Bridge House is an outstanding contemporary property looking out over the Black Isle, just over two miles from Munlochy and under ten miles from Inverness in the Highlands.
The house was completed in 1998 and fuses modern building knowledge, including a heat exchange system and a central vacuum system on each floor, with the charm of features built in the traditional style including flagstone floors and a superb inglenook fireplace.

Double doors connect the drawing room and the panelled dining room. The ground floor also has an en-suite double bedroom.

The garden is principally to the south; the paved terrace features a herb garden, and six raised beds form a vegetable garden. Fruit trees have also been planted. To the west is a further patio which has views of the wooded glen beyond.
The property also has a paddock which has some good mature oaks and a field shelter. At the centre is a chambered cairn which is a scheduled Ancient Monument. To the west is a wooded glen with a burn, which is carpeted with bluebells in the spring - the grounds come to six acres.
Bridge House has a secluded setting, although Inverness is nine miles distant and Munlochy village just over two miles; Inverness Airport is only 17 miles. The local area is renowned both for its natural beauty and sporting opportunities, from shooting to skiing and sailing.
