About this property

Ross House is a two storey architect designed contemporary finished upside down house to maximise one of the best and most idyllic uninterrupted views in Scotland.

Ross House has the added advantage that it sleeps 8 comfortably with 4 generous bedrooms and a large modern open plan dining, kitchen and lounge area.

Downstairs there are three bedrooms, one king size with ensuite shower and two twin rooms all with built in wardrobes.One of the twin rooms contains a wall mounted LED TV complete with Playstation to give the kids their own space and perhaps some space for the parents too! Downstairs also houses the boiler room which is a great drying area when needed. A large well finished family bathroom with an additional separate shower completes the downstairs.

The owners have provided plenty of books and kids games and toys to keep everyone amused.

Up the oak staircase to the first floor you will find the master bedroom with luxury ensuite, utility room containing the washing machine, tumble dryer with large integrated fridge freezer and the open plan living area. Through the rear door you can access the large decking area which benefits from the afternoon and evening sun.

The upstairs also comprises the well equipped kitchen, oak dining table which can seat up to 10 with comfort and the lounge. The lounge provides comfortable seating with two large leather sofas and occasional chair. A smart LED TV complete with Sky satellite HD with Sky Sports, Smart Blu-ray DVD with access to catch up TV and if you have your own Netflix or Amazon Prime account that is available too. There is also a wireless bluetooth speaker that is compatible with Apple AirPlay and Spotify Connect, ipod docking station and free wireless broadband.

A large modern balcony can be accessed from the lounge to allow you to take in the spectacular view of Badachro, Gairloch, or the Torridon mountains in the distance which are amongst the best views in Wester Ross.

Being a modern house Ross House meets all the new standards of modern insulation. Ross House is centrally heated comprising conventional radiators downstairs and underfloor heating upstairs. The lounge also has a fantastic wood burning stove!

Outside next to the garage the bike shed with bike racks accommodates 8 bikes and plenty of space for other sporting equipment.

We hope you enjoy Ross House and Badachro as much as we do!

About the host

Your host

Derek and I have been holidaying in the Gairloch area and in particular Badachro for over 20 years and our three not so young boys loved coming here and still do. When the opportunity came along to buy a plot of land and build we jumped at it. We wanted to build a property that could accommodate two families and or mum and dad, the kids and the grandparents so others could enjoy this idyllic place as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The property has a fantastic view across the Gairloch to the front and to the rear you can see Skye and the Torridan Mountains.

Badachro is an ideal base from which to tour the Highlands and to explore Britain’s most rugged and spectacular scenery. Activities are plentiful around Wester Ross whether it be sea or coarse fishing, bird watching, munro bagging, hill walking, golf, boat trips or exploring the white sandy beaches of Red Point, Opinan, Gairloch and Mellon Udrigle to name but a few.

Or perhaps you just want to sit in the Badachro Inn watching the world and yachts go by with a nice glass of vino or a pint of Scottish ale!
