Two-bed rural cottage offering character and renovation potential near Invergordon.
Traditional stone cottage with period character and open countryside views
Set in a quiet rural pocket of Shandwick, this traditional stone-built end-terrace cottage offers a straightforward renovation project with strong countryside character. The house currently provides two bedrooms, a lounge with an open fire, kitchen, small ground-floor office and a bathroom upstairs — a compact layout well suited to a small family, holiday retreat or buy-to-let once updated.
The property already has double glazing and electric heating but needs a full internal and external refurbishment: cosmetic and likely mechanical works are required throughout, and visible weathering to stonework and timber suggests some external maintenance. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average — important considerations if you need reliable connectivity.
Outside, the cottage has small front and rear lawns, a gravel driveway to the side for off-street parking and uninterrupted views over neighbouring arable fields. The plot is modest in size but easily manageable; the setting is peaceful and within commuting distance of Invergordon, Tain and Inverness. Local facilities and schools are available in the nearby towns.
This property is best for someone with experience of renovation or a clear vision to refurbish and modernise. It represents potential for uplift through upgrading services, interior reconfiguration and cosmetic improvement, but buyers should budget for comprehensive updating and check drainage arrangements (septic tank).
