Oozing with wow factor is this 14-bedroom country house in the remote coastal setting of Arisaig, Inverness-Shire.

Originally built in 1864 and designed by English architect Philip Webb, Arisaig House was rebuilt in 1939 by architect IBM Hamilton after a fire devastated much of the property in the 1930s. Since then, it has been Listed Category B as it is of architectural and historic interest by Historic Environment Scotland.

Arisaig House is on sale for offers over £2,250,000 and is marketed by Rettie & Co – Town & Country, Edinburgh, via OnTheMarket.

Access to the sea by a private jetty and an all-weather tennis court are just part of the many impressive offerings of this property.

Inside, many Art Deco style features run throughout the home, the dining room is lined with William Morris’s ‘strawberry thief’ wallpaper while the drawing room has an Italian vaulted ceiling, and oak-carved woodcocks, pheasants and rabbits feature in the striking staircase.

As well as four reception rooms, a grand kitchen and billiard room, Arisaig House boasts 12 bedroom suites alongside additional domestic quarters and bedrooms.

Within the grounds lie four self-contained detached houses, Orchard House which overlooks the Victorian Walled Garden, Achnahanat bungalow, Fagus Lodge which spans two floors, the converted outbuilding Chef’s Cottage, and Gardener’s Cottage at the rear of the courtyard.
