Riverside House, Spean Bridge, PH34 4EU

IMPRESSIVE DTACHED VILLA SET IN GENEROUS PRIVATE GROUNDS OF AROUND 2.4 ACRES

Boasting a truly exceptional river-front position, and enjoying spectacular views over the River Spean to the surrounding mountains and countryside beyond, the sale of Riverside House forms an impressive detached villa, nestled in private mature grounds of around 2.4 acres. This idyllic location, on the edge of Spean Bridge village, is further complemented by the property itself, which commands an elevated position, is in immaculate order and benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating. Offering deceptively spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two levels, the property would be ideally suited as a superb family home, a wonderful holiday home, or an investment opportunity in buoyant self-catering or longer term rental market. The dual-aspect lounge with adjoining bright sun room, and generous dining kitchen with classically styled units and solid wooden work surfaces, are most attractive features and provide very flexible living spaces for the successful buyer. An added benefit of the sale are the spacious, well-maintained garden grounds which surround the property to all sides and provide ample private parking, a detached summer house, four garden sheds, a natural garden pond and river frontage with Riparian Fishing Rights. Some contents may be available at separate negotiation.
