4 Bed Character Property For Sale

Spectacularly situated in a prime elevated location on the outskirts of the picturesque township of Dornie, Suidhe Ban is a detached 4 bedroom character property which enjoys stunning panoramic views westwards down Loch Alsh to the Cuillin of Skye, at the point where three lochs meet, and to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle from the garden grounds. Built in the 1930’s by Dr Graham, a successful doctor from Birmingham who counted the Cadbury family amongst his clientele, the garage was erected first to house his ‘Rolls Royce’ Silver Ghost. He and Mrs Graham lived in a studio room above the garage whilst overseeing the house build.   A striking feature of this handsome bespoke property is the surrounding garden grounds, which extend to approximately 3.5 acres and are well planted with mature trees and shrubs. This unique property is a rarely available opportunity to purchase a generously proportioned home in an unparalleled location. The mature garden grounds offer income potential from the erection of holiday cabins, shepherd huts or pods (subject to planning). The mature garden grounds, with their many secluded magical places, including a Scottish burn (stream) with an arched stone bridge, offer income potential from the erection of holiday cabins, shepherd huts or pods (subject to planning).
