DESCRIPTION
Situated within a fully enclosed garden area extending to ¼ acre or thereby the subjects for sale comprise a traditional, extended cottage in need of complete renovation. The original cottage dates back to circa. 1900’s and both a side extension and conservatory were added some time later. There are some UPVC double glazed windows fitted to the front and it appears that the property at one time had an oil central heating system although it is no longer in working use as the property has been uninhabited for some time. There is a lovely open outlook to the West across Loch Caroy to Harlosh point and MacLeod’s Tables and the conservatory extension to the side had undoubtedly been added to allow for full appreciation of these views. The accommodation currently comprises:- entrance vestibule, hallway, sitting room, bathroom, kitchen, conservatory and 2 double bedrooms. An open tread ladder style stair gives access from the sitting room to the attic accommodation which provides further two bedrooms.
Planning permission was granted July 2007 for alterations to be made together with an extension to the existing building. Plans have been drawn up to convert the property to a 1 ½ storey ‘Dualchas’ style property a copy of these can be made available to interested parties.
