This well-maintained two-bedroom stone cottage sits in the small coastal hamlet of Embo, just yards from a long sandy beach and a short drive to Dornoch. The house combines period character — bay window, slate hearth and pitched pine staircase — with modern conveniences: fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, induction hob, en suite bathroom and a mains rain shower in the ground-floor shower room. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting holiday-let bookings or remote working.
Practical strong points include a large garage, gated off-street parking, decked rear area and oil tank. The layout offers flexible use: a generous ground-floor lounge with multi-fuel burner, a ground-floor double bedroom and first-floor principal bedroom with en suite. The current owner also owns No.12 and could sell both properties together, creating an income opportunity subject to necessary consents.
This cottage has holiday-let potential but any short-term letting requires the appropriate documentation and local consents. The property is Freehold, about 1,066 sq ft, and sits in an ageing rural neighbourhood with limited local services — buyers should expect a quiet community and assess local amenity access. Flood risk is low and council tax is cheap, which supports running costs for a second home or let.
Overall this is a straightforward, characterful coastal cottage for those seeking a seaside home, a potential holiday income stream, or a downsized permanent residence. It is largely move-in ready but buyers should confirm permissions for holiday letting and note the rural location when considering long-term access to services.
