The Manse, Auld Petty, Dalcross, near Inverness

Published: 30/06/2009

IF YOU are in the market for a home in a rather special setting, this former manse should fit the bill nicely.

To the front is Castle Stuart, a 17th-century tower house; to the rear is Scotland’s newest golf course, Castle Stuart Golf Links, which is scheduled to open on July 13, and to the side is Auld Petty church.

Although it sits in a delightful rural location, it is within good commuting distance of both Inverness and Nairn, and is just a few miles from Dalcross Airport.

The Georgian manse is a B-listed building full of charm and character with many original features, including open fires and a butler’s pantry, but it also has plenty of modern conveniences, such as a custom-built Ashley Ann kitchen.

The ground-floor accommodation comprises vestibule, hall, drawing room, pantry, sitting room, study, dining-room, larder/wine store, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, boot room, storeroom and shower-room.

The first floor has a cloakroom, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two further bedrooms, family bathroom, WC and linen cupboard.

There are a further two bedrooms and a walk-in store cupboard on the second floor.

Outside, there are mature grounds extending to about 1.21 acres, a greenhouse, a single garage and various outbuildings included in the asking price.

Selling agent SouthForrest is inviting offers around £475,000. For further details, call 01463 237171.
