    About this property

    • SUMMARY
      Formerly a pair of crofter's cottages which were constructed about 130 years ago and fully refurbished and extended in 2010, this property comprises two semi-detached two storey dwellinghouses which are currently used for multi generational living space. A concealed internal doorway can reconnect both properties if required. Equally suited to generate a commercial income from a residential let or holiday rentals, Dalnahoyn benefits from just under half an acre of garden grounds.

      ACCOMMODATION
      Dalnahoyn House is the larger property with an entrance vestibule opening into the spacious hallway. Formal entertaining space is catered for with a dining room featuring a fireplace and lovely front facing views, while the sitting room is bright and welcoming, with French doors and a picture window framing the bridge views. Fitted with a comprehensive range of cabinets is the dining kitchen with front and rear facing windows. For everyday domestic tasks there is a utility room with exterior doors. Completing the ground floor is a modern shower room with WC. At first floor level is a particularly spacious landing. A study is flanked by a double bedroom on either side and all three rooms enjoy front facing views. These rooms are serviced by a large main bathroom featuring a corner bath. With wonderful bridge views is a large double bedroom with en suite shower room. Particularly generous in size is the principal suite. This delightful space includes a Juliet balcony and large window providing river and bridge views. The dressing room offers an abundance of hanging and shelf space and there is an en suite shower room. Currently configured for two generations of the same family, next door is the second self-contained home known as Dalnahoyn, with its own independent entrance vestibule. The dining room has an inviting ambience and features an exposed stone wall. Of good proportions is the sitting room and a well equipped kitchen. The ground floor is completed with a shower room. Again with a spacious first floor landing, the first floor is a mirror image of the adjoining property with two bedrooms and a study in between. These rooms are serviced by a main bathroom. A rear facing double bedroom has wonderful bridge views and an en suite shower room.

      OUTSIDE
      At the front is an extensive area of lawn with parking and turning for vehicles. Side and rear gardens are enclosed, sheltered and landscaped. Boundaries are of stone walls and post/wire mesh fencing. A timber summer house is a great retreat space and the decked terrace makes for the perfect alfresco dining spot with its river and bridge aspects.

      GARAGE
      Integral double car garage of stone construction. There is also a detached single garage within the rear garden.

    A wonderful riverbank setting. The perfect spot to cast your rod and blow away the cob webs. I also love the versatility of multi-generational space or a commercial aspect.

    Local information

    • Raigbeg is a hamlet by Tomatin which is a former railway halt. The mainline railway to Inverness still runs to the east of the village and crosses the river over the grand Findhorn Viaduct (built in 1897). The A9 trunk road which now bypasses Tomatin to the east, is conveyed over the river by a modern bridge. The old road, which still services the village, crosses the river a half mile to the south. Strathdearn Primary School is in the village and secondary education is at Inverness and 48 miles away is Gordounston School. Tomatin Distillery, one of the largest in Scotland, lies to the northwest of the village.
    • Inverness, Scotland's most northerly city, is modern and vibrant, with excellent and varied facilities including the marina, railway station and airport with regular flights to London and the south along with summer and winter flights to Europe. It lies at the head of the Great Glen off the northeast tip of Loch Ness. Just a short distance from the city centre is the beautiful, peaceful and unspoilt countryside for which the Highlands are so famous. The dramatic mountains, stunning coastline and the fertile land which is bounded by wide sandy beaches and rugged moorland are all part of the charm Inverness has to offer. There are wonderful opportunities for sport and leisure including sailing, mountain climbing, walking, riding, skiing and cycling. For the keen golfer there are championship golf courses at Royal Dornoch, Nairn, Spey Valley and the Castle Stuart Golf Links. There is salmon fishing on the rivers Beauly, Glass, Nairn, Findhorn and Spey, with shooting and stalking available to rent on local estates.
    • Only a short distance to the south is the popular skiing area at Aviemore in the Cairngorms, a National Park of great beauty. The west coast for more dramatic scenery lies about two hours away.
