Property Description
ATTRACTIVE SEMI-DETACHED DWELLINGHOUSE WITH STUNNING MOUNTAIN VIEWS
Quietly situated on Old Ferry Road in North Ballachulish, North Ferry View is an attractive semi-detached dwellinghouse set within mature, landscaped garden grounds and benefiting from a detached garage. Enjoying majestic mountain views across Loch Leven, the property offers deceptively spacious and versatile accommodation, conveniently arranged over two levels, making it an excellent permanent family home. The accommodation comprises a generous lounge, separate dining room/fourth bedroom, kitchen/diner, sun room, three further bedrooms – one with an en-suite shower room – and a family bathroom. Presented in very good order throughout, the property also benefits from double glazing, oil-fired central heating and eight photovoltaic solar panels fitted to the front roof. Given its generous proportions and desirable location, North Ferry View would also lend itself particularly well to use as a holiday home or as an investment opportunity within the area’s buoyant rental market.
Situated close to Beinn a’ Bheithir, which offers a spectacular mountain ridge walk taking in two Munros and Sgorr a’ Chaolais, known as ‘The Dragon’s Tooth’, the property is ideally positioned for those wishing to enjoy the outstanding outdoor pursuits for which the area is renowned. Both Glencoe Mountain Resort and Nevis Range near Fort William are readily accessible, while a wealth of other activities – including golf, indoor ice climbing, Segway experiences, water sports and world-class mountain biking – can be enjoyed nearby, reinforcing the area’s reputation as the ‘Outdoor Capital of the UK’. Fort William lies approximately 11 miles to the north, with Glencoe around 3 miles to the south. Together with the neighbouring villages of Onich and Ballachulish, the surrounding area offers a good range of local amenities, including shops, a post office, hotels, pubs and restaurants. The well-regarded St Bride’s Primary School is also nearby, with secondary schooling available in both Fort William and Kinlochleven.
