Number 5 The Stables is a delightful two bedroom semi-detached cottage in the very popular village of Balmacara, occupying an enviable position from where expansive spectacular mountain and Loch views are afforded.

5 The Stables is a deceptively spacious two bedroom semi-detached property located on the shore of Loch Alsh. The property is a short walk from all amenities and facilities the village has to offer and would make a fantastic first time buyers property or comfortable family home. 

The accommodation within comprises: entrance hallway, kitchen, lounge and bathroom on the ground floor and two double bedrooms on the first floor with ample built in storage available throughout. The property benefits from electric heating and UPVC double glazing and interlinked smoke alarms have been fitted.

Balmacara is a picturesque and friendly village surrounded by hills and woodland hosting many walks. The accommodation has been designed to allow all windows to absorb and take advantage of the ever changing dramatic scenery.

Located directly off the A87 the property is set back from the road with a pretty garden to the rear from where there are widespread open views across Loch Alsh towards the Cuillins and the Skye Bridge. There is off road parking available at the front of the property.

Number 5 The Stables provides a wonderful opportunity to create a lovely family home and also makes for an ideal first time buyers property.
