This charming property, located on the edge of Muir of Ord in Ross-shire, Scotland, offers a unique stay in a former schoolhouse of the village. Nestled on the western boundary of the picturesque Black Isle, it is conveniently situated less than half a mile from essential amenities, including a local shop, bakery, fish and chip shop, restaurants, and a golf club. The property is also just 13 miles from Inverness, the Highland capital, providing a perfect balance between serene countryside and vibrant city life. Additionally, the iconic Loch Ness, famous for its legendary monster, is a mere 16 miles away, making it an ideal base for exploring the stunning Scottish landscape.
The interior of the property has been tastefully updated while preserving its traditional charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The ground floor features an open plan lounge, kitchen, and dining area, adorned with oak flooring, high ceilings, and stylish pendant lighting. The contemporary kitchen is well-equipped and contrasts beautifully with the antique dining table and chairs, making it a perfect spot for family meals. After dining, guests can relax on the comfortable sofas, enjoying a movie by the crackling wood burner, enhancing the cozy ambiance of the space.
Accommodations include a master king-size bedroom furnished with a wrought iron bedstead and ornamental fireplace, complemented by a modern en suite shower room. The spacious family bathroom on the ground floor is whimsically decorated with a quirky purple roll-top bath and a separate shower cubicle, adding a touch of character. Upstairs, another beautifully decorated bedroom awaits, featuring rich blue tones and an antique small double bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep for all guests.
Outside, the property boasts an acre of garden, perfect for al fresco dining during warm summer evenings, complete with a lovely patio set and garden furniture. Guests can enjoy evening drinks while watching the sunset or explore the expansive garden, which includes an unfenced burn that runs through it. Safety is a priority, as the garden is enclosed, preventing easy access to the nearby road, but supervision of children and pets is advised near the stream. This delightful getaway promises a memorable experience in the heart of Scotland's natural beauty.
