Mead Leys is situated at Smiddy Woods in the scattered hamlet of Blairninach near the popular spa town of Strathpeffer. Strathpeffer expanded with the arrival of the railway in Victorian times when visitors came to take the famous spa waters. Today the village is popular for its handsome architecture, sense of community and as a base from which to enjoy the area with its easy access to Inverness and the west and east coasts. The village has a small supermarket, highly regarded primary school, restaurant, hotels and a modern doctors’ surgery. The market town of Dingwall has a wider range of shops and amenities including an excellent secondary school while Inverness, about 20 miles away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.Mead Leys, a detached bungalow, has been owned by the same family since new. Although now requiring a degree of modernisation the property offers well-proportioned accommodation spread over a single level, with ramped access to the front door which has been designed, however, to be easily removable without detriment to the facade if not required. A light filled double aspect sitting room has a living flame LPG fire with surround, and as well as the open plan dining kitchen, has patio doors extending the sense of space into the garden and giving access to a paved seating area. The property was extended with the addition of a double glazed conservatory found off the snug/fourth bedroom which enjoys views over the garden into the neighbouring mature Sots Pine woodland.
