Camus House, Onich, Fort William, Inverness-Shire, PH33

Beautiful Victorian villa in stunning Highland lochside setting.

Description

Camus House is an exceptional Victorian villa built in 1892 in the Arts and Crafts style. It is surrounded by carefully tended mature gardens which extend to around 1.3 acres and include lawns, woodland and a car park. There is also a substantial garage/outbuilding in the grounds.

Camus House has been sympathetically renovated by our clients with many 21st century alterations yet a wealth of original 19th century features have been carefully retained.

The accommodation on the ground floor begins with an entrance conservatory which leads to a grand reception hallway with magnificent antique panelling and a staircase with carved balustrade. A splendid period fireplace with open fire provides plenty of welcoming character upon entering the house.

The sitting room has wonderful views to the Morvern Peninsula framed by full height windows, and the formal dining room again enjoys open views and has a fireplace with marble surround. The fully fitted kitchen has been recently upgraded in a stylish and contemporary style and includes double induction hobs and two double ovens, solid oak work surfaces, central island and plenty of cabinets. Off the kitchen are the butler pantry, larder, boiler room and laundry room.

On the ground floor there are two double bedrooms, both with en suites, while upstairs are a further seven bedrooms, five of which include en suite facilities. There is also a bathroom and WC on this level.

Camus Houses’ flexible layout and stunning location means it has been enjoyed as a much loved family home and as a successful guest house by the current owners. The website is available to view at

The business element can be purchased under separate negotiation; further information can be made available upon request.

Location

Camus House is situated in a beautiful elevated position overlooking the shores of Loch Linnhe, a west coast sea loch which ultimately feeds into the Atlantic Ocean.
