Gardens

The original house dates back to the 1880's but was extended in the 1970's, and the extensive grounds surround the property and measure approximately 1.65 acres. They have a very private feel to them, lots of wildlife can be seen, and there are established fruit trees, a Monkey Puzzle tree, and a 140 year old copper beech.

The Black Isle is a prime growing area of the Highlands. with rich soils and the premises would lend themselves to a small holding or market garden. With unobstructed sunshine, from dawn until dusk, the land is ideal for this purpose, plus it is also organic in that it has not had any chemical sprays etc for over 13 years.

There is various lawn areas, stone walling, the extensive tarmacadam driveway, double garage (7.6m x 7.1m with flooring upstairs) which has potential to be converted, and a separate single garage (4.2m x 6.7m). The property is surrounded by open farmland giving unspoilt 360 degree countryside views.
