4 bedroom detached house for sale

The Old Church is a former church which has recently been converted to create a substantial family home with accommodation over three levels. The property is of traditional construction under a pitched slate roof, with a key feature being the proportion of the rooms. A number of the original features have been retained.

The house is entered via a vestibule which leads to a spacious hall and open plan dining room and kitchen. Three bedrooms are off the hall, two of which are well positioned for the views. One bedroom has an ensuite shower room. A cloakroom and shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.

A stair leads to a very spacious landing area, part of which is used as a games area. A family bath and shower room is accessed off the landing. A stair leads to a sitting room which is a key feature of the house and has a stove and fantastic views of the loch.

A spacious landing and study area on the third floor leads to the master bedroom suite which has an ensuite shower room and dressing.

There is a second stair providing access to the three levels.

The layout of the house means that the house has excellent potential for a B&B business.

The grounds are enclosed by a stone wall and surround the property. A decked area to the rear is well positioned for the evening sun and there is a lawned front garden. Off-road parking is to the side.

Outbuildings include an attached double garage and a gas shed.
