There is a lockable outdoor shed, to allow for safe storage of bikes or rods as well as an extensive garden area, great for a children in the Summer months!

Within the immediate area you will find a Tesco (located just over a mile away), while still having the escape of being located next to stunning fields and countryside.

The River Spey and Findhorn are so close by, that this property would provide a fantastic base after daily sessions on the riverbanks.
