Description

With only a handful of neighbours, Murphy’s Croft sits within an 11.87 acre site, with woodland providing shelter to the north and west. This enviable and secluded location allows one to fully appreciate the spectacular Highland scenery and enjoy the full spectrum of colours on display with the passing of the seasons.

As the name suggests, Murphy's Croft includes croft land which is subject to crofting legislation. The land on which the residential property is situated has been de-crofted, as shown on the site plan.

Accommodation

Murphy’s Croft is a two-storey property of modern construction, built in around 2008 and extending to approximately 217m2. In its current configuration the house provides a very attractive open plan living/kitchen area with impressive double height windows boasting fine views to the south east, a wood burning stove and plenty of space for entertaining.

There is a boot room/utility, sunroom, two bedrooms and family bathroom on the ground floor, while the first floor consists of a large master bedroom with balcony and en-suite including corner bath and separate shower, in addition to a small room currently utilised as a nursery but which would make a useful office or dressing room.

The property is double glazed throughout and benefits from mains electricity, oil-fired central heating and LPG gas range. Water comes from a private source located within the site while drainage is by way of septic tank.

Externally there is a large wraparound garden laid to lawn with an attractive covered south facing decked area perfect for entertaining. There is also a useful timber framed storage shed which houses the oil tank and fuel for the fire.
