Rowanlea is a recently refurbished three-bedroom detached cottage in the heart of Kingussie, positioned on a generous corner plot within the Cairngorms National Park. The house combines traditional character — a slate roof, dry-stone dyke and shuttered windows — with modern comforts including new electric heating (app-controlled), a fitted kitchen/diner and a wood-burning stove in the living room.
Ground-floor living is practical and bright: a sun porch leads to a central hallway, a spacious kitchen/diner with walk-in pantry and access to a raised front deck, plus a generously proportioned living room. There is a single, fully tiled family bathroom with an electric shower over the bath. Upstairs are three bedrooms; the main bedroom adjoins a small room that could be used as an office, dressing room or converted into an en-suite. A full-length floored attic with lighting provides substantial additional storage.
The well-kept garden features lawn, rockery planting and a raised decking area with privacy awning, suited to outdoor entertaining and simple gardening. On-street parking is available nearby and there is potential to add a driveway into the garden, subject to local permissions. Mobile signal is excellent; broadband speeds are described as average.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold and newly renovated, but it has only one bathroom and no existing off-street parking. The local area is classified as rural employment and retirees with local primary sector workers; wider data notes higher levels of deprivation locally. These factors — plus planning checks required for any driveway or en-suite conversion — should be factored into any purchase decision.
