Harbour Street Plockton IV52 8TG

Enjoying possibly one of the most famous and much-photographed views in the picturesque and sought-after village of Plockton, Wester Ross, Alt na Creag is a traditional stone-built terrace house of 3 or 4 bedrooms. Peacefully located away from the busy main frontage, in a sheltered position, it is close to all local amenities and only a few minutes from the railway station connecting to Inverness/Edinburgh/London. The property has been tastefully upgraded but still retains its original ambience whilst the generous rear garden is a sheltered sun-trap, a sloping lawn, with an abundance of mature hedges and trees. The charming front garden going down to the beach is a lawn with planted rose beds and a raised wooden deck at the water's edge giving unrestricted views of the loch. This outlook has been the subject of very many picture postcards. It presents the perfect opportunity to purchase a delightful home with an iconic view in a highly desirable village, often described as “The Jewel of the Highlands.”
