A gorgeous waterside home in the Scottish Highlands with “spectacular” views out over a peaceful loch has just gone up for sale. The property, which is on the market through Galbraith for offers over £450,000, is set in easily managed grounds with various sitting areas.
Carnalean is a three-bedroom home located in the charming coastal hamlet of Inveralligin in Wester Ross, with the property benefitting from a spectacular setting above the shores of Loch Torridon and the village pier. The house also offers stunning south-westerly views across the water to the mountains of the Applecross Peninsula.
The home was constructed in 2007 and purchased by its current owner in 2013. It features comfortable and spacious accommodation that takes full advantage of the outstanding views and natural sunlight, and has undergone renovation and improvement works such as the addition of a new shower.
Stepping inside Carnalean, the ground floor of the home features a modern dining kitchen with a sitting area in a semi-open plan arrangement. Also located on the ground level is a separate sitting room, one of the bedrooms, a utility room, and a toilet.
The first floor features a generous landing that is suitable for use as either a sitting area or an office, and has a hatch to the full-length floored attic. The generous master bedroom with an en-suite shower room is also located on the first floor, as is the third and final bedroom.
Completing the accommodation is a shower room and a separate jacuzzi bathroom. According to Galbraith, the latter is “of a size which offers the potential for conversion to an additional bedroom and separate bathroom” for those looking to adjust Carnalean to suit their own needs.
Galbraith also states that mains electricity and water are connected, while there is private drainage to a septic tank. Additionally, there is oil-fired central heating that is underfloor throughout the property, while internet is also available and there is mobile signal too.
Looking outside, the grounds extend to around 0.17 acres in total and comprise a gravel garden with sitting areas to both the front and side of the house. Naturally regenerating ground rises to the boundary to the back of Carnalean, while there is also a garden shed and wood store and there is access to the village pier.
The nearby village of Torridon features a general store and two cafés, as well as a doctor’s surgery, a community centre, and a renowned country house hotel and inn. Additionally, there is also an award-winning restaurant approximately four miles away at Diabaig.
There is a wider selection of services and amenities available in Dingwall and Gairloch, while there is primary schooling in Shieldaig and secondary schooling in Gairloch. Elsewhere, Inverness offers all of the facilities of a modern city—including a mainline railway station and an airport with regular flights to the UK and Europe.
Scotland’s western coast is beloved for its mild climate, magnificent beaches, and breathtaking island views. The untouched countryside and traditional and friendly local communities make the area popular amongst those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle for a change of lifestyle.
The surrounding countryside offers some truly jawdropping scenery and the opportunity for various outdoor pursuits such as hill walking, mountain biking, fishing, shooting, and sailing. The immediate area also has excellent sea-kayaking and access to famous Munros such as Beinn Alligin and the Torridon range.
