On the northern shore of arguably one of the most famous bodies of water in the world sits Fern View House — a contemporary five bedroom property that enjoys an elevated position over the Loch, which is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker for offers over £900,000.
The Head of Residential at Strutt & Parker in Scotland, Kevin Maley comments: “Although it is not unusual for property to come to the market on the shores of Loch Ness, rarely do such exceptional homes such as Fern View House become available. The current owners in their extensive renovations have creatively changed the design of the property in order to maximise views over the world-famous loch, providing some of the best views in the Scottish Highlands.”
Said to have taken inspiration from the surrounding landscape, the house is designed in order to take in as much as the spectacular scenery as possible, with a free-flowing layout, generously large windows and a tiered terrace.
The ground floor is composed of a large open plan kitchen/breakfast area which as well as leading to the terrace outside, also joins onto to a room currently used as a playroom, but could make for a great separate home office or snug room.
One of the five bedrooms is also on ground level, but the most impressive room is the large sitting room with its huge floor to ceiling windows alongside two of the walls. A utility/'back kitchen' completes the downstairs living space.
The first floor is where you'll find the remaining four bedrooms — one of which (not including the master suite) is en suite, with the two smaller bedrooms sharing a bathroom.
The principle suite is something to behold – accessed via a separate staircase, the room faces over the Loch with French doors opening up to a private Juliet balcony. The dressing room also benefits from a smaller Juliet balcony which overlooks the terrace below.
Fern View House is currently on the market via Strutt & Parker for offers over £900,000 — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
