Description

Skalva is a 3 (potentially 4) bed traditional stone built cottage with a large double garage and authentic Scottish bothy. Situated in the village of Halkirk, this property is one of the original corner cottages built shortly after the village was planned in 1803. Notably, Halkirk was the first planned village in Scotland. The cottage is L-shaped with 3 bedrooms and one bathroom at one side, and the lounge, kitchen, WC, snug and sun room at the other. The largest bedroom was previously 2 separate rooms and could easily be changed back as the original door still remains. There is parking for at least 4 cars on the driveway and more in the double garage. The garage has power and water and is joined on to the beautifully originally stone bothy. The garden is substantial with a slate terrace, lawn, green house and established plants all round. Heating is oil supplemented by a multifuel stove in the lounge and another in the bothy.
