Ardgowan House at Achandunie, Ardross, enjoys an elevated position amidst beautiful countryside, with far reaching views over the surrounding farmland and the Cromarty Firth, and towards Ardross Castle.   Much of the filming takes place in the castle grounds and on some of the local estates and it isn’t unusual to see the film crew out and about or catch glimpses of the local area on the programme itself.

This impressive family home, built in 2000, was designed to take advantage of the wonderful setting and offers well-presented and spacious accommodation throughout.

There are five bedrooms (two with en suite shower rooms) plus three reception rooms, spacious dining kitchen, office, store room, utility room, WC and family bathroom.

Phiddy Robertson of Galbraith, who is handling the sale, said: “This is a beautiful home which has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life, with a wealth of reception spaces, two offices and useful ground floor bedroom. The setting and the gardens are particularly attractive, providing great privacy and tranquillity but only five minutes from Alness.”

The landscaped mature gardens are mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with trees  and shrubs and with mown paths. There are flowerbeds with colourful plants and paved pathways linking the patio seating areas. Useful outbuildings include a double garage with power, lighting, and attached garden store plus a greenhouse, polytunnel and a double glazed, timber summer house with power and lighting.  The property extends to 1.74 acres in all.

The town of Alness is about five minutes by car (2.2 miles), while the city of Inverness, with its wide range of amenities and airport, is about 45 minutes.

The first ever celebrity version of The Traitors will be broadcast this autumn, with an all-star cast taking on the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal.

Ardgowan House  is for sale through Galbraith for Offers Over £525,000.
