Property description

Swallow Cottage is a charming stone built cottage, located within the small hamlet of Balgowan, on an elevated site and enjoying spectacular views over the valley to the surrounding mountains.  Balgowan is approximately 1 mile away from the village of Laggan and 6 miles from Newtonmore.  There are local amenities within Laggan, such as the  village shop, community hall, primary school, church, hotel and a number of other small tourist related businesses.  The popular forestry commission \"Wolftrax\" centre, approximately 2 miles away, offers over 20 miles of purpose built cycle trails winding through the forest as well as a superb tea room and cafe.  Further shopping and leisure facilities can be found within Newtonmore and Kingussie (approx 9 miles).

 

In immaculate condition, Swallow Cottage is set within generous garden grounds and enjoys views from every window.  It benefits from UPVC double glazing, calor gas central heating, exposed stone walls, modern kitchen and bathroom and floored loft with windows, power and light.  The garden grounds have been professionally landscaped with seating areas, low maintenance plant beds and borders and have a gravel parking area at the rear.
