This north farmhouse has bags of potential.
It requires some tender loving care in order to upgrade it, but in return there’s been £20,000 knocked off the home report valuation, a saving which would go a long way to helping someone create a dream country cottage.
The Farmhouse on Balintombuie Deer Farm, is a traditional home of great character situated at the west end of the village of Dalchreichart, a popular village lying in spectacular Highland scenery some eight miles from Invermoriston, 15 miles from Fort Augustus, and 35 miles from Inverness.
The detached two-storey house stands in a large garden extending to around half an acre, and would make ideal family accommodation, lying in the catchment areas of Kilchuimen primary school and Kilchuimen Academy in Fort Augustus.
The ground floor accommodation includes a spacious dining room, kitchen and sitting room which has sliding patio doors and an open fireplace. A covered passageway connects the kitchen to the office and utility room.
There’s also a double bedroom and the family bathroom on this floor.
Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a washroom with WC and wash-hand basin.
Outside there are several useful out-buildings, a four-berth static caravan, woodland and large front and rear gardens.
James Carnegy, handling the sale on behalf of CKD Galbraith, said: “This is a lovely family house surrounded by glorious Highland scenery. Loch Ness is a short distance away so it is also ideally situated for anyone thinking of setting up a bed and breakfast.
“Whilst the kitchen was refitted eight years ago, the house would benefit greatly from being updated, the majority of the work needed is of an atheistic nature and this presents new owners with the opportunity to renovate the property to their own style and taste.
“The thriving regional centre of Inverness can be reached in about an hour by car. There are good local shops and amenities in the nearby towns of Invermoriston and Fort Augustus as well as a multitude of sport and leisure activities such as hill walking, climbing, fishing, water sports and skiing.”
The Farmhouse is on the market at offers over £170,000, with a Home Report value of £190,000. Contact CKD Galbraith on 0131 240 6960.
