Barraden House, Arisaig, Inverness-Shire, PH39 4NJ

STRIKING, DETACHED PERIOD DWELLINGHOUSE

Enjoying a premium position, nestled in the desirable coastal village of Arisaig, with stunning views over Arisaig Bay and the sea towards the Isle of Eigg, Barraden House forms a striking, detached period dwellinghouse, set in private, generous garden grounds. Dating back to 1880, this former Free Church has been sympathetically refurbished and modernised throughout in recent years, creating a superb and impressive property, full of character and charm, and benefiting from double glazing and electric heating. In excellent order both internally and externally, the property offers deceptively spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two floors, is neutrally decorated and beautifully presented, providing a calm and comfortable home. The grounds further complement the property itself, and have been lovingly designed and maintained to provide a charming outside space. The ground floor dining lounge with open fire and French doors is a most attractive and welcoming space, whilst the impressive upper open-plan sitting room and dining area, is flooded with natural light, features limed oak flooring and boasts French doors on to the raised balcony, taking in the best of the beautiful views. With bedroom and bathroom facilities on both floors, this flexible property would be ideally suited as a fantastic permanent family home, as an idyllic holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity in a buoyant self-catering market.

Arisaig is a popular West Coast village, situated on the road between Fort William and Mallaig, "The Road to the Isles". With its coastal situation, it is an ideal location from which to explore this extremely attractive part of the Highlands and Inner Isles. The village itself has a bustling marina, hotel, restaurants, shop, post office, two churches, primary school, with further facilities available at Mallaig, including a secondary school, and Fort William - to which there is a link by both road and rail.
