceptional feature to wake up to each morning. A built-in wardrobe ensures plenty of storage.

The third bedroom is another generous double, painted in a soft blue shade which adds a calming touch. Like the first, it is currently arranged with two single beds but offers excellent potential for various configurations. A built-in storage cupboard provides additional practicality.

The home benefits from a separate cloakroom with a toilet and sink, offering an extra level of convenience for guests. Meanwhile, the main bathroom features a bath with a shower over it, protected by a sleek shower screen. Neutral wet-wall panelling surrounds the bath and sink, creating a modern yet low-maintenance finish, while a chrome towel radiator ensures warmth and keeps towels dry.

The property sits within an expansive and well-maintained garden, offering a blend of mature trees, shrubs and carefully landscaped areas. A large lawn provides plenty of space for children to play or for relaxing in the warmer months, while the substantial timber summerhouse offers a tranquil retreat that could be used as a hobby space, home office or simply a peaceful outdoor lounge. Two additional timber sheds provide excellent storage for tools or outdoor equipment.
