5 bed detached house for sale

Auchterawe, Fort Augustus PH32

Set in a peaceful rural position around two miles from Fort Augustus, Netherby is a substantial detached home offering an impressive amount of accommodation across two floors. Built in 2004 and extending to approximately 154 square metres, the property provides five bedrooms in total, with a spacious living room, kitchen and dining area, utility room, shower room and rear porch on the ground floor, alongside four further bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

From the outside, the house sits within a generous plot extending to around one third of an acre. The grounds have been well maintained, with a mixture of lawn, stone-chipped areas and raised beds giving you plenty of space around the property. There are concrete slab patios to the rear and a timber patio deck to the front, creating different areas to enjoy the outdoors depending on the time of day. A timber garden shed and polytunnel add useful extras for storage and gardening.

The property also benefits from a detached single garage positioned to the side of the house. Constructed with timber frame and clad walls beneath a pitched metal roof, the garage has a concrete floor, while a car port and log store to the rear provide further useful covered and storage space.

Inside, the entrance hall provides access to the main ground floor accommodation, with the layout offering a good balance between open family spaces and more private rooms. The living room is a comfortable main reception space, with a free-standing stove creating a natural focal point. The stove sits against a tiled back and polished slate hearth, bringing a cosy feel to the room and adding a touch of character.

The kitchen and dining area provides a practical space for everyday living, with modern fitted units finished in a timber-effect veneer, a proprietary worktop, inset sink and integral electrical appliances. The adjoining dining space gives plenty of room for a proper dining table, making this an area that can work well for family meals as well as entertaining.

From here, the layout continues through to a separate utility room, providing valuable additional space for laundry and household tasks without taking over the main kitchen. A rear porch adds another useful transition space between the house and garden.

The ground floor also benefits from a bedroom, giving the property a particularly flexible arrangement. Having a bedroom on this level could suit guests, family members or anyone who would prefer to have sleeping accommodation without needing to use the stairs.

A shower room is also located on the ground floor, alongside the bedroom and main living accommodation. The bathroom fittings throughout the property are modern, with ceramic WC and wash hand basins, an enamelled bath and a separate proprietary shower enclosure, with tiled or wet-wall finishes.

Upstairs, the landing leads through to four further bedrooms, giving the property five bedrooms in total. This is a considerable amount of accommodation and gives you plenty of flexibility in how the rooms are used. Alongside bedrooms for family members, there is obvious potential for a home office, guest room, hobby room or dressing room depending on your needs.

The first-floor bathroom completes the upstairs accommodation, while a linen cupboard on the landing provides useful additional storage. The overall arrangement makes good use of the space, with the larger footprint allowing the property to work particularly well for a family or anyone looking for more room than a typical modern home provides.

There is also a strong connection between the property and its rural surroundings. The front dormer windows and rear Velux rooflights bring natural light into the upper accommodation, while the gardens give you plenty of opportunity to enjoy the open setting around the house.

The property is heated by an external oil-fired boiler, supplying steel radiators throughout, with hot water stored in a cylinder located within the first-floor linen cupboard. The house also benefits from fully double-glazed UPVC windows and doors, including double-glazed French patio doors.

This is a property where the combination of space and setting really stands out. With five bedrooms, generous living accommodation, a large garden plot, detached garage, car port, log store, polytunnel and a peaceful rural position, Netherby offers plenty of flexibility both inside and out.
