Nestled on the fringes of the charming village of Newtonmore, this handsome property is a beautifully presented home set within meticulously landscaped grounds.

Phiddy Robertson, handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith, said: “Combining period elegance with contemporary comforts, The Dower House is a truly special property in the Cairngorms National Park, one of Scotland’s most beautiful locations.

“The current owners introduced a successful B&B operation, offering three elegantly appointed letting rooms alongside The Calder, a newly renovated self-catering apartment. However, at its core, The Dower House remains a welcoming family home, with the letting rooms simply complementing the property’s character.”

Extensive renovations to enhance and preserve the home’s period charm have been carried out to the highest degree. Original features such as intricate woodwork, picture rails and ornate cornicing have been carefully retained or restored.

Double glazed windows were replaced six years ago, and a biomass boiler, installed a year ago, provides an efficient and environmentally friendly heating system, which also generates income through a Renewable Heat Incentive.

On entering the main house, there is a welcoming and spacious entrance hall leading to the large dining kitchen, living room and dining room which offer wonderful Highland views.

Upstairs, there are four en suite double bedrooms and a home office.

The self-contained ‘Calder’ apartment can be accessed both externally and internally from the main house’s dining room. Fully accessible, the apartment has proven to be a highly sought-after holiday let. However, its adaptable design means it could also be used as a residential rental or seamlessly incorporated into the main house as additional living space. The apartment also benefits from its own enclosed garden and patio.

The Dower House sits within 0.91 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. A well-maintained lawn, edged by a herbaceous border, leads to a mushroom garden featuring carved tree stumps and soft fruit.

Raised vegetable beds cater to those with a passion for gardening, while a flagstone sitting area and a raised deck with a wood-fired hot bath provide idyllic spaces for relaxation.

Adding to the property’s appeal is a Bertsch Holzbau timber-framed garden cabin, currently used as a workshop but with potential for conversion into a summerhouse or studio. Further outbuildings include open-fronted wood and general stores, as well as two 7kW electric vehicle charging points, ensuring The Dower House is well-equipped for modern living.

Established in 2003, the Cairngorms National Park is renowned for its unspoiled beauty and commitment to balancing nature with community life. Newtonmore provides an excellent base for outdoor enthusiasts with activities such as hiking, cycling, skiing, water sports, fishing and birdwatching. Rothiemurchus and the Aviemore Ski and Activity Centres are all within easy reach, offering year-round adventure opportunities.

Newtonmore itself has a range of shops, amenities and excellent transport links, including a mainline railway station and a bus service. Inverness, just an hour’s drive away, provides further connections with its airport offering regular flights to the south and Europe.
