Bob's Highland Retreat is up for sale. I'm not a huge fan of very large houses, but this has a cosier air than you'd expect.
Anyone fancy chipping in?

It's doesn't really look like a home, more like a fancy hotel. The greenhouse is nice.

I’d love a greenhouse like that 😍

@scottishskifun Band H naturally 😁

The kitchen looks so out of place , it looks like it belongs in a 3 bed semi ! .

Howtohideasausage · 14/07/2023 22:34

It’s like a French Chateau.

Florissante · 14/07/2023 22:36

That's one of the three kitchens. I imagine the main kitchen is grander.

jollygreenpea · 14/07/2023 22:44

I thought the kitchen was in a gate house or a cottage on the estate, I'd be very happy in one of those.

It would be eye wateringly expensive the running and maintenance of the main house.

purpleros · 14/07/2023 22:47

gardens are nice. Some of the rooms in the main house remind me of The Shining.
Red Rum 🤣

It is very nice, I have stayed there.

There is a fire extinguisher in the corridor and, if you click on street view, you get a 360 tour of the corridor and one door has a fire exit sign above it. It really does look like a hotel.

ElizaB22 · 14/07/2023 22:58

The main kitchen is much grander, that one in the pictures is in one of the cottages

Sugarfree23 · 14/07/2023 23:00

11 bathrooms - image trying to keep them clean

In this cost of living crisis all I can think is how hard it would be to heat lol

User10486743 · 14/07/2023 23:01

I doubt Bob went round with his loo brush and marigolds😂

MairzyDoats · 14/07/2023 23:02

Ooh it's not far from my in-laws so ok, I'm in. Grantown distillery is awesome. It needs some work to be cosy though

ICouldHaveCheckedFirst · 14/07/2023 23:04

ElizaB22 · 14/07/2023 22:50

Tell us more! How? Why? Do you know Bob?
@Billybagpuss - I lived in a house with a greenhouse just like that 😊.

Thats what DH said 🤣🤣🤣

What a dull and staid decor. Zero personality

If it was near my in-laws it would be a no from me even if they were giving it away.

dearJayne · 14/07/2023 23:18

It looks like it would smell foosty.

HaveYouHeardOfARoadAtlas · 14/07/2023 23:21

Does he currently still own it or did it used to be his a few owners ago? Not even sure if he’s still alive actually!

SweetAsIcedChocolate · 14/07/2023 23:46

Very much alive DN saw him in concert fairly recently. He is touring atm.

BitOutOfPractice · 14/07/2023 23:46

It’s a beautiful house but for Bob? Very lacking in any style at all. I’d say it’s a snap for £3mill though.
