Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this charming one-and-a-half storey detached home, set in a beautiful rural location and enjoying an idyllic setting surrounded by stunning countryside. Extensively renovated to modern building standards in 2010, this delightful property offers character, warmth and peaceful country living. Only a few minutes from the stunning Strathy Beach and a variety of woodland walks, the house is ideally situated to enjoy the very best of rural living while remaining close to some of Caithness and Sutherland's most beautiful natural attractions.

Internally, the property is beautifully presented and full of traditional charm. The welcoming lounge is a cosy and inviting space, featuring an attractive cast iron fireplace set within a wooden surround and Caithness flagstone hearth, while dual aspect windows flood the room with natural light. The country-style kitchen is well equipped with solid wood units, a Belfast sink, Rangemaster cooker and attractive Caithness flagstone flooring, creating a wonderful space for everyday family life. Also on the ground floor are a spacious double bedroom with a charming original fireplace and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Upstairs, there are two bright and generously proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from dual aspect windows which maximise the natural light and take full advantage of the surrounding rural views. The first-floor landing also offers useful built-in shelving, adding practical storage.

Externally, the property is set within attractive garden grounds extending to approximately one third of an acre. The gardens provide an excellent balance of lawn, seating areas and established planting, with a delightful summer house and adjoining patio offering the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Adding further character is a traditional ruinous stone building, formerly used as a village shop, which presents excellent potential, subject to the necessary consents. The property also benefits from a shared byre with power and additional storage, with one half belonging to the property and the remaining half owned by the neighbouring croft owner, making it ideal for workshop space, hobbies or general storage.
