Detached home in quiet village on edge of Scottish Highlands
Large detached home, ideal for families. Large garden, with plenty of space to sit and relax, or play games or jump on the trampoline. We have a greenhouse and some herbs, vegetables, fruit trees and bushes, which you are welcome to help yourself to, in return for some watering! Large well equiped kitchen, utility room, and double garage and driveway. 1 double bedroom, two large single bedrooms, one with bunk beds. A final room is used as a study but has a sofa bed in it. The large double also has an ensuite shower room. We have one pet - our beautiful cat Charlie, 4 years old. He is very easy going and easy to look after.
