Set back off the road, the property has direct access to popular woodland walks and bike trails as well as beautiful views to the front and rear.  

This traditionally built property benefits from great sized accommodation, a stunning dining room which is great for hosting family and friends and a modern kitchen which has been finished to a very high standard. The property also boasts some traditional features, such as deep skirtings, paneled doors and decorative ceiling coving, all of which add to the character of this stunning period property. In good condition, the house is currently used as holiday let investment property  and a second home but could also make a stunning family home. The substantial garden grounds measure approximately ½ an acre and include two timber sheds and a timber garage. The well maintained garden has some beautifully matured shrubs and trees as well as plenty of lawn area to the front and rear.

The house itself sits on an elevated, south facing position and enjoys views over the Hazel Wood towards Creag Bheag. The tennis courts and excellent Kingussie Golf Club are both close by and the town centre with all its amenities is approximately 0.5 mile away.

Internal viewing is highly recommended in order to appreciate the many pleasing features on offer in this delightful property.
