About this 4 - Detached |
The property is situated approx 30 miles north east of Inverness and is accessed via the main A9 North road initially. Then turning onto a minor road for approx two miles, turning again onto a tarmac road through a woodland area which leads to a private track approx half a mile long. This track is followed through deciduous woodland, which eventually meets a private gate, opening to the gravel drive and garden grounds.
Very attractive detached, traditional, four bed roomed house, set in lawns of approximately three quarters of an acre or thereabouts enjoying a very private, secluded location, with views over the Cromarty firth. The property, approx 200 years old originally, has undergone complete sympathetic renovation within the last few years, yet has managed to retain the traditional charm of the house and it’s very secluded setting, with further land that maybe available via separate negotiation.
This property is very private and secluded, has no visual neighbors, as it sits at the end of a track bounded by woodland, open fields, and eventually the sea, which can be easily accessed down a track through the beautiful woodland area. The surrounding area has considerable history and mature trees, with castle ruins just over the garden fence. (Not seen)
The original part of the house was built approx 200 years ago and has since undergone complete renovation. It is a traditional detached house of stone construction, under slate & tiled roof. It has been sympathetically extended and upgraded to a high standard over the past few years. It has four double bedrooms, one with ensuite, family bathroom, large family kitchen diner, utility room, large split level lounge with open fire place, is fully double glazed and has oil fired central heating. The property also benefits from an internal security system and external PIR lighting.
Wildlife is abundant with visiting Pine Martins, Roe deer, Fox, red Squirrels, Buzzard, Osprey, Peregrine, Red Kite, Barn owls, Tawny owls, Sparrow hawk, Goshawk, Woodpecker, Nuthatch, Tree creeper, Gold finch and much more to numerous to mention. There are endless miles of walking and horse riding without crossing or seeing a road. We feel this property would suit any wildlife enthusiast, Ornithologist, writer, walking enthusiasts and people with equestrian interests. Along with having B&B potential it is also suitable for anyone just seeking privacy, peace and tranquility. We feel this property has inspirational and therapeutic benefits, along with offering a fantastic laid back life style with all modern amenities.
While it is secluded and nestled in the countryside, it is only a short drive from amenities. It has the added benefit of a grocery home delivery service and animal feed delivery service. Coupled with the local post office, general store & garage only approx two 2 miles away and further full amenities being only approx 6 miles distant, everything you need is easily accessible. It benefits from having two telephone lines, broadband connection, multiple sockets for office machines and satellite TV, to accommodate for modern day living. With these services already connected, it enables anyone who wishes to work from home, to surround them selves with a peace and stress reducing environment, to become a reality.
Sitting in approx three quarters of an acre of garden or thereabouts, it also has possibility of further grazing land from local farmer either to rent or buy. This would be available from the twenty eight acre field which bounds the property on two sides.
Pipers Knowe also benefits from timber built outbuildings in the form of three large stables, which all have independent power supply for multiple uses, incorporating external security lighting which is all in very good order. One of which is currently being used as housing for freezers, tools, lawn mower etc. In addition to the above, there are four large aviaries, two dog runs with kennels and two outside water supplies. Also in the grounds, according to the deeds, there is evidence of a second building that is no longer visible, but has potential for rebuilding, subject to the usual planning application being submitted.
