2 DESCRIPTION This is a unique, rarely available opportunity to acquire, close to Inverness city centre, a detached stone built farmhouse which comes complete with stone built steading, manège and land with superb opportunity for development or small holding. The lounge is a nicely proportioned, double aspect room with attractive open fireplace providing a pleasing focal point. The dining/ family room is another lovely room with multifuel stove. The owners have drawings showing a proposed extension to the accommodation and whilst planning is not in place, the potential is there and the drawings can be viewed at the property upon request. The steading lies adjacent to the farmhouse and has had previous full planning permission and building warrant for conversion to three holiday lets. Whilst this has recently lapsed, there is good development opportunity to earn extra income or alternatively conversion to a separate dwelling house (subject to Local Authority consent). If the requirement is more for a small holding, this property could be ideal as the steading incorporates various stores and stable and there is

3 a manège to the side with further land to the rear of the farmhouse included in the sale. All in all this property has endless possibilities and must be seen to be fully appreciated.
