Rowancliff is a spacious mid-19th-century detached home set on about 0.84 acres at the edge of Nairn. The house offers flexible accommodation over two storeys with three reception rooms, a large triple-aspect sitting room, kitchen/dining room, utility and generous built-in storage. Mature trees and extensive lawned gardens give privacy and scope for outdoor living, while a car port and single garage provide covered off-street parking.
The property has strong potential for a family looking for space or buyers seeking a renovation project. The extended layout—and original fabric of rendered stone and slate roof—means rooms can be reconfigured or modernised to create a substantial family home. Its long family ownership (about 113 years) underlines its historic character and solid construction.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks plainly: the EPC rating is E and the house will benefit from updating and modernization throughout. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal only average. Council tax is described as expensive. The wider area is classified as ageing rural neighbourhoods within older farming communities and has pockets of local deprivation; this influences local services and demand compared with more central urban locations.
Overall, Rowancliff suits purchasers who prioritise space, privacy and character and who are prepared to invest in upgrading services and interiors. Its edge-of-town position gives easy access to Nairn’s facilities while retaining a semi-rural feel, making it a good long-term family home or a renovation-for-value opportunity.
