Set a short walk from Nairn’s seafront and town centre, this imposing Victorian detached house offers substantial family accommodation across three stories. With seven bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous reception rooms, the home suits a large family seeking period character or an investor exploring guest-house potential. The property sits behind wrought-iron gates with a private driveway and garage, and mature gardens to front and rear provide privacy and space for outdoor living.
Many original features remain — high ceilings, decorative cornicing, original timber doors and a hexagonal conservatory — giving the house strong period appeal. The layout includes a useful cellar housing the central heating boiler, a fitted kitchen with direct garden access, and a master suite with dressing room and en suite. The top-floor rooms offer flexible space that could be used as extra bedrooms or converted for other uses.
Practical considerations are clear and should be factored into any offer: the area scores as very deprived and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. The exterior shows some wear (ivy-covered stonework and age-related maintenance), and the house will require updating in places to modern standards. Flood risk is low and tenure is freehold.
Priced now £45,000 below the home-report value, the property represents a rare chance to secure significant square footage and period detail in a prime seafront-adjacent position. It will suit buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment or those seeking a characterful property with scope to create a profitable guest-house or multi-room family home.
