The house has an elevated setting and was formerly the local ghillie s house for the neighbouring estate. The house provides modernised and comfortable accommodation on one level with spacious bedrooms and large living spaces, all of which take in the loch views. The front door is on the south side of the house and is set under a timber porch which leads into a hallway with the sitting room off to the left. The sitting room has a large window framing the breathtaking views and a timber floor with doors through to the second bedroom and kitchen. The sitting room is fitted with a gas (bottled) fire with tiled surround and painted timber mantelpiece. The kitchen sits to the rear of the house and is fitted with a range of country style base and wall mounted units with a timber worktop. The sink has a window above overlooking the wild garden to the north. Appliances include an Indesit fridge/freezer, Electrolux electric oven and grill with hob, Teba extractor fan over, freestanding John Lewis dishwasher and Philco washing machine. Beyond the kitchen and through an archway is a corridor/boot room with double doors leading into the bright and spacious conservatory which is currently set up as a sitting/dining room. The room is glazed on all three sides and has double doors out to the side patio. The master bedroom is situated to the east end of the house and is a bright and spacious room with fireplace (not known to be working).

The second bedroom is located off the sitting room and also has breathtaking views over the loch. Outside To the west of Boathouse Cottage is a driveway large enough for several cars. A timber gate opens into the grounds of Boathouse Cottage where there is a pretty stone bridge over one of the burns running through the grounds. A path leads round to the front of the house passing the conservatory to an area of lawn with rhododendron bushes by the front door. Towards the eastern boundary of the grounds is a woodland path leading to a flat area where there is a useful store with corrugated iron roof. Behind the shed the gardens sweep up the slope above the house to the north. This area is a haven for wildlife with mature trees and rhododendrons. Burns to both the east and west trickle through the garden to the loch below. A paved area wraps around the back of the house passing a coal shed and there are stone steps which lead up into the wild garden. The patio by the bridge provides excellent space for outdoor dining and is adjacent to one of the burns by the stone bridge. The lochside garden The lochside garden sits to the south side of the house and stretches over 100 metres along the loch. There are grassy banks sloping down to the loch and a there is a large flat area where the boathouse sits.
