An exciting opportunity to acquire a wonderful detached six-bedroom property, located in a prominent location within the ever-popular coastal village of Onich
This south-west facing property is situated in an elevated coastal position and enjoys stunning sea views across Loch Linnhe towards the Ardgour Mountains and Kentallen. Originally designed as a sun-trap, this substantial three-storey family home, offers buyers an opportunity to use either as a family home or as a small scale bed and breakfast.
The entrance door is located to the side, leading into a welcoming lobby area. An open wooden staircase provides access to all levels of the house, with a gallery landing situated above the middle floor. The lower floor has been completely refurbished and now offers three en-suite bedrooms, each benefitting from an individual design. These rooms once formed the basis of a very successful bed and breakfast business, popular with tourists from around the world.
Situated at the front of the property and enjoying spectacular coastal views, bedroom one is the largest of the lower floor bedrooms at 379 ft2. The accommodation layout also features a sizable en-suite bathroom and walk-in dressing room. A central hallway gives further access to bedroom two, benefitting from a contemporary en-suite bathroom which features a wonderful freestanding oval bathtub. The third lower floor bedroom offers views out over the side gardens, with a patio door also giving access to a private seating area.
The ground floor layout features a wonderful family lounge, the largest room in the property. The room is warmed through by an open fireplace, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. Patio doors open to a covered balcony area, perfectly positioned to capture the panoramic coastal views.
A dining room is also located to the front of the ground floor, large enough to offer a flexible seating combination. The family kitchen is located to the rear, with a design that incorporates a selection of farmhouse-style wall and floor units, complimented by a contrasting worktop. A doorway to the rear of the kitchen gives access to a stairway which, in turn, leads to the rear garden.
Located centrally on the ground floor, a bedroom has recently been used to store personal possessions but offers potential to convert to an en-suite bathroom by combining with the adjacent shower room. It also offers scope for use as a home study or office. The upper floor of the property enjoys a coombed ceiling design, with Velux windows flooding the rooms with natural daylight. Two generously proportioned double bedrooms and a single bedroom are located on the top floor, along with a bathroom, WC and separate shower room.
External
The property is accessed from the road by a sweeping driveway that leads to a dedicated visitor parking area. The driveway continues around the house before exiting onto the main road. Mature gardens surround the property, with a picturesque backdrop of trees located on the hillside behind.
The grounds offer privacy and a wonderful place in which to enjoy the glorious coastal suntrap location.
A large garage / workshop is located on the roadside, offering potential for development of a separate letting unit, subject to the necessary planning consents.
Location
Highland View is situated in North Ballachulish, on the fringe of the peaceful village of Onich and along the banks of Loch Linnhe.
The area is an excellent base to live in, and explore, the breathtaking splendour of the West Highlands. The property is surrounded by some of the finest climbing, hill walking, mountain biking, fishing and sailing areas in Great Britain. The local area benefits from cafes, hotels, pubs and restaurants, a medical centre, A&E hospital, churches (of various denominations), primary and secondary schools.
Fort William, located 10 miles away, is often referred to as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK”, and is most famous for being the gateway to Ben Nevis, Mallaig and Inverness. Activity based enthusiasts are especially catered for at “Ice Factor” - the ultimate adventure centre including ice/rock climbing, aerial adventure course, shop, restaurant and café. Glencoe Mountain Resort and the Nevis Range (Fort William) are also local and enjoyed in the area for seasonal skiing, mountain biking etc. The famous “Jacobite” West Highland Train operates between Mallaig and Glasgow, stopping at Fort William Train Station. In addition, the Overnight Caledonian Sleeper operates between London Euston and Fort William.
The local Corran Ferry provides efficient, convenient access to the stunning Ardnamurchan peninsula (including Sanna Bay).
From the beautiful coastal town of Oban - frequent sailings can be taken to the ever-famous Hebridean islands of Mull and Iona as well as Colonsay, Islay and Barra which is all within easy reach.
