The Old Church Hall17 Main Street, Tomintoul, Ballindalloch, AB37 9EX

Originally the Catholic church for the village of Tomintoul, this unique property was understood to have been built circa 1924. Having hosted parish, community and educational events alongside musical soirées, the church hall was converted into a residential home in 2004. Extensively refurbished by the current owner from 2013, this is an inviting home which would either be suitable for a growing family or as a holiday home for those seeking to make the most of the scenic Cairngorms National Park, or sample the local delicacies along the whisky trails.

ACCOMMODATION
A wide panelled painted door leads into the spacious and welcoming entrance vestibule. Fitted with a tiled floor and partial wall panelling, an arched window overlooks the property frontage. A large wall mounted cupboard contains the electricity circuit breakers and meters, while an open doorway leads into the reception hall area. Within the hall a set of wooden slatted doors opens into the boiler room, which also houses the hot water cylinder and provides ample storage space.

From the reception hall double doors lead into the impressive sitting/dining room. Featuring a high vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams and three bespoke chandeliers, the original wooden flooring has been fully restored. With excellent space available for both relaxation and formal dining, this striking room benefits from plentiful natural light from the skylights and a deep silled window, while twin glazed doors allow access to the paved terrace beyond. Creating a warm and inviting ambience, the HWAM stove is a welcome feature.

Partially glazed double doors with adjacent glazed panel open from the sitting area into the dining kitchen.
