1, Eskadale Cottages, Kiltarlity, Beauly, Inverness-shire, IV4 7JR

No 1 Eskadale Cottages is set in the grounds of Eskadale Estate close to Beauly. The property is in a stunning setting, with views over the River Beauly to House of Aigas and from the front over the idyllic boating pond shared with Eskadale House.

Once forming part of the extensive Lovat Estates, the area of Eskadale lying to the south of the River Beauly remains largely unchanged with its historic buildings, including St Mary’s Church, and leafy single track roads, and yet is within easy reach of Inverness, the west coast and the protected landscapes of Glen Strathfarrar and Glen Affric Nature Reserves.

The beautiful surrounding countryside remains peaceful and unspoilt, its dramatic inland landscape providing a haven for many rare species of plants and wildlife as well as offering world class salmon fishing on the River Beauly. The quiet countryside makes it an ideal area for cycling and hill walking, while the west coast, with its excellent sailing, is about an hour’s drive away. Kiltarlity is about 3 miles away and has a village shop, post office and highly regarded primary school, while nearby Beauly has a good range of independent shops and a railway station. Inverness, about half-an-hour’s drive from the property, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.

No 1 is a delightful, semi-detached cottage with well-laid out accommodation and retaining original features. The sellers have maintained the property well and recent improvements include opening up and redecorating the entrance hall, upgrading the porch and a new combi boiler.
