5 bedroom house

This is a highly impressive home offering almost 2,900 sq. ft. of light-filled accommodation arranged in a T-shaped configuration over two floors and benefits from a detached one bedroom annexe extending to more than 700 sq. ft., offering the prospective purchaser the opportunity to provide stunning self-catering holiday accommodation, subject to the appropriate permissions.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and includes a spacious double-height vaulted sitting room with a contemporary woodburner flanked on each side by full-height picture windows with stunning views over the loch, opening into the large triple aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a useful neighbouring fitted utility room. The kitchen provides a range of contemporary high-gloss units including a large central island with breakfast bar, modern integrated appliances including a wine chiller, a breakfast area and French doors to the garden terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a bedroom wing with two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in storage and contemporary fully-tiled en suite shower rooms.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to a large first floor galleried landing overlooking the sitting room below and with full-height feature glazing providing stunning views of the loch. This leads to a large principal bedroom with built-in storage and contemporary en suite bathroom and to two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in storage, one with an en suite bathroom and the other enjoying Jack and Jill access to the principal bedroom’s en suite bathroom.

The property sits on the shores of Loch Eil in rural Lochaber close to the Highland village of Corpach which sits on the north shore of Loch Linnhe and offers a good range of day-to-day amenities including a Co-op grocery store, hotel, mountain centre and public house together with stunning views of Loch Linnhe toward Ben Nevis and Fort William in the distance and stunning walks from Corpach Basin, the western sea entrance of the Caledonian Canal. The nearby popular town of Fort William, known as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK”, lies in the shadow of Ben Nevis and offers more extensive amenities including a wide range of shops, supermarkets and restaurants. The property is surrounded by stunning Highlands scenery, which features a wide variety of wildlife and offers numerous opportunities for walking, climbing, cycling and mountain biking, sailing, fishing and skiing at the nearby Aonach Mor Ski Centre. Despite its scenic location, communications links are excellent: the property enjoys easy access to the A82 Glasgow to Inverness road, Loch Eil, Corpach and Fort William stations offer regular trains to Glasgow Central with onward connections to major regional and national centres and Inverness Airport offers a wide selection of domestic and European flights.

Sitting in approximately 1 acre and occupying a stunning elevated position providing some of the best views in the area, the property is approached over a tarmac driveway leading to a large area of gravelled hardstanding providing parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to the detached annexe. The garden surrounding the property is laid to level lawn and features a large decked terrace with adjoining hot tub area, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining, the whole enjoying stunning views over the loch towards Stob Coire a’ Chearcaill, Glas Bheinn and the Ardgour Hills in the distance and with the benefit of sightings of the Jacobite steam train passing along the loch’s northern shore.
