SCOTLAND

ROSS-SHIRE PRICE: £345,000

The railways brought the Victorians in droves to the Highland spa village of Strathpeffer for the healing effects of its springs. It is surrounded by wooded hills, and this elevated south-facing period house has views across both. Each of the three bedrooms has a decorative fireplace, there’s a huge bay window, and the kitchen is equipped with an Aga. Sit back with a Scotch and enjoy the glorious view.
