Cottage for sale in Rhiroy, Lochbroom, Garve IV23

Charming 2 Bedroom Cottage Appreciating Lovely Views across Loch Broom to the Surrounding Hills.

Description

This charming, detached cottage dates back to circa 1912 and is set in easily maintained garden grounds enjoying an open aspect across Loch Broom. Offering deceptively well proportioned accommodation, the Jotul stove in the lounge provides an attractive focal point and the kitchen has ample space for dining with small scullery off. The two bedrooms are both doubles and are set on the first floor along with a wc, and there is a shower room set off the external store accessed via the garden. Owned by the same family since 1977, it is with a heavy heart that this property comes to market and it really must be viewed to be appreciated.

Please note: This property is of non-traditional construction
