Lochbroom, Garve, IV23

This beautiful building was built in 1875 as the local school for children living in the Lochbroom area. It was completely renovated and converted in the 1990s. Originally intended to be used as luxury Bed & Breakfast, it instead became a much-loved family home, with the same owners for 30 years. The property is tucked away in a picturesque and secluded lochside location with awe-inspiring views of the nearby Munro, Beinn Dearg and the surrounding hills.

The property boasts five spacious bedrooms, each offering peace and quiet. The Master Bedroom, with en-suite shower room, is a haven of relaxation, providing the ultimate in comfort and convenience. And both family bathrooms have large, luxurious corner baths. In addition, the property features a unique stone outbuilding immediately behind the house.
