Current House

The current property, which extends to circa 358sqm, consists of a charming traditional Highland-style one-and-a-half storey stone and slate cottage with dormers, married with a non-traditional extension. At present, the house is uninhabitable due to the need for significant restoration works. Some internal modifications have already been undertaken, but much work remains before the property can fully reclaim its grandeur. Nestled in a 2-acre garden, the cottage enjoys a beautifully tranquil setting. The garden is characterised by expansive lawned areas interspersed with a variety of broad-leaved trees, creating an inviting canopy of green. The garden, which is bordered by dry stone walls and post-and-wire fencing, is ripe for restoration and could potentially be reimagined into a remarkable horticultural showcase with some thoughtful landscaping and care. Beyond the garden, the remaining 7.5 acres of the property comprise a diverse mix of terrain, including grazing fields, rough grass and tracts of native woodland, further enhancing the rustic appeal of the property.

With the necessary planning consents, this expansive plot of land provides a unique opportunity to design and construct a bespoke home, a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that can take full advantage of the picturesque setting. Such a project, or restoration of the existing stone cottage, could potentially transform this property into a truly spectacular residential estate that blends traditional Highland charm with a unique contemporary flair.

Services
