The main public room is 36 feet long with two triple sized windows to the loch view, several windows in the gable walls and a set of double glass doors which open out onto an elevated terrace extending along the whole front of the house. This room features a large, hand built stone fireplace and has the natural timber finishes found in all of the rooms in Clearwater House. The ground floor also accommodates the modern well equipped kitchen, with a window to the south and a half circle window to the east. The rear hallway leads to the downstairs double bedroom with an adjacent wc ; this bedroom is currently used as a home office.

The upper floor is accessed by a fine timber staircase leading to a spacious upper hall. The large windows in all three double bedrooms provide spectacular views of the sea loch. The largest of these rooms has an en suite bathroom; a further family bathroom with shower serves the remaining rooms and both have south facing double windows.

Following discussions with the planning authority, the current owners have established permitted development rights for the erection of a detached owner’s studio to the west of the main house. The studio will include a large kitchen/ living area and a bedroom with en suite shower room. Both rooms will have glazed doors emerging on to a low terrace and will face the sea loch. Further permitted development has been agreed for an extension to the south wall of the main house to create a 5m x 4m family room/morning room/dining room with windows on three sides and a new rear entrance to the house.

Clearwater House is an excellent family home but could also be a wonderful second home with lucrative income potential as a holiday let. At present, the house can accommodate 8 people. The erection of the detached studio would increase the capacity to 10. The house has been designed for permanent use and its current owners have lived here for over twenty years. However, its ‘dry’ central heating system with storage and panel heaters, means it can safely be ‘locked and left’ in the winter months if required.

The area

Roshven lies within one of ’s National Scenic Areas which are of “national scenic significance7.of unsurpassed attractiveness which must be conserved as part of our natural heritage.” (Countryside Commission for Scotland)

PAGE 3 The scenery surrounding Clearwater House ranges from mountains almost 3000 feet high to sandy and rocky sea loch shoreline, looking out to small islets and the uninhabited peninsula of Ardnish. As befits its conservation status, the views from the house are protected by planning policy. The beaches below the house and those nearby are ideal for canoeing, kayaking and windsurfing and there are moorings close by for larger boats. The surrounding hills have magnificent high level walks and there is a network of tracks over the former Roshven estate which provide easy low level walking.

Roshven is something of a wildlife paradise. Red deer graze in the fields below Clearwater House. Otters and pine martens are a common sight and badgers roam the local area at night. There is a tremendous variety of birdlife, both resident and migratory, from ducks, geese and herons to the magnificent golden eagle. The present owners brought up two Scottish wildcat kittens and successfully released them near Roshven. They were rewarded with a rare 18 year relationship with the female cat which was documented by the BBC. Her offspring now form part of the healthy wildcat population in the surrounding wild lands of .

Fishing and deer stalking are available by negotiation with local estates. The excellent inns nearby at and regularly serve local game and shellfish. Glenuig has a shop and post office on the bay and there are further moorings available from the Inn via the public jetty.

The railway station at Lochailort is only a five minute car journey away with its thrice daily service on the famously spectacular West line direct to Glasgow and onward to London. The last train connects with the overnight sleeper service in Fort William for London Euston.
