Glenmore House is an attractive country farmhouse of traditional stone construction, enjoying an enviable coastal position amidst the spectacular scenery of the Ardnamurchan Peninsula, with far-reaching views towards Loch Sunart.
The property has been sympathetically renovated and upgraded to create a warm and comfortable home whilst retaining much of its traditional Highland character. Modern improvements include an air source heat pump providing underfloor heating throughout, together with roof-mounted solar thermal panels which assist with hot water production. An open fire in the living room provides an attractive focal point and adds to the welcoming character of the house.
Arranged over two levels, the accommodation is both generous and versatile. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance vestibule leads through to a bright country-style kitchen/diner, with ample space for family dining and entertaining. A separate formal dining room provides further entertaining space, while the comfortable living room with open fire offers an inviting place to relax.
A particularly attractive feature is the bright sunroom, positioned to make the most of the garden and surrounding scenery, with French doors opening directly onto an attractive patio area. Completing the ground floor are a practical utility room, cloakroom and plant room.
The split-level first floor provides four generous double bedrooms, two with en-suite shower rooms, together with a family bathroom featuring a spa bath.
Gardens & Grounds
Glenmore House is set within approximately 0.8 acres of mature, secluded and south-facing grounds, enjoying wonderful views across the surrounding countryside towards Loch Sunart.
A mature beech hedge provides privacy and shelter, with extensive lawns surrounding the house, and displays of daffodils and fruit blossom adding colour throughout the spring. An established orchard features a variety of apple, plum and pear trees, while the gently sloping grounds open up the impressive coastal outlook.
French doors from the sunroom lead onto a patio to the front, while a second patio to the rear creates a sheltered courtyard with a stone-built barbecue, providing an ideal setting for alfresco dining and entertaining. A wood store is also located to the rear.
The gardens are particularly attractive to wildlife, with a variety of native and visiting birdlife alongside regular sightings of pine martens, badgers and hedgehogs, adding to the property’s wonderful sense of connection with its natural surroundings.

Glenmore House is currently operated as a highly regarded self-catering holiday property, benefiting from an established reputation and a proven history of repeat bookings.
