The property further benefits from double glazing and electric central heating. Externally, the home sits within generous, secluded garden grounds with off-street parking, backing onto woodland and enjoying outstanding open views to the front. Whether you are searching for a permanent residence or a Highland retreat, Balnagowan Cottage presents a rare opportunity to create a truly special home in a highly desirable setting.
