A cutting edge modern country house set in approximately 50 acres with excellent equestrian facilities.
West Knockbain Mains is a stunning modern, architect-designed country house built to the highest of specification in 2004. Designed to maximise on the stunning views and the southerly aspect, the home has a feeling of light and space with the abundance of floor to ceiling windows. The reception hall has a self -cleaning glass atrium running the full width of the house and an exposed brick wall that absorbs the sun rays during the day and omits heat at night.
The accommodation is well laid out over two floors, with entrance vestibules at the east and west sides of the house giving access to the stunning open reception hall with solid oak staircase and glass atrium. This in turn provides access to the family/dining room with open fire; the large dining kitchen with Aga and sitting room with open fire; and a double bedroom with en-suite. A a rear hall gives access to utility room, drying room, w.c. and access to integrated garages. Upstairs are 3 further double bedrooms (master with large en-suite shower room and fitted dressing room) and family bathroom.
Outside is a garden area laid to lawn with a large decked area running the length of the house.
EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES
There is an excellent silica sand/Andrew Bowen Eurofibre exercise arena with drainage and floodlighting, extending to 55m x 28m adjacent to the stable block which has five looseboxes ( four measuring 15ft x 15ft, and one 12ft x 10ft), a tack room and a feed store. The building has electricity and water.
The land extends to approximately 50 acres in total and there is planning permission for a single span portal frame building (valid until March 2009).
West Knockbain Mains is situated in a stunning elevated position with southerly views over existing farmland to the Moray Firth and the Cairngorm mountains beyond.
Surrounded by open countryside to the south the house also benefits from access to forestry land to the rear with woodland paths.
Ideally placed for commuting, West Knockbain Mains is only 3 miles from Munlochy with local shop, hotel bar and restaurant and primary school. The famous "Clootie Well" behind the village is of ancient origin and was originally the home of a fairy to which a gift cloth was given before drinking the health-giving and luck-bestowing water. The well was later known as St Boniface's Well and the trees and bushes surrounding it are festooned with rags. RSPB land to the south of Munlochy is a haven for a variety of wading birds, ducks and migrating birds.
The village of Fortrose (8 miles) provides a highly regarded academy. The village also provides a range of amenities and retail outlets to cater for most daily requirements.
It is not uncommon to see dolphins from the harbour and there are regular dolphin and seal spotting trips available.
The City of Inverness (11 miles) is the main business and commercial centre for the Highlands and provides an extensive range of High Street shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities in addition to road and main line rail links to the south. Inverness Airport is approximately 6 miles east of Inverness on the A96.
For recreational facilities the Highlands offers a diverse and varied range of outdoor facilities including golf, walking, cycling, shooting, fishing and ski-ing.
