Dulnain Bridge, Grantown-on-Spey

Dulnain Bridge is a small Highland village located within the spectacular scenery of the Cairngorm National Park.  Centred around the River Dulnain, a major tributary of the River Spey, the village takes its name from the 18thcentury, single arched bridge that carries the road through it.  Local facilities include a post office and garage and there is one hotel in the locality. There is a community village hall which hosts regular events. The popular Speyside Heather Centre and Clootie Dumpling Cafe is also within 2 miles. 

The surrounding countryside is a haven for wildlife, with roe deer, badgers, and squirrels amongst some of the abundant inhabitants.  There is a wealth of excellent rural sporting facilities, such as stalking and grouse shooting, along with trout and salmon fishing.  There are also many outdoor pursuits available within the National Park, such as hill walking, climbing, mountain biking, wind surfing, ski-ing and snowboarding.  There are also a number of renowned golf courses in the area - including the championship Spey Valley course in Aviemore - all within stunning countryside settings.

Grantown on Spey (4 miles) & Aviemore (8 miles) offer further amenities with shops, hotels, restaurants, bars, swimming pool, gym, and supermarkets. The local primary and secondary school is located in Grantown-on-Spey and the bus service runs nearby. The local railway and bus station in Aviemore provides direct access to Inverness, Perth & London.

Balnacrive House is a charming, traditional, stone built house in the centre of the village, overlooking the river Dulnain. This semi-detached villa has an abundance of character while also benefiting from generous sized garden grounds. The property boasts six bedrooms, four with en-suite shower rooms, kitchen, dining room, utility area, family bathroom, glazed sunroom, and a lovely double aspect lounge overlooking the river. Other benefits include partial UPVC double glazing, eco-friendly Biomass central heating and a wood burning stove. This traditional, period property which is in great condition also retains a lot of its original features, including the decorative entrance door, ceiling coving, and high skirtings.

The property has recently been used as bed and breakfast but would make an ideal family home or alternately used as a buy to let investment.
