    About this property

    • Riverside is a stunning detached villa which has been extended by the current owners to take full advantage of its lovely waterside position overlooking the River Spean.

      The property has a distinctive ‘inverted' layout which positions the main living accommodation on the elevated first floor level with bedrooms below. The ground floor accommodation begins with porch entryway leading to a well-proportioned reception hallway. From here there are four double bedrooms, all with en suite shower rooms.

      Reached via the striking oak spiral staircase, the first floor has a lovely flow and begins with a bright open plan hallway which is currently used as a spacious dining area. There is an exceptional open concept kitchen with a range of modern base and wall mounted units, integrated appliances and large island, as well as cosy sitting area and focal wood burning stove. The large living room is positioned off the hallway, also with wood burning stove and flooded with natural light from its dual aspect views. The principal bedroom is also on the first floor with en suite bathroom and panoramic outlook from the double level windows. An additional shower room completes the first floor with handy utility room on the ground level.

      Integrated on the ground floor with separate access is a self-contained garage, perfect for running as a holiday let (subject to planning permission) or for multi-generational living.

      The property sits in a secluded cul-de-sac at the end of an impressive tree-lined driveway. The gardens have been landscaped with a wide variety of mature trees and shrubs with steps leading to the foot of the garden where there is direct access down to the River Spean. There is space for multiple car parking.

      Riverside has operated as a fantastic family home and a successful B&B for a number of years and offers versatile options in its current configuration.
