Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this superb owner occupied thirty-five-acre croft, which comes with the potential to purchase a further hundred acres by separate negotiation. With a five bedroomed storey and a half home, four car garage as well as a sand school, detached stable block and large barn which incorporates a lambing shed, tractor store, implement store and further stables, this property has a lot to offer.
Located on the main NC 500 route, Achalone Croft was renovated and extended by the present owners, with the main house and quarter of an acre of garden ground benefiting from being decrofted. The fields have well maintained stock proofed fencing, whilst all the land is good grazing. All of the land is Iacs registered and the single farm entitlements which are part of the Agri-Environment Scheme are also available by separate negotiation.
The croft is accessed via double gates just off the main A9 and has an extensive gravel driveway with parking for numerous vehicles. Inside, the original croft house has been upgraded and extended to provide family living at its best. There is a bright family lounge which has a feature wall as well as a double-sided stove.

The kitchen also has patio doors which opens up into the enclosed garden. There is also a spacious family room which is accessed through the kitchen loft hatch. This would make a great play room for kids or further sleeping accommodation. Located off the rear hall are the family bathroom and a bright utility room. Three double bedrooms with built in wardrobes as well as a study and stylish shower room complete the downstairs living accommodation. Upstairs two double bedrooms, one of which has a dressing room, a storage area as well as an immaculately presented shower room can be found. Finished to a very high standard, this mainly neutrally decorated home is just ready to move in to and also benefits from oil central heating, double glazed Cairngorm windows with five-point locking UPVC doors and exterior motion sensor lighting. The property is also a council tax band A although this may change on sale.
