Thistle House is located in Loch Ness View, Inverness, Scotland, and is currently listed by Strutt and Parker for offers over ÂŁ680k.
“Thistle House is an exceptional property combining modern living, contemporary design and breath-taking scenery,” states the listing.
“It commands an elevated position on the edge of the idyllic village of Dores on the East shore of Loch Ness, around six miles south west of the city of Inverness.
“This magnificent home forms part of an exclusive development of only seven detached homes constructed in 2010 and enjoys far reaching views over the mysterious and beautiful Loch Ness and beyond.
“Arranged over two levels and providing around 3132 square feet of light and airy living space, the layout is extremely flexible and versatile. One of the many fantastic design features of Thistle House is the space for entertaining as well as cosy family occasions.
“A gated driveway leads through the lush, landscaped garden grounds to the side of the house leading to the garage. Access to the house is through the entrance vestibule leading to a welcoming hallway. Internally the beautifully appointed rooms embody sophisticated style with carefully chosen furnishings in natural hues and tones.
“All of the front facing rooms have spectacular views across the Loch and this includes the sitting room, which opens up into a magnificent sun-room. With its stunning views, this is the perfect place to relax and unwind. There is a wc/cloak, storage, home office/study, drawing room and dining room.
“The well-appointed kitchen comes with a great selection of wall and base storage units, centre island, integrated appliances, Rangemaster and granite worktops. The utility room is located off the kitchen and there is a further door leading to an integral double garage.”
In Scottish folklore, the Loch Ness Monster or Nessie is a creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large in size with a long neck and with one or more humps protruding from the water.
Popular interest and belief in the creature has varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with a few disputed photographs and sonar readings.
