Annieshill is a spacious five-bedroom villa set on an elevated plot with commanding views across the Beauly Firth — a well-suited home for families or multi-generational living. The principal living space is a dramatic open-plan kitchen/diner/family room with vaulted glazing that frames the rural outlook. A generous lounge with a multifuel stove opens to a covered patio, creating easy indoor-outdoor flow for family gatherings and entertaining. The ground floor includes a double bedroom, shower room and utility, while the first floor offers three further bedrooms and a principal bedroom with en-suite. A self-contained one-bedroom annex with its own entrance provides flexible use as guest accommodation or rental income potential.
The grounds are extensive and private, mainly laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, plus a timber garage with power, lighting and a rear workshop — practical for hobbies or storage. The house benefits from double glazing and underfloor heating to the ground floor, helping comfort in the colder months. Fixtures and fittings listed are included in the sale, and there is a floored loft space in the annex that could serve as an office or additional storage.
Practical considerations are clear: broadband speeds are very slow in this remoter community, which may affect home working or streaming. The property uses oil central heating; servicing and fuel costs should be factored into running budgets. Council tax is currently above average (Band E) and the EPC is D. The location offers rural tranquillity about a mile from Beauly village yet remains within commuting distance of Inverness.
Overall, Annieshill offers generous, light-filled family accommodation, a useful self-contained annex and substantial private gardens. It will particularly appeal to buyers seeking space, scenic views and flexible living, but those reliant on fast broadband or seeking lower ongoing energy costs should weigh those practical drawbacks.
