Modern Detached Villa with Letting Annexe & Garage Space

Located within the desirable hamlet of Gairlochy and enjoying views across the surrounding countryside towards the River Lochy, Cuiltean is a substantial detached residence with a self-contained annexe and double garage, set within mature landscaped garden grounds and benefiting from private parking. Presented in excellent order throughout, both internally and externally, this home has been sympathetically modernised and extended over the years to create an impressive and versatile living environment, whilst benefiting from double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The accommodation is bright, spacious and beautifully appointed, featuring a welcoming lounge, dining and kitchen area with feature fireplace and patio doors, ideal for modern family living and entertaining. There are four well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which enjoy the luxury of en-suite facilities, as well as a shower room and useful utility room. The superb self-contained annexe offers excellent income-generating potential. The flexible layout lends itself perfectly to use as a substantial family home; however, the en-suite accommodation and separate annexe also present an outstanding opportunity for those seeking to operate a boutique Bed & Breakfast or holiday letting business in one of Scotland's most sought-after tourist destinations.

Enjoying arguably one of the most beautiful locations in Lochaber, the property is located in the small hamlet of Gairlochy, with its historic swing bridge spanning the Caledonian Canal as it enters Loch Lochy. Gairlochy enjoys a spectacular waterside location. The canal itself, with its towpath running all the way to Fort William, provides many leisure opportunities. Further amenities are available in the nearby village of Spean Bridge and the tow of Fort William.
