A traditional stone-built semi in the heart of Dornoch, St. Mungo offers characterful, flexible living across 1,045 sq ft. Original features such as exposed beams and a slate-surround fireplace with a multi-fuel burner combine with recent upgrades including an air-source heat pump and double glazing. The house currently functions as a comfortable two-bedroom home with a large first-floor family room that could serve as a third bedroom or home-office.
Outside, a terraced rear garden and raised decking provide pleasant rooftop views toward the Dornoch Firth. Practical extras include a garage with power and light and a gravel driveway, useful for storage or a workshop. The layout includes a useful utility room and separate shower room on the ground floor, making day-to-day living easier for downsizers or those seeking single-floor convenience with additional upstairs space.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is band E, so further works would improve energy efficiency; council tax is band C and above-average locally; and the wider area records high deprivation metrics, which may concern some purchasers. Ceiling heights are modest in parts of the house and the plot is terraced rather than expansive, so this is best suited to buyers seeking a characterful town cottage rather than a large garden estate.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful cottage in a desirable seaside town, offering flexible accommodation, practical outbuildings and sea-firth views. It will suit downsizers, retirees or buyers wanting a comfortable holiday-base close to beach, walks and Royal Dornoch Golf Club, while recognising the need for some energy improvements and the local socio-economic context.
