Ballmorlich, Tomintoul, Ballindalloch, AB37 9HD

Ballmorlich Cottage is a characterful traditional home enjoying an exceptional rural position beside the Bridge of Avon and the River Avon, just outside Tomintoul and within the Cairngorms National Park. Set within mature garden grounds and surrounded by woodland, open countryside and rolling hills, the cottage now seeks a new custodian and, while clearly loved over many years, would benefit from some updating and attention to realise its full potential. Entry is into a welcoming hall with timber staircase rising to the upper floor. The principal sitting room is a wonderfully atmospheric space, with a substantial exposed stone wall and fireplace creating a strong focal point, while a second reception/dining room provides further flexible living space and features its own fireplace with stove. The kitchen is fitted with a generous range of timber units and worktops, with ample room for a table and everyday dining, and there is also a useful utility with WC, wash hand basin and laundry facilities. Upstairs, the accommodation includes a spacious double bedroom with attractive outlooks across the surrounding greenery, together with additional flexible bedroom accommodation. Outside, the gardens are a particular feature, extending around the cottage with broad lawns, mature trees, established shrubs and informal planting creating a private, almost woodland setting. A substantial timber workshop/outbuilding provides excellent storage or hobby space. The setting is truly special, with the historic stone bridge and river close at hand and immediate access to some of the most beautiful scenery in the National Park.
