Oakbank, Glenfinnan, Inverness-Shire, PH37 4LT

DESIRABLE DETACHED PROPERTY & CHARMING DETACHED COTTAGE

Peacefully located in the historic village of Glenfinnan, amidst spectacular Highland scenery, Oakbank offers a very unique opportunity to purchase a most impressive detached property, plus separate detached cottage, set in generous private garden grounds, with additional building plot. Within walking distance of beautiful Loch Shiel and the surrounding countryside, the property is in excellent order both internally and externally, and benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating. This deceptively spacious property offers superb accommodation, conveniently arranged over two levels, and provides a fantastic family home, including an excellent business and lifestyle opportunity to run the cottage as a self-catering prospect in an extremely buoyant market. Boasting mountain vistas, the large lounge with striking fireplace, and separate dining room, are most attractive formal spaces, both enjoying dual-aspect views and featuring hard wood flooring. A well fitted kitchen, utility room, five good sized bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and attic area form the remainder of accommodation. Due to the size and location, the sale would also offer an idyllic holiday retreat for the successful purchaser.

Glenfinnan is situated approximately 16 miles west of Fort William at the head of Loch Shiel. It was at Glenfinnan, that Bonnie Prince Charlie raised the Standard in 1745, and in later years, it is perhaps more famous for its viaduct, and setting of the school, as featured in the Harry Potter movies. The village itself has a church, hotels, restaurant, the Glenfinnan Coffee Company and the National Trust for Scotland Glenfinnan Monument Centre, whilst offering many outdoor activities including walking, climbing and sailing.
