Burnhill is a handsome late Victorian house in the conservation, former spa village of Strathpeffer in Ross-shire. The property lies in a peaceful setting on an elevated site on the edge of the village with beautiful easterly views up the wooded strath.Strathpeffer expanded with the arrival of the railway in Victorian times when visitors came to take the famous spa waters. Today the village is popular for its handsome architecture, active community and as a base from which to enjoy the area with its easy access to Inverness and the west and east coasts. There is a small supermarket, highly regarded primary school, restaurant, hotels and a modern doctors’ surgery. The market town of Dingwall is just a ten minute drive away and has a wider range of shops and amenities including a modern secondary school, while Inverness has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.The surrounding countryside is varied and unspoilt from the Cromarty Firth coastline to the majesty of Ben Wyvis. There are several waymarked walks and cycle trails directly from the village including the Peffray Way which is just a short distance from the house.The property has been in the same family since 1980 and indeed, during its lifetime has had only four different owners. Although now in need of some modernisation, the house has been improved over the years and regularly maintained to create a comfortable and manageable family house. Typical in a house of this period, the accommodation includes well proportioned rooms, intricate cornicing and beautiful woodwork.The accommodation is over three floors and within this the option exists to create separate accommodation both in the rear wing bedroom suite, and in the basement which is currently a self-contained annexe.
