Traditional 3-Bedroom Highland Cottage Surrounded By Woodland, Just Moments From The Shores Of Loch Mhor

Set against a backdrop of woodland and located just moments from the banks of Loch Mhor, An Clachan offers a rare chance to own a charming traditional cottage in a truly idyllic Highland setting. With generous gardens, classic cottage styling and original features throughout, this detached home combines timeless character with rural peace.

At the front of the home, a slim yet light-filled porch creates a buffer from the elements and is a practical space to store coats, boots and other outdoor items. Constructed in uPVC with a polycarbonate roof, it’s a useful addition that suits the cottage’s rural location.

Inside, the sitting room brings together period charm and comfort. Original wooden ceiling beams, painted white, nod to the home’s heritage, while a wood-burning stove set on a red hearth creates a warm focal point. The layout is generous, with space for a full lounge setup plus a dining table and chairs to one end. A deep front-facing window allows natural light to pour in and neutral walls with a soft grey carpet help maintain a calm, welcoming atmosphere all year round.

The kitchen blends country style with practical touches. Cream base and wall-mounted cabinets sit beneath a sloping ceiling, paired with dark laminate worktops and a backdrop of white tile splashbacks. A stainless steel sink sits below the window, while integrated appliances include an oven and gas hob. A large radiator keeps the space warm and underfoot, wood laminate flooring adds a clean, durable finish. A back door opens directly to the garden, ideal for taking breakfast outside or bringing in firewood on colder days.

Also on the ground floor is a generous double bedroom with neutral décor and a warm-toned carpet. The room includes a blocked-up fireplace currently dressed with an electric stove heater for effect with and a built-in wardrobe on the opposite wall. A small alcove with shelves adds function and charm. This works as a good size ground floor bedroom, but could also be suitable as a second sitting room, hobby space or home office.

Upstairs, the landing connects to two comfortable double bedrooms, each with dormer windows bringing in natural light and views of the surrounding countryside. One bedroom includes three built-in storage cupboards for convenience.

The bathroom makes smart use of the space, with a full-size bath fitted with a mixer shower above and protective screen to the side. White tiles surround the wet areas, while wooden flooring adds warmth and contrast. A frosted window provides light and ventilation above the radiator while a compact cabinet beneath the hand basin offers useful storage for everyday essentials.

Outside, the property sits within well-established garden grounds that include lawn, mature trees, paved seating areas and natural shrubbery. Whether you’re tending plants, hosting summer gatherings or simply enjoying the peace, the setting is quiet and serene. Two external outbuildings, one stone-built and one concrete, both include power and lighting, making them ideal for workshops, hobbies or storage.

With a private LPG supply, efficient heating system, timber fencing and a hardstanding driveway, the home offers practical advantages that support easy rural living. Located within commuting distance of Inverness yet surrounded by Highland scenery, An Clachan is a retreat that balances charm, lifestyle and location.
