Station View is a traditional stone cottage set in the coastal village of Embo, a short walk from sandy beaches and about three miles from Dornoch. The house offers generous internal space (around 1,200 sq ft) across two floors, with two double bedrooms upstairs and a large kitchen, living room, utility and shower room on the ground floor. Practical features include full double glazing, oil‑fired central heating and an open fire in the living room.
The gardens wrap around the property with easy‑care lawns to the front, side and rear, giving scope for family outdoor use, simple landscaping or further gardening projects. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working or holiday let guests. The layout is straightforward and ready for immediate occupation while still offering scope for cosmetic updating and energy improvements.
Important points to note: the property has an EPC rating of F, so buyers should expect to invest in insulation, heating or other energy upgrades. Council Tax is band A (noted as expensive relative to local incomes) and the wider area is described as very deprived, which may affect long‑term capital growth. The living room fireplace is currently covered over and some modernisation would unlock more of the cottage’s character and value.
This home will suit a family seeking coastal village living, a first‑time buyer wanting a spacious starter home, or an investor looking at a buy‑to‑let in a popular holiday area. Viewings will reveal a solid, traditional property with immediate functionality and clear potential for improvement to reduce running costs and enhance appeal.
