Description

This expansive 6-bedroom former coach house is situated within the breathtaking Cairngorm National Park, presenting a unique opportunity for those interested in renovation and investment. The property maintains its traditional character while offering ample space for creative enhancements, making it an ideal canvas for forward-thinking buyers. Spanning two levels, the ground floor features an inviting lounge accentuated by a bay window that fills the room with natural light, alongside a charming feature fireplace. Central to the home is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, complete with a breakfast bar and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that adds warmth to the space. Practical amenities include a utility room and a convenient downstairs WC. Additionally, one of the ground-floor bedrooms boasts its own private entrance and adjacent reception room, which could easily be adapted into a self-contained annexe, providing valuable rental potential. The upper floor hosts five well-proportioned bedrooms along with a family bathroom fitted with both a bathtub and separate shower cubicle.
