Easter Tulloch Cottage, Nethy Bridge, Inverness-Shire, PH25

Easter Tulloch Cottage is in the scattered hamlet of Tulloch close to Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms National Park. The property is in a beautiful, secluded setting with stunning, elevated views over the surrounding landscape to Rothiemurchas and Cairngorm mountain. Although within easy reach of all the best of the Park facilities, the cottage is in the midst of peaceful and unspoilt countryside, creating a sense of seclusion and calm, and providing a habitat for native wildlife. In addition, there is a wide variety of walks direct from the house on tracks and hill paths.
Nethy Bridge is situated in the heart of Strathspey in the Cairngorms National Park and has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times. The village has an excellent range of shops and amenities, a primary school, golf course and a wide network of way-marked forest walks. Rothiemurchus and the Cairngorms Ski Centre are nearby and offer activities in the surrounding countryside and on the mountain ranges throughout the year including cycling, skiing, water sports, and fishing. The world-famous River Spey is close by, while Abernethy and Insh Marshes RSPB reserves provide a habitat for many protected and rare species of birds and wildlife.
The nearby towns of Grantown-on-Spey and Aviemore offer more extensive services, including secondary schooling, supermarkets, banks, swimming pools, independent retailers and restaurants. A mainline railway station and intercity bus routes are both available from Aviemore. Inverness is less than one hour’s drive to the north and provides all the services of a major city including its airport with regular links to the south and Europe.

Formerly a derelict farm cottage, in 2012 the property was converted into a beautiful contemporary house, externally echoing a traditional, U-shaped, stone and slate steading with courtyard. The interior has been completed to the highest standard with top quality fittings and finishes, while the understated use of colour complements the dramatic setting, and the extensive use of glass takes advantage of the stunning views as well as maximising solar gain. Running costs will be minimal with underfloor heating, excellent levels of insulation, double glazing and solar panels.
Adjacent to the cottage and accessed by a small, covered yard, is an annexe comprising two storey, one bedroom accommodation and an adjacent storeroom with sauna.
