Glenorchy, a five-bedroom Victorian home on the edge of Strathpeffer, a conservation village in the Scottish Highlands, has been listed for sale. The property is on the market for offers over £375,000 through Galbraith.
Renovation and original features
The current owners purchased the property in 2019, when it was in a poor state of repair and had not been lived in for some time. Since then, the house has been completely renovated, with improvements including incorporating the previous annexe into the main house. The renovations have created a family home that retains original features such as timber finishes, cornicing, and fireplaces. The newly converted annexe could be turned back into its own unit for multi-generational living.
Accommodation and garden
The ground-floor accommodation includes an entrance vestibule, a front hall, a sitting room, a dining kitchen, an en-suite bedroom, a toilet, and storage space. Upstairs, there is a family room, a study, a bathroom, a box room, a dressing room, and the other four bedrooms. The garden spans more than 0.4 acres and is bordered by mature trees and shrubs. It has been landscaped with a terraced lawn, sheltered sitting areas, raised beds, and a gravel parking area.
