Highlea, Auchnarrow, Glenlivet, AB37

Highlea is a charming and characterful detached cottage with an adjoining stone steading, set within generous garden grounds in the peaceful hamlet of Auchnarrow in the Cairngorms National Park. With beautiful views of the surrounding Ladder hills and countryside, this traditional two-bedroom home offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle with excellent potential for further development (client said she has planning for steading). The accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a bright entrance vestibule leading through to a spacious kitchen with ample room for dining. From here, a sun room to the rear enjoys panoramic views across open fields. The cosy sitting room is full of warmth and character, with a striking exposed stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. Also on the ground floor is a stylish shower room and rear hall. Upstairs, there are two generously sized double bedrooms and a central landing. The attached stone steading provides extensive storage and workshop space and could offer scope for conversion, subject to the necessary consents (the current owner previously had obtained planning to convert this into annexe accommodation). Outside, the garden wraps around the house with a mix of lawn, planting beds and boundary fencing. A gravel drive provides parking, and the setting enjoys a strong sense of privacy while remaining accessible. This attractive property would suit a variety of buyers, including those looking for a permanent home, a Highland retirement or a project with further potential. Viewing is essential to appreciate the location and possibilities. EPC F, Council tax F, Home report available from massoncairns.com
