Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this superb country cottage which is full of character and charm in an elevated position overlooking Loch Watten. This splendid stone and slate-built cottage offers flexible and comfortable living over one level and would make a splendid family home.

This wonderful property has been upgraded by the present owners and benefits from a spacious family lounge with triple aspect windows as well as a cosy multi fuel stove that sits on a Caithness Flagstone hearth. A further reception room is currently used as a family room and has an original open fire. There is an attractive white painted kitchen which has base and wall units with integral appliances and space for a table and chairs. With six well presented bedrooms, two family bathrooms as well as two shower rooms and utility rooms, this property has everything to offer.

Formerly a shooting lodge, this lovely period property has been split into wings and would also make an ideal bed and breakfast or holiday let.

Externally the gardens to both front, side and rear are well maintained and laid to lawn with some flower borders and Caithness Flagstone boundaries. There is also chipped offroad parking for multiple vehicles.
Ideally located just a five-minute drive in to the nearest village of Watten, this property is close to Watten Primary School and the convenience store. There is a restaurant, a community centre and is well known for its fishing loch. There are good coach links North and South with further facilities being found in both Thurso and Wick, which are a short distance away.
