Description

This beautiful building was built in 1875 as the local school for children living in the Lochbroom area. It was completely renovated and converted in the 1990s. Originally intended to be used as luxury Bed & Breakfast, it instead became a much-loved family home, with the same owners for 30 years. The property is tucked away in a picturesque and secluded lochside location with awe-inspiring views of the nearby Munro, Beinn Dearg and the surrounding hills. This extraordinary property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of tranquillity in the heart of The Highlands. This 5-bedroom detached house with a rich history, is not just a home—it's a sanctuary where every corner exudes a sense of comfort and charm.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a sense of space and light that permeates throughout the property. The vast living room, with a large dining and family area, provides the perfect setting for both gatherings with loved ones and cosy nights in front of the big log-burner. The modern, well-equipped kitchen, with stone tiles and underfloor heating, is complemented by a breakfast bar right by the window, where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee while basking in the warmth of the sun's rays over beautiful Loch Broom.

The property boasts five spacious bedrooms, each offering peace and quiet. The Master Bedroom, with en-suite shower room, is a haven of relaxation, providing the ultimate in comfort and convenience. And both family bathrooms have large, luxurious corner baths. In addition, the property features a unique stone outbuilding immediately behind the house. This contains a beautiful sauna and changing room, offering a touch of indulgent luxury right on your doorstep.

This property is well positioned for those looking to invest in the thriving hospitality industry or to simply enjoy the beauty of the surrounding nature. Situated close to the renowned North Coast 500 route, the property offers easy access to a myriad of outdoor activities, from hill-walking and fishing to bird-watching and golf. Or simply relax in the garden by the shore, watching seals, porpoises and otters in the Loch right in front of you.

Modern amenities such as electric central heating and the gorgeous timber-framed windows ensure that you stay cosy and comfortable year-round. And you are within easy commuting distance of picturesque Ullapool, with its excellent local shops and services, including Schools, Sports&Leisure facilities, Medical Centre and many superb places to eat or drink.
