DESCRIPTION
‘Druimard’ is undoubtedly one of Portree’s premier properties standing on a prominent elevated site commanding open uninterrupted views across Loch Portree and towards the Cuillins. This charming Edwardian house is indeed one of Portree’s grand original houses and dates from circa early 1900. The house was totally refurbished in 2005 to an extremely high standard whilst retaining its desirable Edwardian period features. ‘Druimard’ is of traditional stone construction with red sandstone quoins under a pitched slate roof and occupies a generous area of garden ground extending to 0.33 of an acre or thereby. The house benefits from Upvc double glazed doors and windows, an oil fired central heating system, completely new kitchen, bathrooms and flooring and tasteful wallpaper and decoration in keeping with the style of the property. The very pleasing original features include the wide 4 panel doors, high ceilings, picture rails and cornicing. The sellers have successfully managed to blend the traditional feel of the house with contemporary design and convenience. The accommodation within comprises :- Entrance vestibule, reception hall, drawing room, dining room, open plan dining/kitchen/family room, utility area, rear hallway and cloakroom on the ground floor. The upper floor is approached by an impressive wide stairway and comprises spacious landing area with 4 bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a bathroom. Within the garden grounds there is a garage block presently housing a ‘Beauty therapy suite’ and car space with storage loft. There is also a detached self-catering unit with its own private access and this would be ideal for letting purposes or perhaps as a ‘granny flat’.
LOCATION
‘Druimard’ occupies an elevated location centrally placed in the popular town of Portree and is within easy walking distance of local services.
