Hazelwood Cottage, Tigh a’Phuirt, Ballachulish, PH49 4HN

Charming Detached Traditional Cottage with Loch & Mountain Views

Enjoying a delightful setting on the edge of the sought-after Highland village of Ballachulish, Hazelwood Cottage is an utterly charming, detached traditional cottage, full of character and nestled within its own attractive gardens, yet conveniently situated within walking distance of local amenities. Beautifully presented and maintained to an excellent standard throughout, this enchanting cottage combines traditional Highland charm with a number of thoughtful modern improvements. Double glazing and two contemporary wood-burning stoves, situated in the cosy lounge and welcoming dining kitchen, provide warmth and comfort throughout the property, complemented by two Wi-Fi-controlled Haverland electric radiators, offering convenient remote operation. The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, an inviting lounge, a stylish dining kitchen and a shower room, while a staircase leads to two charming bedrooms tucked beneath the roofline, reflecting the cottage’s traditional proportions and character. Recent improvements include the installation of a modern fitted kitchen with appliances and a wood-burning stove, partial rewiring and the installation of a new fuse box as part of the kitchen refurbishment, roof maintenance, external redecoration, the careful thinning of mature trees to allow additional natural light, and the installation of an alarm system. The chimney has also benefited from annual sweeping, with the septic tank emptied regularly as required. Outside, the gardens extend around all sides of the cottage, offering a peaceful setting with scope for further landscaping and personalisation, while an attached workshop/store provides useful additional space. Subject to the necessary consents, there may also be potential to extend the existing accommodation. With its appealing character, picturesque surroundings and manageable proportions, Hazelwood Cottage presents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a charming Highland home, an idyllic holiday hideaway as currently enjoyed, or an attractive investment in the popular self-catering or residential letting market.
