This stone-built semi-detached cottage blends Victorian character with recent practical upgrades, offering spacious family living across 1,453 sq ft. The house has three double bedrooms (one en suite), two reception rooms with log burners, and an extended modern kitchen opening to an enclosed rear garden — comfortable and ready to move into.
Recent mechanical and window upgrades reduce immediate maintenance: a Grant oil-fired boiler was fitted in April 2022, all windows replaced November 2022, and both stoves professionally installed in 2022. The property also benefits from double glazing, a detached garage with power, off-street parking for two cars and a lawned rear garden, all just a short walk from a sandy beach and close to Dornoch’s amenities.
The cottage suits growing families or those seeking a permanent coastal home with flexible living space and character features (slate hearths, pine-clad ceilings). There is scope to improve or personalise the large family/dining room and garden; parking could be expanded on the front hardstanding if required.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired (Grant boiler) so fuel costs should be considered, and the property sits in a small rural community with limited local shops — Dornoch is nearby for fuller services. The home report shows category 1 for all items, indicating no significant structural or safety defects reported.
