The property
This light-filled home sits in an elevated position and offers attractive, flexible accommodation of over 1,800 sq. ft. The property enjoys a desirable rural location within easy reach of a wide range of local amenities and outdoor pursuits.

Built in 1985, the property has been tastefully upgraded and refurbished throughout. The porch opens to an airy central entrance hall that branches off onto the accommodation, starting with the peaceful study and to the 18 ft. sitting room with its charming feature fireplace and log-burning stove. An archway opens onto the bright sunroom with sliding glazed doors to the terrace, with all three rooms enjoying striking framed views. Further is the multi-aspect kitchen and dining area, with a wide range of wooden base cabinetry and shelving, worksurfaces and ample space for appliances, alongside which is a built-in sliding door pantry cupboard, a cloakroom and a useful utility room opening to the garden.
The hall flows further onto a trio of well-proportioned and tranquil bedrooms, two of which benefit from sea views and integrated wardrobes. The expansive 18 ft. principal also enjoys the use of a sleek, modern en suite shower room, whilst the two further bedrooms are well served by the attractive family bathroom. There is also a workshop and plenty of storage.

Outside
The house sits in a plot of approx. 1.2 acres and is approached via a metal gate opening onto a sweeping shrub-lined gravelled driveway leading to a large forecourt beside the home. The front aspect enjoys spectacular panoramic views over Gruinard Bay to the Assynt Hills and beyond. The views can be enjoyed via a pretty seating area among meandering low stone walls interspersed with verdant ferns and colourful planting, ahead of which is a lush curved lawn, formal front garden and a paved side terrace. Tall trees surround the plot, with the rear garden home to a handy attached workshop and two timber sheds, along with additional lawn and gardens extending into abundant woodland and a gravelled rear terrace with a partial sea view.
