Charming Georgian property in rural Highland setting
Description
Stittenham House is a charming and historically significant family home, set within a serene rural landscape that offers the perfect base for exploring the Highlands of Scotland. The property is located just 3 miles from the award-winning town of Alness, renowned for its “Britain in Bloom” achievements, and 18 miles from Inverness, the Highland capital. The iconic North Coast 500 route is also within easy reach, providing a gateway to Scotland’s most picturesque driving route. Set amidst the former Ardross Estate, whose extensive 19th-century improvements were commissioned by Sir Alexander Matheson, the property enjoys an extraordinary backdrop: nearby lies the Stittenham Chambered Cairn, a Neolithic burial monument dating back 5,000–6,000 years.
Originally built in 1833 as a Coach Inn, Stittenham House is a distinctive C-listed property that retains much of its original character. Its symmetrical frontage and period detailing reflect the architectural style of the Georgian era, offering a strong sense of history and presence.
The accommodation within the house is spacious and well laid out. There are four bedrooms in total, with three located on the ground floor and one on the first floor that could serve as a guest bedroom or office space, with additional walk in store room.The living room is a light-filled, welcoming area, with dual aspects and feature fireplace, while the adjacent dining room offers a more formal space for family gatherings. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted cabinetry, as well as ample space for further dining. There are two bathrooms, one of which is a family bathroom, and a separate shower room. A handy utility space and walk in storage cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation.
Externally, Stittenham House is set within approximately 0.9 acres of well-maintained grounds. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with mature rhododendron bushes providing colour and texture throughout the seasons and framed by surrounding woodland. A distinctive feature wall forms the easterly boundary, enhancing the character of Stittenham House and framing the breathtaking vistas of the surrounding countryside, with the dramatic silhouette of Ben Rinnes rising above the Speyside valley.
There is generous space available for parking multiple vehicles and a wooden outbuilding attached to the property, providing convenient additional storage space.
The property is currently in use as a successful holiday let and is featured on Airbnb and VisitScotland.
