A Highland house you’ll fall hook, line and sinker for, writes Susan Welsh
If you love fishing then cast your eyes over this stylish house at Rosehall, Near Lairg
It sits on the banks of the River Oykel and it, along with the nearby River Cassley, provides good sport with a variety of exciting beats for the keen fisherman.
It’s an ideal home for fans of country sports as the local estates offer world class red deer stalking, while there are several Munros within easy reach.
The west coast, with all its dramatic scenery and outdoor opportunities, is within an hour’s drive.
The stunning, single-storey house started off life as a crofthouse, but following modifications and extensions, it is now a beautiful, detached three-bedroom bungalow which sits in generous grounds.
It has uPVC double-glazed windows throughout and underfloor heating with a mixture of Caithness stone and slate floor tiles used throughout.
Some original features have also been kept which give this cottage character, while a large, stylish, L-shaped sun lounge features floor-to-ceiling windows and a vaulted ceiling.
This is a lovely warm place to relax and enjoy the views across the river, after a long day on the hills.
From here, folding doors open to a small patio.
The kitchen features bespoke oak floor and wall units with a polished Caithness stone work surface, while a Belfast sink complements the design.
There’s ample space for a dining table while a lovely exposed stone wall makes a great backdrop for the multi-fuel stove. The large Rangemaster electric cooker, new dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer are all included in the sale.
The master bedroom lies to the rear of the sun lounge and has its own walk-in dressing room. There is an en-suite off it with a large shower.
There are a further two bedrooms and enough storage space in the house and three exterior buildings to hang hiking boots and fishing rods, or store all your outdoor equipment.
Inverness-based property experts Bell Ingram are marketing the property at offers over £250,000.
Property manager Joanne Stennet said: “Whether you enjoy wading through rivers and catching fresh fish or want to bag a Munro among some of Scotland’s finest views, Tuiteam has it all.
“With an unrivalled location boasting views across the banks of the River Oykel, this home is perfect for couples or growing families looking for a base to explore what nature has to offer.
“But if fishing isn’t your cup of tea, you can still enjoy the peaceful charm of the local wildlife or endless walks in the countryside.
“The town of Lairg is also just eight miles away, providing excellent facilities with Achness Hotel and a primary school fulfilling most family needs.
“The property is set on more than 1.5 acres of gardens with three work sheds, providing plenty of space for sports equipment or family storage.
“For those who want to immerse themselves in nature, Tuiteam is the perfect retreat.
“Properties of this standard with such great outdoor sports right on its doorstep don’t come along very often so anyone interested should grab this opportunity now.”
