Old Schoolhouse lies on the A887 in the small village of Invermoriston in the Great Glen. This area is famous for its breathtaking scenery, associations with Loch Ness and the Caledonian Canal, and its proximity to Inverness, Fort William and the Isle of Skye. Away from these popular centres though, the beautiful countryside remains unspoilt and tranquil, providing a haven for wildlife and offering excellent sporting and leisure opportunities. The property lies a short distance away from the junction of two of most of the attractive sections of the Great Glen Way. As well as the traditional rural sports of fishing, shooting and stalking, the Nevis Range Ski Centre near Fort William offers year-round activities. Nearby Fort Augustus has a good range of shops and amenities as well as schooling up to secondary level. Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.<br/><br/>Old Schoolhouse, a handsome granite-built property which dates circa 1870 was purchased by the current owner in 2010 who carried out a complete renovation and extension in 2012. The 1950’s canteen was remodelled and linked to the Schoolhouse in 2016/17 and is now zinc clad and houses the principal bedroom suite including a dressing room. The result is an impressive and visually striking house, a mix of the old and new with a contemporary interior, yet sympathetic to the buildings origins and with great attention to detail. The accommodation has bespoke fittings and furnishings of the highest quality, and the abundance of glazing produces a light filled interior and takes full advantage of the views over the garden, the Glen and the River Moriston.<br/><br/>EPC Rating = D<br/><br/>
