About this property

Perfectly positioned across the crystal waters of Loch Broom, from the picturesque town of Ullapool is The Ben, a single storey cottage boasting an open-plan interior, and traditional features combined with a modern touch. Approach the property from the main road, down a single track lane for a few miles along the pretty banks of Loch Broom. You will feel welcomed by the small garden area across the drive from the front of the cottage, a delightful spot to sit out with a refreshing drink and admire the charming, scenic vistas stretching far across the luscious countryside. This quiet, remote area oozes peace and tranquility, offering a reviving break to fully charge your batteries. Step through the small vestibule and into the open-plan living room which boasts a sitting area, dining area and fully fitted kitchen. Completed with neutral, coordinating colourways, Sky TV and an electric fire mounted on the wall, this space occupies a comfortable formation for relaxing and engaging with each other amidst a calm exterior setting. The ample storage areas are for your convenience, whilst the two bedrooms on offer; a king-size double and a single bed with pull-out stacker bed, are served by a modern shower room presented in gleaming all-white overtones. Rhiroy is a hamlet situated across from Ullapool about 12 miles away, whilst Inverness can be reached within an hour and a half's drive. Take in the stunning surroundings this bustling town can offer, from pubs and restaurants, to an assortment of shops, there is plenty to do. Why not practice the art of golf, or explore the local museum? There is much to learn about the area. Enjoy the delights of the north-west of Scotland from The Ben. EPC Rating: Band E
