A well-presented two-bedroom detached bungalow set in open countryside with direct views across the sea. The single-storey layout, south-facing garden and large lounge with multi-fuel burner suit downsizers or those seeking a quiet coastal retreat. The house was recently upgraded: re-roofed in 2020 (extension has 25-year rubber roof), many windows are triple-glazed and a high-quality Ashley Ann kitchen with a seven-ring gas stove has been fitted.
Practical features include LPG central heating, a Megaflow water tank for good pressure, a useful utility room, and a block-built garage with power and light plus off-road parking. One bedroom benefits from an ensuite; the family bathroom is fully tiled. Early entry is available and the asking price is shown as £10,000 below the home report value.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the EPC rating is F, broadband speeds are very slow and the property sits in a very deprived, remote area where some amenities require a drive. Despite good mobile signal, services such as secondary schooling, hospital and wider shopping are around 16 miles away in Wick or Thurso. Buyers should also note the property’s council tax band is low but travel costs and rural running maintenance should be considered.
