Occupying an elevated position behind low-level stone walling, the property is approached through double iron gates over a sweeping tarmacadam driveway and forecourt. A gravelled side parking area has adjacent five bar gates opening to further parking and a double garage with attached store (both have power connected to them). The generous front garden is laid mainly to gently-sloping lawn interspersed with mature trees and featuring a well-stocked rockery. To the rear the well-maintained enclosed garden is laid mainly to level lawn. It features a large gravelled terrace area and a detached triple aspect summer house with French doors to a covered terrace and adjacent paved and decked terraces to two aspects, the whole ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining and enjoying far-reaching views over surrounding countryside.

Known as the “Walking Centre of Scotland”, Newtonmore village offers independent shopping, a Co-op, hotel, restaurants, primary schooling, and a riverside golf course. The small town of Kingussie provides local shopping, restaurants, pubs, and secondary schooling. Extensive shopping, leisure, and entertainment facilities are available in Inverness. The surrounding countryside and its proximity to Aviemore and the Cairngorms offer outdoor pursuits including fishing on the rivers Spey and Calder, both running through the village, hill walking, rock climbing, abseiling, whitewater rafting, cycling, mountain biking, skiing, climbing, and sailing. Despite its scenic Highland location, transportation links are excellent: The A9 travels north to Inverness and south to Perth and beyond, Newtonmore station offers regular trains to major regional centres with onward links to London, and Inverness Airport offers domestic and international flights.
