Evanton, Dingwall, Highland, IV16 9XA

Set within an attractive traditional steading development and surrounded by the scenery of the Ross-shire countryside, Swordale Steading is a characterful three-bedroom home combining distinctive stone architecture with surprisingly generous accommodation extending to approximately 1,064 sq ft.

The property forms part of an appealing courtyard-style development, where traditional stonework, substantial arched openings and slate roofing create an immediate sense of character.

Behind the distinctive exterior lies a spacious and practical home arranged across two floors, complemented by enclosed gardens and an attractive countryside backdrop.

A central entrance hall provides access to the main ground-floor accommodation and houses the staircase to the upper level.

The lounge is particularly impressive in scale, with a dual-aspect arrangement allowing for excellent natural light.

Two large feature windows to the front sit within the property's characterful stone arches, while a built-in cupboard provides useful storage.

Across the hall, the kitchen/diner is arranged in an L-shaped configuration with a good range of workspace and plenty of room for a dining table and chairs.

Direct access to the rear garden adds to the practicality of the space, while an adjoining cloakroom/WC completes the ground-floor accommodation.

The first-floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The main bedroom is a particularly generous double and benefits from two built-in wardrobes.

Bedroom two is another sizeable room with built-in storage, while the third bedroom offers flexibility for family living, guests or use as a home office.

The family bathroom is fitted with a WC, wash hand basin and bath, together with the added convenience of a separate shower cubicle.

Outside, the enclosed front garden complements the traditional steading setting and combines a manageable lawn with an extensive low-maintenance gravelled area.

To the rear is a private and fully enclosed garden, predominantly finished in gravel and ideally suited to those seeking easily maintained outdoor space.

A timber storage shed is included, while beyond the boundary the outlook opens towards neighbouring countryside and mature woodland, providing an attractive rural backdrop.

Oil-fired central heating and double glazing complete the accommodation. Swordale enjoys a peaceful rural position close to Evanton, offering the appeal of countryside living without being isolated.

Evanton provides a range of everyday amenities, while Dingwall and Alness are both readily accessible for a wider selection of shops, services and facilities.

Inverness can also be reached by road, making the location practical for those commuting to the Highland capital.

For those looking to explore further afield, the property is particularly well positioned for access to the wider Highlands and the North Coast 500 (NC500) touring route, placing some of the region's most celebrated scenery and destinations within easy reach.
