North Laggan Farmhouse, Laggan, Spean Bridge, PH34 4EB

Attractive farmhouse with adjoining charming cottage Situated in the rural community of Laggan in the Great Glen, North Laggan Farmhouse and The Steading offer a substantial and flexible property in an attractive Highland setting.

Combining a two-storey farmhouse with a separate adjoining cottage, the property provides a versatile arrangement which could suit a variety of purchasers, whether as a permanent family home, a home with independent accommodation for relatives, or as a property with potential to generate letting income.

North Laggan Farmhouse offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over two levels.

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch with utility room and cloakroom off, a welcoming hallway, dual-aspect lounge, farmhouse-style kitchen/diner with feature beams, separate dual-aspect dining room with wood-burning stove, and a shower room.

On the upper floor are two generous double bedrooms together with a spacious landing/study area. The farmhouse benefits from mixed glazing, lpg-fired central heating and photovoltaic roof panels.

Whilst some areas of the property would benefit from modernisation and updating, the generous room sizes and flexible layout provide considerable scope for purchasers to create a comfortable home to suit their own requirements.

Adjoining the main house, The Steading provides useful self-contained accommodation arranged entirely on one level.

With electric heating and double glazing, the accommodation comprises an entrance vestibule, open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, a generous double bedroom and shower room.

This additional accommodation lends itself particularly well to use as a holiday or longer-term let, guest accommodation, or independent living space for extended family.

The property is complemented by generous garden grounds extending to approximately 0.7 acres, providing plenty of outdoor space and including a detached double garage, garden shed and greenhouse.

The established grounds enjoy the rural surroundings and add considerably to the overall appeal and potential of the property. One of North Laggan Farmhouse's key attractions is its location.

Set amid the impressive scenery of the Great Glen, the property enjoys a peaceful countryside setting whilst remaining within reach of the area's main villages and towns.

Fort Augustus, approximately 10 miles away, provides a range of everyday amenities, while Fort William lies around 23 miles to the west and Inverness approximately 43 miles to the east.

The surrounding area is particularly well suited to those who enjoy the outdoors, with Loch Oich, the Caledonian Canal, the Great Glen Way and the Great Glen cycle route all within close proximity, together with an abundance of walking, cycling and other recreational opportunities throughout the wider Highlands.

Offering substantial and adaptable accommodation, separate self-contained living space and generous grounds, North Laggan Farmhouse and The Steading represent an interesting opportunity to acquire a sizeable Highland property with considerable flexibility and scope for future improvement.

Garden The property occupies a generous plot extending to approximately 0.7 acres, approached via a private tarmac and gravelled driveway which leads to the detached garage and provides ample parking.

A substantial garden shed is also conveniently located within this area. The grounds have a wonderfully natural and informal character, very much in keeping with the property's rural Highland setting.

Areas of mown lawn and pathways weave through more natural, rewilded sections of grasses and wildflowers, creating an attractive contrast while retaining the slightly wild feel of the surroundings.

Mature trees, established shrubs, bushes and varied planting provide colour, shelter and a good degree of privacy throughout the grounds.

Closer to the house is a superb paved patio, providing a fantastic area for outdoor seating and entertaining, together with a planted rockery and a mixture of paved and gravelled pathways connecting the various parts of the garden.

To the side, the grounds become increasingly wooded and natural, with a small stream running through the trees and adding considerably to the peaceful atmosphere.

The gardens enjoy a particularly quiet and secluded feel, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the countryside and offering plenty of space from which to enjoy the rural location.

While already full of character, the extent and informal nature of the grounds also provide considerable scope for further landscaping and improvement for those wishing to create more formal garden areas.

To the rear of the property is a useful lean-to and an additional small garden shed, while a fenced enclosure offers potential for keeping chickens or could be adapted for other garden uses.

Overall, the grounds are spacious, established and appealingly natural rather than manicured, offering an excellent opportunity for purchasers looking for a sizeable rural garden which they can gradually develop and make their own.
