Description

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. Viewings are strongly recommended, so contact Hamish Homes today to arrange yours and explore everything this unique property has to offer.
