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
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a charming detached bungalow on the outskirts of Invermoriston, set within the breath-taking Scottish Highlands.
With three double bedrooms, generous secluded gardens and a truly scenic setting, this delightful home offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity for those seeking peaceful countryside living.
Balnagowan Cottage, originally dating back to the 1850s and once formed from two separate properties, retains a wealth of period character including exposed ceiling beams and a cosy wood-burning stove.
While the property would benefit from cosmetic updating and some modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers to enhance and personalise a traditional Highland home to their own tastes and requirements.
Importantly, significant works have already been carried out, including the installation of a new roof and woodworm treatment, providing a reassuring starting point for further improvements.
The accommodation comprises a welcoming hallway, a spacious kitchen/sitting room centred around the wood-burning stove, a conservatory enjoying garden views, three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
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.
Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the location, charm and potential on offer.
Directions: Heading west on the A82 towards Invermoriston, take the right turn signposted for Darroch View B&B. Follow the shared driveway past the B&B to the private parking area.
