Tigh-Na-Drochaid, Nethy Bridge, Highland, PH25

Tigh-Na-Drochaid lies in the centre of Nethy Bridge in the Cairngorms National Park. A property of note in the village, the house and its adjoining, self-contained cottage are in a delightful setting with grounds extending half way into the River Nethy.
Nethy Bridge is situated in the heart of Strathspey in the Cairngorms National Park and has been a popular holiday destination since Victorian times. The village has an excellent range of shops and amenities, a primary school, golf course and a wide network of way-marked forest walks. Rothiemurchus and the Cairngorms Ski Centre are nearby and offer activities in the surrounding countryside and on the mountain ranges throughout the year including cycling, skiing, water sports, and fishing. The world-famous River Spey is close by, while Abernethy and Insh Marshes RSPB reserves provide a habitat for many protected and rare species of birds and wildlife.
The nearby towns of Grantown-on-Spey and Aviemore offer more extensive services, including secondary schooling, supermarkets, swimming pools, independent retailers and restaurants. A mainline railway station and intercity bus routes are both available from Aviemore. Inverness is less than one hour’s drive to the north and provides all the services of a major city including its airport with regular links to the south and Europe.

The House
The current owners purchased Tigh-Na-Drochaid in 2016 and have carried out improvements to create a comfortable and well-appointed family house. The work carried out includes the installation of a zoned, biomass heating system, a new wood burning stove in the sitting room, repainting of exterior woodwork and some redecoration.
The interior is well laid out and welcoming with two reception rooms and sun porch at the front of the house and a modern dining kitchen to the rear. The ground floor back wing has a utility area, bedroom/study and bathroom and with its side entrance has the potential for use as a self-contained annexe, subject to the necessary consents. The first floor has two en suite bedrooms, two further bedrooms and family shower room.

The Cottage
The charming cottage at Tigh-Na-Drochaid has been fully renovated by the current owners. The interior was taken back to the original stone walls and refitted to create comfortable and well-appointed accommodation while retaining the character of a traditional property. The cottage has excellent levels of insulation and is heated via the zoned biomass heating system, minimising running costs.
