1 Dell Cottage, Dell of Killiehuntly, Kingussie.

Charming Semi-Detached Cottage with Panoramic Countryside Views.

Nestled in the heart of the Highlands at Dell of Killiehuntly, this delightful two-bedroom stone and slate cottage combines traditional character with tranquil rural living. Surrounded by open farmland and scenic landscapes, 1 Dell Cottage offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful seclusion while remaining within easy reach of Kingussie’s and local amenities.

The property boasts a generous kitchen and dining area, perfect for relaxed family meals or entertaining. A bright double-aspect lounge with a wood-burning stove offers the ideal setting to unwind while taking in the uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. Other notable accommodation include the two double bedrooms, both with great outlooks and the downstairs family bathroom. The property is fully double glazed and enjoys an oil fired aga in the kitchen which supplies additional heating. The current owner has recently renovated and redecorated certain rooms, so the house is in good decorative order. This included having the chimney in the lounge structurally stabilised and the stove and flue being replaced. The lounge, loft and upstairs have been treated for wood worm. Many of the internal walls had to be repaired and replastered, where this was the case insulation was installed. The cottage is now being sold in very good condition.

This characterful cottage is perfect as a peaceful home, a Highland retreat, or a desirable buy-to-let investment property.
