Tulloch Lodge is an imposing late‑19th century stone country home set in about 1.2 acres with direct River Spean views. The main house offers generous, characterful living spaces — a grand hallway, lounge, sitting room, orangery and a handcrafted kitchen — arranged over three floors, plus attic rooms. Period detail such as oak panelling, Victorian‑style tiles and a lantern‑roof orangery combine with modern bathrooms and double glazing to create a comfortable family home with strong entertaining spaces.
A self‑contained lower‑ground apartment (‘The Retreat’) with lounge, kitchen/diner and two en‑suite bedrooms adds significant versatility: continued use as a holiday let, guest accommodation, or multi‑generational living is straightforward. Practical features include oil‑fired central heating (supplemented by electric heating), a diesel generator in the rear lean‑to, plentiful off‑street parking and a sweeping gravel driveway.
The property’s setting is a major asset — private, semi‑rural and scenically dramatic, with wildlife and river views. That remoteness also brings trade‑offs: broadband speeds are very slow, local services are limited, and the house sits in a remoter, sparsely populated community. The EPC is F (38), reflecting lower energy efficiency typical of older stone buildings; owners should expect higher heating costs and potential scope for energy improvements.
Overall this is a rare, flexible country lodge that will particularly suit buyers seeking substantial, characterful family accommodation with holiday‑let or ancillary income potential, or those wanting a private riverside Highland base. The house is presented well but, given its age and location, buyers should budget for ongoing running costs and consider energy‑improvement works.
