Anvil House is a substantial three-bedroom detached Georgian property set in Helmsdale, offering generous living space across multiple reception rooms and a south-west facing sun lounge that opens to a private, walled garden. High ceilings, stone construction and traditional fireplaces give strong period character while modern kitchen fittings and a functional utility room provide everyday practicality for a family household.
The attached stone Smithy provides a rare outbuilding: double garage/workshop with first-floor loft space. With appropriate planning consents this building presents conversion potential for additional living space or a rental income stream. The property’s layout also hints at a former self-contained annexe (kitchen, rear porch and shower room) that could be reinstated.
Buyers should note the house is Category C listed; any alterations or conversions will require listed-building and planning approvals and could add time and cost. The location is rural within an agricultural community and local area services are limited, though Helmsdale offers basic shops, primary school and rail/bus links; larger services require travel. Broadband speeds are fast and council tax is described as affordable, but mobile signal is average and the wider area is classified as very deprived.
This home suits families seeking spacious, characterful accommodation with garden and workshop space, or buyers prepared to manage a listed property looking for refurbishment and development potential. The house is offered freehold with a home report and EPC available for review.
