Castle Lodge lies close to Evanton in Easter Ross. The property is in a beautiful setting, within the grounds of the former Balconie Castle and with paths leading both to the village and the shores of the Cromarty Firth. The surrounding parkland planting and remaining structures of the estate create a magnificent setting for Castle Lodge with mature broadleaf specimen trees, the old walled garden and part of the castellated wall that edges the access track.

Evanton has a good range of amenities including a small supermarket, primary school and popular farm shop and restaurant. The nearby towns of Dingwall and Alness both have further shops and facilities as well as secondary schools and train stations. Inverness is within easy reach and has all the facilities of a modern city including its new university and airport with regular flights to the south and summer flights to Europe.

The surrounding area is beautiful and unspoilt and provides an ideal base for the outdoor enthusiast, with a wide range of walks and mountain bike trails, challenging mountain climbs and fishing for salmon and trout on local rivers. The west coast, famous for its stunning coastline and sandy beaches, is under an hour’s drive away, while the Cairngorms Ski Centre is also within easy reach.

Castle Lodge comprises a main house, a separate cottage and a gym complex with adjacent garages, all set in approximately 3.8 acres of wooded grounds. The accommodation is well-presented and has the opportunity for use as holiday lets, while the potential exists for conversion of the gym for business use, subject to the necessary consents.
The Main House is set in the lower portion of the grounds, while The Cottage lies at the top of the drive. There is a rear entrance to the property and the gym and garaging have a separate vehicular entrance off the main access track.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
