The premises comprise a large, detached property over 2 storeys, with a single storey projection to the rear. This single store element was until recently a bank branch and is selfcontained with its own independent access from the side.
The main 2 storey element comprises space for a lounge, kitchen, WC and dining room at ground floor level, with 5 bedroom s and a bathroom above.
The former bank is mainly an open plan rectangular shaped space which is bright and airy with plenty of natural light. It has a WC so plumbing for a shower or bathroom would be straightforward. The walk-in vault remains and offers plenty of opportunity to create a real talking point if used as a bathroom, wine cellar, gunroom etc.
Externally, to the front is a gravel area with an iron railing fence mounted on a dwarf brick wall. The rear is laid to lawn and enclosed with a timber fence.
Location
The village of Kinlochleven sits on the south eastern shores of Loch Leven with stunning views of the Mamore ridge.
Only 30 mins drive from Fort William and 2 hours from Glasgow, Kinlochleven is situated within Lochaber – now known as the “Outdoor Capital of the UK” – and has become a mecca for outdoor enthusiasts, due to the wealth of natural attractions and featuring as a key location in various events such as:
• the West Highland Way
• the Caledonian Challenge
• the Scottish Six Day Trials
• the Pre-65 Trial
Much of the villages expansion was due to the hydro plant and aluminium works during the early 20th Century - now home to the worlds largest indoor ice climbing facility (www.icefactor.co.uk) In addition there is excellent kayaking and fishing on the river and loch, golf, shooting, stalking, hill-walking and skiing all available virtually on the doorstep.
