DESCRIPTION
This impressive detached Edwardian house stands in its own grounds extending to an acre or thereby and offers unrestricted northerly and southerly views over Loch Carron. Approached by a private tree lined driveway this property retains all of its original features but now requires some upgrading and modernization. The accommodation within comprises on the ground floor - entrance vestibule, reception hall, sitting room, drawing room, rear hall/storage area, dining room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom. The upper floor
has a spacious landing area with access off to 4 bedrooms (one with en-suite cloakroom) and the family bathroom. As you would expect from a house of this calibre the rooms are generally well proportioned with high ceilings and attractive cornicing. The doors are solid wood 4 panel style and the banisters are of the same solid wood. There are a number of original open fireplaces and the elevation of the house allows for superb loch and mountain views from most of the windows. To the side of the house is a detached building providing garage and storage space and the surrounding garden area is mature and very private.
