The Dower House is a handsome Victorian house on the fringes of Newtonmore, a popular village in the Cairngorms National Park. The property has been upgraded by the current owners and is now a well maintained and beautifully presented house set in landscaped grounds.The Cairngorms National Park was established in 2003 to protect its beautiful and unspoilt landscape and promote a balance between nature and the community. Local attractions include mountain activities, cycling, skiing, water sports, fishing and bird watching on the Insh Marshes RSPB reserves. Aonach Mor (Ben Nevis), Rothiemurchus, and Aviemore Ski and Activity Centres are nearby and offer recreation throughout the year, while Newtonmore and Kingussie both have excellent 18 hole golf courses.Newtonmore has a good range of shops and amenities including a main line railway station, bus service and primary school, with secondary schooling available in Kingussie. Inverness, about an hour’s drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.The current owners purchased The Dower House in 2011 and since then have carried out considerable improvements to create a beautifully presented house retaining many original features and gardens. The work has been carried out over a number of years to allow each stage to be completed to the highest standard and wherever possible traditional features have been retained or restored, these include original woodwork, picture rails, and cornicing. The double glazed windows were replaced six years ago. A biomass boiler has been installed 10 years ago, providing an affordable and efficient heating system which produces an income through a Renewable Heat Incentive.The sellers began the B&B in 2016 and now have three letting rooms and The Calder self-catering apartment which has recently been fully renovated. The B&B runs seasonally with high levels of occupancy and 50% direct bookings, however, the house is at its heart a family home that offers letting bedrooms which is part of the appeal to many guests.The Calder apartment is self-contained but can also be accessed internally from the main house dining room. The apartment has extremely comfortable, disabled accessible accommodation. Currently a popular holiday let, the apartment
