The house is freshly decorated and neatly presented and offers flexible accommodation which comprise on the ground floor entrance vestibule, hallway, sitting room, kitchen/dining room, formal dining room, 2 bedrooms, bathroom, public room 3, utility room, shower room and rear porch. The upper floor has a shower room, a box room and 4 further bedrooms. All rooms on the upper floor have a fairly steep coombed ceiling. A very generous and mature garden area surrounds the property and this is under neat lawns and has a pretty natural burn with pond located in it. There is also a substantial workshop/garage located to the side of the house. From the property there are lovely open countryside views across to Ben Tianavaig, the island of Raasay and Ben Chracaig.
