Situated in an enviable elevated position, overlooking the Kyles of Sutherland to the Struie Hills beyond, Kennic Cottage is a substantial 1 ½ storey, four bedroom, detached family home (there is the possibility of creating a fifth bedroom on the ground floor by converting part of the very large open plan living space at modest expense and minimal upheaval). The property is very well presented and provides generous family accommodation and excellent storage facilities. Set in 3/4 acre of ground, Kennic Cottage enjoys an elevated, south facing position in a semi-rural location of complete peace and tranquillity. Accommodation is spread over two floors and includes a generous glass fronted sun room taking full advantage of the magnificent open views. The property benefits from oil fired central heating, condensing boiler, a wood burning stove on a Caithness stone hearth in the lounge and a solid fuel Rayburn with back boiler in the kitchen. All windows on the ground floor are triple glazed and those on the first floor are double glazed. A spacious double garage provides excellent parking and storage. The stunning, open views from this property are far reaching and really must be seen to be appreciated.
