This unique property presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment in a historic Thomas Telford-designed manse, built in 1836. This spacious five-bedroom detached bungalow is set on a sizeable corner plot in the picturesque village of Tomintoul, nestled in the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains. The location offers access to a wealth of outdoor activities, including skiing at the nearby Lecht Ski School, hiking trails, and fishing spots, all while being just a short drive from Inverness Airport and the amenities of Inverness itself.
The layout of this L-shaped bungalow comprises multiple living spaces ripe for transformation. With three reception rooms—including a family lounge featuring a multifuel fireplace and a dining room/library with a charming bay window—there is significant potential to reconfigure or modernize these areas to enhance functionality or aesthetic appeal. Each of the five bedrooms—including one currently utilized as a games room—provides generous floor space to accommodate various furnishing options, though they do require built-in storage solutions.
A well-sized kitchen lies at the heart of this home, equipped with essential appliances and ample room for informal dining; however, updating this space could dramatically improve its utility. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room with convenient access to an additional WC. The possibility exists for further enhancements throughout the property.
The exterior features wrap-around gardens, offering privacy thanks to established hedges. The enclosed rear garden provides a safe area for children and pets alike, while the large stone barn presents excellent development opportunities—it requires some work but has great potential as additional storage or even conversion into living space.
Tomintoul itself is characterized by its scenic beauty and abundant recreational options within Cairngorms National Park, making it an appealing location for both residents and visitors. Its proximity to Grantown-on-Spey also affords easy access to local amenities and services.
Overall, this property not only offers comfortable living but also boasts considerable potential for renovation or investment in a desirable Scottish village setting. An in-person viewing will provide further insight into its possibilities.
