ACCOMMODATION: Built in approximately 1880 this property served as the village school and head masters house until as recently as 1980. The property was thoroughly upgraded and refurbished between 1997 and 2003 creating a stylish family home full of character, with the added benefit of a business opportunity. The property benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating throughout. The house kitchen has been passed and approved for commercial food preparation. The former school was converted by the present owners to provide guest accommodation that has been skillfully separated from the owner’s accommodation. Guest rooms are operated on a self-catering basis with breakfast items being provided for use in the purpose built kitchen, this has proved to be very popular with many returning guests and rising occupancy levels. All seven bedrooms have delightful views to Loch Long and there is a loch-side front garden plus private car parking. Website: www.schoolhousedornie.com.
