Built around 1890, this four-bedroom stone villa sits within approximately 3.55 acres and enjoys uninterrupted views towards Loch Bunachton. The house combines period character—stone frontage, sash-style double glazing and wood-burning stoves—with modern conveniences: an updated kitchen, bathrooms and replacement windows. A ground-floor double bedroom and bathroom give practical single-storey living. A substantial former steading (≈406 m²) and extensive grazing ground create genuine smallholding potential.
The grounds include a privately planted woodland managed for amenity and fuel, adding shelter, biodiversity and long-term value. Previous planning permission was granted for an extension to the main house, offering scope to increase living space (any future works require current consents). The steading and land suit owners wanting outbuildings, workshops or conversion potential (subject to planning).
Buyers should note a few important practicalities: heating is by oil-fired central heating with an external Grant Vortex boiler; water is from a private high-pressure supply and drainage is by a private septic tank. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is excellent. The property has been cared for but requires ongoing maintenance and periodic upkeep of outbuildings and land. EPC band E and council tax band E reflect running-cost considerations.
This is a rare rural opportunity close to Inverness (about 7–8 miles), appealing to families, smallholders or buyers seeking a character home with land and development potential. The sale has a closing date (Monday 1st September, 12 noon). Viewings are recommended for those prioritising privacy, outdoor space and scenic Highland outlooks.
