We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Lodge 8 is a charming two-bedroom Chalet located in a quiet wooded area just a few minuets’ walk from picturesque village of Aultbea which nestles on the shore of Loch Ewe in the West Coast of Scotland.
The property represents an ideal holiday home for someone looking for a quiet tranquil retreat which is within walking distance of all the excellent village facilities and offers excellent letting potential.
The property has recently been refurbished throughout, to include re-wiring, new electric heating windows, bathroom and kitchen.
Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this idyllic location and deceptively spacious property.

The Chalet sits within a very generous plot which extends to the stone wall. The plot is mainly laid to grass with mature trees and bushes providing a good degree of privacy.
The veranda to the front of the property provides an ideal venue for al fresco dining or where you can sit and enjoy the sunshine in your peaceful surroundings.
There is also a small storage unit, and a tarmacadam drive way provides ample space to park/turn.
