Strone Road, Newtonmore, PH20

Newtonmore is a traditional holiday village situated within the Cairngorms National Park nestling between the Cairngorm and Monadhliath Mountain ranges. The village has a village hall which hosts indoor events and two museums. There are an excellent range of recreational facilities with its own golf course, bowling green and tennis courts, as well as the popular “Wildcat Trail”, a 7-mile circular walk around the edge of the village incorporating the River Spey and the surrounding countryside.  The area also boasts splendid hill walking, water sports at Loch Insh, ski-ing on Cairngorm and fishing on the River Spey. There are also a good range of shops, hotels and restaurants in the village.

Primary schooling is available in Newtonmore (which also offers Gaelic medium education), and the High School is located three miles away in Kingussie. Also in Kingussie is a health centre, dental practice and community sports centre. Newtonmore is situated approx 68 miles north of Perth and 45 miles south of Inverness with direct links by rail and road.  The Cairngorm Mountain and Nevis Range ski areas are both within an hour’s drive. Inverness Airport is just over an hour away with direct flights to London or, alternatively, Edinburgh and Glasgow are around a two hour drive. A dedicated path/cycle way safely links the villages together and is well used.

“Teaghlach” is a substantial, 1.5 storey detached villa of generous proportions, built to a high standard, approximately 10 years ago.  It benefits from oil fired central heating, oak veneer doors, oak flooring on the ground floor and in the master bedroom, recessed spotlighting, two en-suite shower rooms and solar panels providing hot water. The property is located on an elevated site in the heart of the village and commands panoramic views over the valley and the Cairngorm Mountains. At the rear the property overlooks rolling farmland to the Monadhliath Hills, giving it a rural feel, yet local facilities and amenities are all within a 5 minute walk, as is the scenic Loch Imrich, a small loch situated just off the High Street in a secluded, woodland setting and where an array of local wildlife can be observed.  It is also within easy reach of Glen Banchor with its historic townships and beautiful mountain scenery.

Viewing of this highly desirable property is recommended in order to fully appreciate the sizeable accommodation and standard of finish in this comfortable family home.
