Toll House, Ardersier, Inverness, IV2 7SX

A rare opportunity to purchase an historic B-listed 3 bedroom detached toll house, steeped in history and full of rustic charm and character, with stunning panoramic views over the Moray Firth on the outskirts of the village of Ardersier.

The home has been extended but retains many of its original features with the semi-octagonal lounge and exposed stonework in the hallway. The kitchen/diner enjoys the views of the Moray Firth and the principal bedroom has full length windows and patio doors opening onto the patio area at the rear, also benefiting from the panoramic views.

A staircase from the entrance hallway gives access to a bright and spacious carpeted storage room in the roof area with windows.

The accommodation comprises the entrance vestibule, hallway, lounge, kitchen/diner, utility room, bathroom, shower room, three bedrooms and storage room in the roof area.

This is a fabulous location for enjoying a range of outdoor pursuits to include fishing, windsurfing and wild swimming.

It is a great location for bird watching, spotting Bottlenose dolphins, porpoises and grey seals which frequent the Firth between Chanonry Point and Fort George, an 18th century fortress near Ardersier.

There is a choice of cycle routes from Ardersier around the Cawdor and Culloden area and there are beautiful walks along the Moray Firth shore.

Castle Stuart Golf Course is approximately 4 miles from Ardersier.

Primary School pupils attend Ardersier Primary School and secondary school pupils attend Culloden Academy.

The village offers a range of amenities including restaurants, a convenience store, doctors’ surgery and pharmacy. It is located approximately 3 miles from Inverness Airport.

Ardersier is a great commuter base for the seaside town of Nairn and the City of Inverness, both of which offer an extensive range of retail, leisure and business facilities.

The home has been successfully run in the past as a holiday let but would be perfect for a family or anyone looking to downsize.

Only by viewing can one appreciate the accommodation and location.
