Description
The newly completed, self contained Bainstown Cottage Annexe is located to the side of the house and would make a fantastic granny annexe or provide a substantial additional income stream as an Air B&B property. This new build home has been finished to the same standard as Bainstown House and has a superb open plan lounge/kitchen which has a vaulted ceiling as well as a wood burning stove for those winter nights in. There are two tastefully decorated double bedrooms as well as a stylish shower room.
Accessed by a sweeping drive which leads on to a monobloc driveway with parking for multiple vehicles, the garden grounds are very well maintained and feature Caithness stone patios with areas of lawn with some stone borders. The double garage has an electric car charger to the exterior wall and this wonderful home also benefits from solar panels. To the rear is a large, extremely useful garden workshop with vehicle access which in itself is 150m2 in size as well as beautiful Swedish summerhouse with veranda and built in privacy screens. The summer house also has a further room which has a hot tub installed in it. Occupying three quarters of an acre plot viewing is essential to appreciate the size, quality and finishings that this super property has to offer.
The most northerly town in mainland Scotland, Thurso is a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside. There's plenty to see and do in and around the delightful town of Thurso. The town is a hive of lovely traditional shops, cafes, bars, and restaurants. There are good coach and rail links south. There are leisure facilities within the town, which include a cinema and a swimming pool, and outdoor pursuits include surfing, fishing, and yachting.
