CKD Galbraith Reay House 17 Old Edinburgh Road Inverness IV2 3HF 01463 224343 [email protected] GENERAL Piperhill Farmhouse was built in late Victorian times for Cawdor Estate. It is beautifully presented; all the rooms being of good size with many having excellent views towards the Black Isle. The property was extended by the previous owner to include a study and master bedroom. The present owner has maintained the property in an exemplary fashion to form a desirable family house with tasteful decoration and many original features. It has an unusual layout with three staircases that works well in practice. It could be used for someone wishing to work from home, adapted to incorporate a separate ‘Granny Annex’ or for use as a fine family home. The property is economical to run, with full double glazing and roof mounted solar panels for electricity generation. This allows the present owner to enjoy the benefit of some free electricity and an income from the grid. The nearby conservation village of Cawdor has a village shop and post office, a new community centre, the Cawdor Tavern, highly regarded primary school and the famous castle. A greater range of facilities are available in Nairn (4 miles) with a choice of primary and secondary schools (the property is on the school bus route) and Gordonstoun independent school is 25 miles away. Inverness (15 miles) has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport (6 miles) with regular flights to the south and Europe. The Moray Firth is famous for its mild, dry climate and long sandy beaches and the beautiful surrounding countryside offers plenty of opportunity for leisure and sporting pursuits. Fishing, cycling, sailing and canoeing are all available nearby, while both the Cairngorms Mountains and The Lecht Ski Centres are approximately an hour’s drive away. Horse riding is also available with livery services offered by a neighbouring farm while behind the house, Piperhill Woods have way-marked walks and cycle trails.
