Location Map
DESCRIPTION
This most impressive house occupies an elevated location from which there are truly superb panoramic views across to Glenelg, Knoydart, Mallaig and down the Ardnamurchan Peninsula. Dunneil offers a high standard of living in a beautifully presented and architecturally designed space. The house dates from circa. 1960 and was totally refurbished and redesigned in 2000. The layout allows for full appreciation of the excellent views and benefits from Upvc double glazed doors and windows, an oil fired central heating system, contemporary fresh internal decoration and relatively new plumbing and electrical systems. A glazed front door opens into an impressive open plan reception hall incorporating both dining room and kitchen. There are four bedrooms on the ground floor, on having full en-suite facilities, one with an en-suite WC and wash hand basin and one situated close to the main family bathroom. The room presently used as an office would make a large fourth bedroom or family room. The stunning sitting room is situated on the upper floor and is very generously proportioned with French doors leading out onto a large decked balcony from which to enjoy the breathtaking views. A neat fully enclosed garden with parking area surrounds the property and an attached garage is located to the side.
