Inside this charming 19th century Highland cottage on the banks of Loch Ness
Location, location, location sums it up perfectly, as this beautiful, detached cottage on the banks of Loch Ness, in Inverness-shire, has come onto the market at £365,000.
Situated in an idyllic location for spotting the Highlands infamous Loch Ness Monster, and with beautiful hills and forestry cascading its surroundings, we have taken a look inside to see what it’s like.
Dating back to 1812, Rose Cottage is situated in a most enviable location within the small village of Dores on the eastern shore of Loch Ness, just eight miles from the city of Inverness.
This two/three bedroom property occupies a plot of around 0.23 acres that extends to the banks of Loch Ness.
From inside the property stunning views can be enjoyed over the property’s garden, Loch Ness and the hillscape beyond. A particularly nice feature being the first floor Juliet balcony with glass balustrade designed to take advantage of these panoramic views.
The open plan sitting room room on the ground floor benefits from a cosy wood burning stove, whilst floor to ceiling glazing allows an influx of natural light. This extends the sense of space into the garden whilst framing the views over the loch.
Moving through to the fully equipped kitchen, there is plenty of storage space, a built-in oven and stove, in addition to show stopping views that can be accessed through the connecting door.
All of the bedrooms are incredibly spacious and compliment the property’s surrounding views with beautiful windows featuring each of the designs.
Local amenities in the village of Dores include an active community hall, a gift shop and the popular Dores Inn serving food and drinks. There is primary schooling nearby, at Aldourie Primary School with secondary schooling being found in Inverness to which a free school bus service runs.
The area is renowned for its natural beauty with Dores having a shingle beach popular with tourists and those who enjoy outdoor pursuits including paddle boarding and wild swimming. The surrounding countryside is popular with walkers and cyclists alike.
