This delightful family home is situated between Glencoe and Fort William and sits in a woodland setting surrounded by beautiful West Highland Scenery with views towards the Morvern Peninsula, one of the most alluring and accessible parts of the Scottish Highlands.
The cottage is beautifully maintained and predominantly neutrally decorated. Recent enhancements include a lovely modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a superb ground floor shower room with underfloor heating, rainfall shower and wet wall finish. The lounge-kitchen-diner is open-plan and sliding patio doors open onto a veranda style seating area that over looks the garden towards a woodland setting beyond.
The property benefits from a bathroom and shower room on separate levels, three generously proportioned bedrooms (one on the ground floor), double glazing and has electric heating.
