Seven Bedroom Detached Lodge With Extensive Grounds, Outbuildings And Rural Setting Near Inverness

Set within the peaceful and scenic surroundings of Gorthleck, Lynemhor Lodge is a substantial detached property offering extensive accommodation, generous land and a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. Extending to approximately 7.8 acres, the property combines internal space with outdoor potential, creating a home that offers far more than just square footage.
This is the kind of property that immediately gives a sense of scale from the moment you arrive. The setting is calm, open and naturally private, with the surrounding landscape forming part of the overall experience of the home rather than simply a backdrop. The approach leads you into a spacious driveway area, providing ample parking and access to the large detached garage and additional storage buildings.

Externally, the property has a traditional and robust construction, with rendered walls and timber elements that sit comfortably within the rural setting. The positioning of the home within its plot allows it to feel both connected to the land and set apart, offering uninterrupted outlooks across the surrounding countryside.
Stepping inside, the accommodation opens up into a layout that is both expansive and highly versatile. The entrance vestibule leads into the main body of the home, where the scale of the internal space becomes immediately apparent. The layout has been designed in a way that allows for both clearly defined living areas and a natural flow between rooms.

The main living room is a comfortable and inviting space, centred around a multi-fuel stove which provides both warmth and a strong focal point. The proportions of the room allow for a full arrangement of furniture without compromising on space, making it ideal for everyday living as well as more relaxed entertaining.
A separate dining room provides an additional reception space, complete with its own open fireplace. This room lends itself well to more formal dining or could equally be adapted to suit a range of uses depending on individual needs, whether that be a second lounge, a family room or a more dedicated entertaining area.

The kitchen is positioned to serve as the functional heart of the home, offering a large footprint with space for both cooking and dining. The layout is practical, with a clear separation between preparation areas and everyday use, while still allowing for a sociable environment. A separate utility area sits alongside, helping to keep the main kitchen space organised and free from day-to-day clutter.
Across the ground floor, the property offers an impressive number of bedrooms, providing flexibility that is rarely found in homes of this type. With five bedrooms on this level alone, the space can easily accommodate large families, multi-generational living or alternative uses such as home offices, studios or guest accommodation.

The property is served by multiple bathroom facilities, including two shower rooms, a main bathroom and an additional WC, ensuring that the home remains practical even at full occupancy. The distribution of these facilities across the layout supports both convenience and flexibility in how the space is used.
Moving to the upper level, a further two bedrooms and an additional shower room provide a more private section of the home. This upper floor offers a sense of separation from the main living areas below, making it particularly well suited for guest accommodation or a quieter living space. The elevated position also allows for wider views across the surrounding land and countryside, reinforcing the connection between the property and its setting.
The outdoor space is a defining feature of Lynemhor Lodge and one that significantly enhances its overall appeal. The land extends to approximately 7.8 acres and includes a combination of garden grounds, open areas, woodland and natural features.

The gardens closest to the property provide a manageable outdoor space that can be shaped and landscaped to suit personal preference, while the wider land offers opportunities for a range of uses. Whether that’s creating more formal gardens, keeping animals, developing outdoor leisure areas or simply enjoying the privacy and space, the potential is immediately clear.
Within the grounds, there is also a pond and a burn, adding both character and a natural element to the setting. These features contribute to the overall feel of the property as a rural retreat, offering an environment that changes with the seasons and provides a sense of tranquillity throughout the year.

The garage and additional outbuildings further enhance the practicality of the property. The double garage provides space for vehicles as well as storage or workshop use, while the additional structures offer further flexibility depending on requirements. This combination of internal and external space makes the property particularly well suited to buyers looking for more than just a standard residential setup.
In terms of services, the property is heated via an oil-fired central heating system supplying radiators throughout. Water is understood to be mains supplied, with drainage to a private septic system. The construction includes a mix of timber and concrete elements, typical of properties of its era, and the overall structure provides a solid base for future improvements or modernisation.

The Home Report indicates that while the property is fully functional, there is clear scope for upgrading and improvement in certain areas. For many buyers, this represents an opportunity rather than a drawback, allowing the home to be tailored and enhanced over time to meet specific tastes and standards.

This is ultimately a property defined by its potential as much as its existing features. The combination of internal space, land, privacy and location creates a rare offering within the market. Whether you are looking for a long-term family home, a rural lifestyle property or a project with scope to create something exceptional, Lynemhor Lodge offers the foundation to achieve it.
Properties with this level of space and setting rarely become available, and when they do, they tend not to remain on the market for long. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, setting and possibilities that this home provides. Contact Hamish Homes today to arrange your private viewing.
