4 bed detached house for sale

Main Street, Newtonmore PH20

Old Bank House is a thoughtfully renovated traditional four-bedroom villa, prominently positioned on Newtonmore's Main Street and within easy walking distance of the village's amenities. Dating from the 1930s, the property was originally constructed as the British Linen Bank before later serving as the Bank of Scotland and eventually being converted into a private residence in the 1970s.

The house has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and upgrading, including the installation of wall insulation, new UPVC windows, complete rewiring and replumbing, refurbishment and repainting of the guttering, and the addition of an oil-fired central heating system. The result is a home that successfully combines modern comfort and efficiency with the character and charm of its historic origins.

Throughout the property, thoughtful design details such as tongue-and-groove panelling, cast-iron radiators, and a mix of original and carefully replicated doors pay homage to the building's heritage while complementing its contemporary finish.
