Mole Cottage is a charming detached cottage with fine stone elevations and a range of comfortable, light-filled accommodation.

The property is entered via a double front door into a central hallway with store cupboard and turned stairway. From here the family bathroom is accessed, with its clawfoot rolltop bathtub and separate walk-in shower. The accommodation flows into a bright front-facing sitting room with a striking open fireplace housing a log-burning stove viewable via the elegant conservatory adjacent, with its exposed stonework surround and panoramic views of the garden and scenery beyond. Further is an in-keeping kitchen with a range of wooden wall and base cabinetry, a cream AGA range and breakfast bar, with an open-plan layout into the dining room, with its charming fireplace and stove. Completing the floor is a rear hallway and a well-appointed utility room with a butler sink.

The first-floor landing branches off onto four bedrooms with views of the dramatic landscapes surrounding, including the dual-aspect principal bedroom with its fitted wardrobe and en suite shower room.

The property is approached via a gravelled driveway leading to a carport with further space for a couple of vehicles, adjacent to which is a shed, log store and terrace. The plot is enclosed via corresponding stone-built walls, with a central pathway dividing lawn and borders leading to the main entrance. The extensive lawned garden further boasts impressive Highland views and is home to various mature trees, shrubs and planting.

The adaptable timber-clad annexe comprises an entrance space flowing to an open-plan kitchen and living space, along with a bedroom and shower room. Externally it features a private terrace, a bike shed and also enjoys the scenic views.
