The property is in a beautiful position with spectacular views over a stunning, unspoilt landscape of woodland pasture and heather moorland.

Kiltarlity is about 3 miles away and has a village shop, Post Office and highly regarded primary school, while nearby Beauly is a prosperous centre with a good range of independent shops, cafes, a doctors’ surgery and a railway station.

Originally a modest farmhouse, Ardblair has been extended and upgraded to create a striking contemporary house. The semi open plan ground floor has spacious and light filled accommodation that flows from the impressive and beautifully proportioned sitting room and library, through to more intimate reception rooms, the dining kitchen with a double cooker and bedroom with adjacent bathroom. The first floor bedrooms, including a beautiful bedroom suite, are reached via two separate staircases, while the upper floor of the tower houses a studio sitting room which opens to the extensive roof terrace. External stairs from the roof terrace give the option to create self-contained accommodation.
