Upper King Street, Tain, IV19 1AT

Set within a mature garden plot right in the heart of Tain, Morven is a detached, stone-built property full of traditional character. With high ceilings, bay windows, original detailing and a large rear garden, this is a home that offers space, charm and scope to make your own.

The house sits behind a small front lawn, bordered by stone walls, with a neat path leading up to the timber-clad entrance porch. Inside, the hallway offers a warm welcome, opening up into a series of generously sized rooms, each full of character features.

To the left, the sitting room is a calm and airy space with soft blue walls, grey carpeting and elegant white cornicing running along the high ceiling. A wide, decorative internal door frame adds a sense of occasion, while the layout offers plenty of space for a full suite of sofas and furnishings.

Across the hall, the dining room is just as expansive. A large, light-filled space with a beautiful front-facing bay window and a traditional fireplace with cream tiled surround. With its size and layout, it could also work equally well as a second sitting room or family room.

To the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen has a traditional, practical feel with light wood cabinets, white worktops and bold black-and-white flooring underfoot. A stainless steel sink sits beneath the window, with space for a freestanding cooker and washing machine. It’s great practical layout works well as-is, with plenty of scope for updating over time if desired.

Also on the ground floor are two separate store rooms, a smaller one housing the boiler and shelving, ideal for keeping household clutter and electricals, such as the vacuum cleaner, neatly tucked away. The second is a more generous space that could be adapted into a hobby room, utility area or small home office depending on your needs. A cream tiled ground-floor W.C. adds further convenience, perfect for daytime use or for visiting guests.

Upstairs, the layout includes two double bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate box room. The bathroom sits on the lower part of the landing and includes a blue suite with bath, basin and toilet, complemented by white walls and black-and-white flooring. An electric Mira Sport shower is fitted above the bath for everyday convenience.

The main bedroom is particularly generous, with a sloping ceiling and a large built-in wardrobe and storage unit fitted all along one wall. Neutral cream walls, soft grey carpet and a dark grey electric radiator complete the space. The second bedroom, also a double, mirrors the same cosy feel, with a sloped ceiling and window bringing in natural light. Also on the upper landing is a compact box room fitted with shelving - ideal for storing linens or for keeping seasonal items close at hand.

The rear garden is a standout feature. Generous in size, fully enclosed and surrounded by mature trees and shrubs, it offers a real sense of privacy. There’s ample lawn space for seating or play, along with plenty of potential for planting and growing. A greenhouse sits towards the back of the garden, ideal for nurturing vegetables, herbs or flowers throughout the year. Beyond the garden, a detached single-car garage offers excellent storage or could be used as a workshop. A tarmac driveway leads to the garage from the rear, providing secure off-street parking.

With 112 square metres of internal space, traditional features throughout and a garden that’s full of potential, Morven offers a rare opportunity to secure a character home in a central yet quiet location. The town’s amenities are all within walking distance, while Dingwall and Inverness are easily reached for wider services or commuting.
