Summary - CROIT GEAL, ACHAVANDRA MUIR IV25 3JA
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Spacious three‑bedroom cottage close to Dornoch and the championship golf course.
Elevated site with open views toward the Dornoch Firth
Set on an elevated semi‑rural plot with open views across farmland to the Dornoch Firth, this detached three‑bedroom cottage offers generous room sizes and substantial garden ground. The house sits a short drive from Dornoch town centre, Royal Dornoch Golf Club and the award‑winning beach, making it a peaceful base with convenient access to local amenities and outdoor recreation.
The accommodation is nicely proportioned across two storeys and includes a glazed porch, sun room, large sitting room with a Fyfe stone fireplace and log‑burning stove, dining room, kitchen and family bathroom. A private driveway from the A9 leads to a garage, car port and a cluster of outbuildings and greenhouses — useful for storage, workshop space or conversion subject to consent.
The property requires upgrading and modernising throughout. Heating is currently by a solid fuel stove, drainage is to a private septic tank, and the EPC is band F. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, so buyers should expect limitations for home working without investment in connectivity.
This house will suit buyers seeking renovation potential or a countryside retreat with room to landscape and restore. A careful budget for refurbishment, potential septic‑tank servicing/upgrades and energy improvements will be needed, but the location, scale and sea‑facing views present clear long‑term appeal.
