5 Newmore - The Whole, Muir of Ord, Ross-Shire

5 Newmore extends to approximately 22.39 acres (9.06 ha) in total and comprises a detached cottage, large steel portal framed shed, grazing grassland and amenity woodland. The property is for sale as a whole or in two lots as follows:

Lot 1 - 5 Newmore
Lot 1 extends to approximately 17.53 acres (7.09 ha) and comprises prime grazing grassland, a detached three bedroom cottage and a large modern agricultural shed. The land is graded 3.2 by the James Hutton Institute and includes a well-established block of amenity woodland providing excellent shelter for livestock.

The original croft house has been sympathetically renovated and extended in 2012 creating a spacious and comfortable family home. The property benefits from renewable systems including solar panels and a ground source heating system providing energy efficient living throughout the year.

The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen, which features a vaulted ceiling with skylights overhead, wooden flooring, a Scandinavian-style logburner and French doors opening to the gardens. The kitchen has fitted units, a central island with a breakfast bar while there is also space for a comfortable seating area. There is an additional dining room on the ground level, as well as three bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage. The ground floor also has two family bathrooms, one with an over-bath shower and the other with a freestanding contemporary bathtub and a separate walk-in shower.

Upstairs there are two attic rooms (used as additional accommodation and a study) with southeast-facing bay windows, while the study also features skylights, welcoming plenty of natural light and affording far-reaching views across the beautiful landscape.

The house sits within a generous plot with a gravel driveway providing ample parking and the gardens are laid to lawn and meadow, with mature trees creating a tranquil and secluded setting. Within the garden grounds sits a modern steel portal framed shed (about 14m x 6m) with a concrete floor providing excellent storage/workshop facilities.

Lot 2 - Land at 5 Newmore
Lot 2 comprises about 4.86 acres (1.97 ha) of permanent pasture sitting at about 120m above sea level. The land is graded 3.2 by the James Hutton Institute and has potential for development (subject to applying for and gaining the necessary consents).
