Lower Baniskirk

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this country cottage located on the outskirts of Halkirk.  This character home internally is in need of some modernisation but offers flexible and comfortable accommodation over one level.  Internally there is a lounge with an attractive Fifestone fireplace and a family room which also has an open coal fire.  The fitted kitchen has maple base and wall units with freestanding appliances.  A new heating boiler was installed on 1st November 2023.  There are three bedrooms, one of which benefits from built in wardrobes.  The bedrooms are all in good decorative order. The family bathroom is also  well presented and benefits from an original  cast iron bath. 

Externally the property has a stone built byre which can be used for storage and there is off road parking in the private driveway.  There is an enclosed garden to the front of the property with flowers and an area of lawn to the rear. The grounds extend to approximately one third of an acre in size and benefits from scenic countryside open views as well as oil central heating. 

Located in Baniskirk , the property is close to the riding school, and just a three mile drive in to the village of Halkirk.  In Halkirk there is a primary school, a church, a convenience store, hotels and a takeaway.  Further facilities can be found in Thurso which is an eight-mile car journey away.
