1 Arkavie Cottage, Muirshearlich, Banavie, Fort William, PH33 7PB

IMPRESSIVE SEMI-DETACHED COTTAGE WITH OUTSTANDING VIEWS TO BEN NEVIS

Situated on a prime site, with stunning panoramic views towards Ben Nevis and the surrounding countryside, the sale of 1 Arkavie Cottage offers an exciting opportunity to purchase an impressive semi-detached cottage, set in generous grounds near the famous Caledonian Canal. Taking full advantage of its rarely available position, this extended cottage is in excellent order, well presented and boasts two fantastic living areas with expansive windows, facing the breath-taking Nevis range of mountains. Benefiting from double glazing and LPG fired central heating, the property enjoys deceptively spacious accommodation, conveniently arranged over two floors, and boasts many features including exposed stone walls, formal lounge with multi-fuel stove and French doors, quality fitted kitchen, striking garden room with ceramic tiled flooring and French doors, flooded with natural light and modern shower rooms to name but a few. The charming, well-stocked mature garden fully complements the property, with private off-street parking to the front. Due to the size and location, the cottage would be ideally suited as a permanent family home as currently used, as an idyllic holiday home or as an exciting investment opportunity in a very buoyant, self-catering or rental market. Please note there is a right of Pre-Emption over the sale.

Situated in the small crofting community of Muirshearlich on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, within the heart of spectacular Highland scenery, the property enjoys the feeling of a rural location, yet is situated just 5 miles from Fort William town centre. This idyllic location nestled on the banks of the Caledonian Canal, featuring the famous Neptune's Staircase locks and a towpath running from Fort William to Gairlochy near Spean Bridge, means that it is well placed to take advantage of the amenities and numerous leisure and pleasure activities which the area has to offer. With Fort William being the 'Outdoor Capital of the UK', the area benefits from year round visitors enjoying excellent outdoor pursuits such as walking, mountain biking, mountaineering, skiing, sailing, fishing, golf and sight-seeing to name a few. Meanwhile the nearby villages of Corpach and Caol offer shops, hotels, bars, with several primary schools and Lochaber High School in close proximity, with further amenities available in Fort William itself.
