OPPORTUNITIES to snap up a family home a stone's throw from the bonnie banks don't come around all that often.

That means you might have to move fast to have a chance of being the next owner of our latest Property of the Week.

The four-bedroom detached home is located on Tarbet’s Ballyhennan Crescent, which was built to house staff at the nearby Sloy hydro power station.

Estate agents Slater Hogg and Howison say: “Rarely available and situated in the most magical setting at the heart of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, is this delightful stone built detached chalet style villa with breath-taking views at the front overlooking the nearby mountain ranges.

“Ballyhennan Crescent was constructed in the mid 1950s to provide staff houses for the workers of the Scottish Hydro works at Loch Sloy - high above Loch Lomond.

“Individual properties within the crescent then started to be sold off in the late 1960s.

“This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to make your home in a world renowned and truly iconic location, with outstanding landscapes, habitats, and communities surrounding.”
