Completing the ground floor is a further king-size bedroom, a spacious spot complete with good wardrobe storage and is served by a sleek ground-floor bathroom, ideal for grandparents or those who find stairs a little challenging. The master suite can be found on the first floor, where a plush duvet and quality linens drape across the sumptuous king-size bed, ensuring that sleep comes easy, whilst the third and final bedroom boasts a twin bedroom, complete with its own en-suite shower room. At 3 Croftside, the garden has been designed as an extension of the house itself, boasting a large enclosed lawn area where the children and canine companion are free to play, whilst you light up the barbecue to enjoy a spot of alfresco dining during a balmy summer evening. Better acquaint yourself with your surroundings further as you walk into the centre of Aviemore, where you will be spoilt for choice by the selection of takeaways, pubs and restaurants that await you, as well as the historical landmark of Aviemore Ring Cairn and Stone Circle, dating back to 2400 BCE to delve into the town’s fascinating past. Whilst here, an afternoon can be spent on a journey along the Strathspey Steam Railway, a scenic 10-mile ride taking you through breath-taking countryside, with the option of afternoon tea for a truly unique experience. Promising to be another wonderful day out for the entire group is Rothiemurchus Highland Estate, with a 13th century castle to explore, as well as a number of outdoor activities including clay shooting, quad bike adventures, fishing, pony trekking and a tree zone challenge, there is certainly something for everyone here!
