The cottage benefits from double glazing and has a private water supply, septic tank for drainage and a solid fuel woodburning stove with back boiler for the central heating and hot water system.
This house in Clachaig, locally known as Glen Lean
Is one of those ones that just has to be seen.
With views of the hills you will see sheep, sometimes deer,
And there's salmon in the river at the right time of year.
Its even nice when it rains, but don't get me wrong.
When the sun is shining its there all day long.
Because it faces south and it's a fantastic sun trap,
Its great sitting out on the deck with a cool drink on your lap.
So why not call Janice and arrange a viewing date,
Because seeing it for real is better than photos, although they are great.
Its name Bonnyblink in Scots means a beautiful view,
You just never know it could be the house that's for you.
