5 bedroom house

Naver Lodge is an impressive property located in the hamlet of Syre in the heart of Sutherland. The
house sits in a beautiful elevated setting with views across the surrounding countryside and within
close proximity to the River Naver which is renowned for salmon fishing. The area is famous for its stunning scenery which remains unspoilt and tranquil, providing a haven for wildlife and offering
excellent sporting opportunities. As well as the many renowned salmon and trout fishing rivers, there
are way-marked walks and cycle trails and iconic Munro mountains are close by. Bettyhill, around 10
miles away, has a hotel, café, shop and a fuel station and schooling up to secondary level for which there is a school bus service, while Thurso has a wider range of amenities.

Located in an idyllic elevated position overlooking the Syre and Raphail Estate, Naver Lodge dates
back to the late 1800s and has an interesting history with a number of well-known names having
previously had a connection to the property. The house has been sympathetically renovated and
extended over the years to create an impressive home retaining many original features including
a fully functioning butler’s bell system. The entrance porch gives access to the hallway which in turn allows access to all of the ground floor rooms. The hallway has quality finishings including timber book shelving, window seating and stained glass doors. The dining kitchen has modern base and wall mounted units with integral appliances including a dishwasher and there is a freestanding
range cooker with a five burner gas hob. The dining room is off the kitchen and is currently used a

the dining room is the study which has a window overlooking the garden to the side of the property
and a bespoke integral desk and shelving. The main sitting room has a 12kw multi fuel stove and a
dual aspect outlook with lowered windows to fully enjoy the surrounding scenery. The ground floor
bedroom has a fully accessible wet room shower room and there is access to the utility room which
houses the washing machine and an energy efficient condensing boiler.

The first floor north wing has two bedrooms with lovely views and there is a recently upgraded
