At the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen has wood panelled walls, under-counter storage and space for all the necessary appliances, as well as doors opening onto the rear garden.

An elegant turned staircase leads from the welcoming entrance hall to the first floor landing, which has a skylight overhead welcoming plenty of natural light, as well as leading to three well-presented bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are doubles with dormer windows, with one featuring a walk-in storage cupboard. There is also a third bedroom.

The property sits in approximately 3 acres and is set back from the road with a parking area to the side of the lane providing space for several vehicles. The gardens and grounds are mostly to the front of the property, and feature areas of lawn, a gravel seating area for al fresco dining and a wealth of mature trees, hedgerows and established shrubs, with expansive, far-reaching views towards the towering peaks of the Highlands beyond. There are established fruit trees and fruit bushes including cherry, plum, damsons and
blackcurrants.

Easter Drummond lies to the south of Inverness in a countryside setting characterised by rolling hills, scattered woodlands, and expansive open spaces. Combining the rugged beauty and timeless enchantment of the Scottish Highlands. The Farmhouse is just a short distance from the scenic road to the shores of Loch Ness and is set in some of the region’s finest scenery at the foot of the Monadhliath Mountains. There are a host of activities for the outdoor enthusiast which include fishing, shooting, stalking, hill walking and bird watching. Located approximately 25 miles outside Inverness, the property would appeal to those looking for a rural retreat, yet is convenient for the city and the airport, which provides regular domestic and European flights.
