Description

A stylish three-bedroom property on the shoreline of Loch Leven, perfectly positioned to explore the stunning landscape and experience the outdoor activities of Glencoe.

Only a half-mile away from Ballachulish village, with its reputation as a year-round holiday destination with its idyllic location and diverse range of activities accessible from the village. Enjoy mountain views and picturesque bays as you cycle the Loch Leven Trail, a 21-mile circular route around the loch. Follow the Glencoe Geotrail (5 miles) to discover the history of glaciers and volcanoes that created the spectacular landscape. Take a kayak out on Loch Leven or visit the Glencoe Mountain resort for mountain biking and snowboarding. Head to Fort William (15 miles) to climb Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, or try white water rafting, gorge walking or canyoning to get the adrenalin flowing.

Superbly positioned on the banks of Loch Leven and surrounded by spectacular scenery, your holiday home is set on what was once part of the famous Ballachulish slate quarry and the Victorian boathouses and sheds dot the coastline around the house. Step through the front door into the entrance hallway where you can leave walking boots and wellies. Your stylish kitchen/diner with its slate floor and window overlooking the garden is a welcoming space to sit and enjoy a hearty breakfast or leisurely supper at the large dining table. Equipped with a cooking range with gas hob, electric oven, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, you have everything you need to easily prepare family meals. After supper, head through to the cosy main sitting room with sliding doors overlooking the shoreline, allowing you to enjoy the ever-changing scenery no matter the weather. Light the multi-fuel stove, put your feet up on one of the cosy sofas and spend the night chatting about the highlights of your day. On this floor, you will find the first of the three bedrooms, a pretty double room with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath, heated towel rail and WC. Head upstairs to the first floor and the cosy twin bedroom overlooking the loch. You have plenty of storage space and a luxurious en-suite shower room with drench shower and WC. Your magnificent master suite is truly sensational with a king-size bedroom with numerous Velux windows overlooking the loch and countryside. Double doors lead through to your private sitting room where double-height ceiling and endless glass looking out across the water creates a mountain chalet feel. Sit and enjoy the continually changing light across the landscape or watch the birds and wildlife along the shoreline. Indulge in a relaxing soak in your double ended bath in your bathroom with WC.

Watch the sunset during an al fresco drink on the terrace or breakfast at the garden table as the waves lap on the banks of the loch. Wander through the garden for a paddle in the clear waters or to stroll along the tranquil shoreline.

Please note there is a refundable £150 security deposit for this property payable closer to the start of your holiday.
