81 Alma Road, Fort William, PH33 6HF

Desirable Semi-Detached Dwellinghouse

Centrally located in an elevated position above Fort William town centre, 81 Alma Road is a desirable semi-detached home, set within beautifully maintained and mature garden grounds. Commanding stunning views across Loch Linnhe and the surrounding countryside, this deceptively spacious property offers versatile family accommodation arranged over two levels. The home benefits from double glazing and solid-fuel central heating, complemented by newly installed radiators. A particular feature of the property is the generous attic space, accessed via fixed stairs, providing excellent additional accommodation potential, ideal as a home office, hobby room, playroom or extensive storage area. While some modernisation may be desirable, the property has been well maintained and is presented in good order throughout. It would make an excellent family home, as currently enjoyed by the owners, or alternatively an investment opportunity within the area's strong and buoyant rental market. The current owners have invested considerable time and effort into creating exceptional outdoor spaces. The mature gardens are beautifully landscaped, featuring colourful seasonal planting, lawns, a greenhouse, and an attractive raised gravelled patio area, from which to enjoy the spectacular outlook. The generous plot also benefits from the rare advantage of off-street parking to the side of the property, which is currently lawned over.

Ideally situated close to the centre of Fort William, the property enjoys convenient access to a wide range of local amenities, including schools, shops, restaurants and transport links. Known as the "Outdoor Capital of the UK", Fort William offers an outstanding range of leisure pursuits, including hill walking, mountain biking, skiing, sailing, fishing and climbing, all within easy reach.
