Summary - CRAIGELLACHIE HOUSE, MAIN STREET, NEWTONMORE PH20 1DA
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large period house with separate hostel — great for family living or income potential.
Circa 1820 historic detached house with period character
Craigellachie House is a substantial, characterful L-shaped detached home dating to circa 1820, set on Main Street in Newtonmore within Cairngorms National Park. The main house offers flexible living across three floors with five bedrooms, three reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room; generous gardens, private parking and a garage complete the plot. A separate detached building currently operating as Newtonmore Hostel adds three bedrooms, open-plan living, multiple shower rooms and clear income or multi-use potential.
This property will suit buyers seeking a period family home with ancillary accommodation or an investor/holiday-let operator looking to expand income streams. Practical strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, off-street parking for multiple vehicles and easy access to local amenities, rail links and the A9. The garden is largely level with mature trees, a summer house and patio/dining space.
Buyers should note material considerations: the layout is traditional and partly historic in character, so alterations may be constrained and could require specialist work. Council tax is described as expensive and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale dynamics. The hostel building is in use but will require ongoing management if retained for holiday letting.
Overall, Craigellachie House offers a rare combination of period character, versatile accommodation and additional letting building in a well-connected Highland village. It’s particularly appealing to those who value space, adaptable use and immediate income opportunities, but prospective purchasers should budget for upkeep and factor local economic context into their plans.
