Description
Craigellachie House is a charming, period property dating back to 1820, nestled in the heart of Newtonmore. Originally built as a coaching inn, it has been lovingly transformed into a spacious, L-shaped detached home with a versatile layout over three floors, complemented by a separate detached building that currently operates as a hostel, offering additional income potential or alternative uses. The house retains many original features, including a feature fireplace and stove in the sitting room, which flows into a home office, and a dining room with views to the front. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-equipped with ample space for dining and a rear porch providing access to the mature gardens. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, one with an en suite, a study, and a family bathroom, while the top floor offers two further bedrooms, one with an additional store room. The detached hostel building boasts an open plan living space with a kitchen, dining, and living area with a stove, three shower rooms, two wcs, and three bedrooms. The property is set back from the road with a gravelled driveway providing ample parking and leading to a rear garage, and the garden is a delight, with level lawns, mature trees, a summer house, and space for al fresco dining. Newtonmore offers a range of local amenities and is well-placed for accessing the wider Highlands, with the A9 providing connections to Inverness and beyond, and the local train station offering regular services to various destinations. This property is a unique blend of history, character, and practicality, ideal for those looking for a home with additional income opportunities or space for family and guests.
