Summary - CRANN FAIBHILE, DORNOCH, THE MOUND IV25 3JF
6 bed 6 bath Detached Villa
Private garden plot with garage and proven guest-house potential.
Six bedrooms, six bathrooms — three en-suite upstairs, one en-suite ground floor
Set within private, sizeable garden grounds near the A9, this six-bedroom detached villa offers bright, flexible living and proven B&B potential. The property suits families, retirees or hospitality buyers wanting a Highland base close to Golspie and Dornoch, while still feeling secluded. The layout places three bedrooms (one en-suite) on the ground floor and three further en-suite bedrooms upstairs, supporting either private multi-generational use or guest accommodation.
Practical features include full double glazing, multi-fuel stoves in the living and family rooms, a detached double garage with floored storage, and generous reception rooms with large windows. The kitchen is contemporary with built-in oven, hob and breakfast bar; utility and boot rooms add everyday convenience. The house was previously run successfully as a B&B (Beech Tree Lodge), so the layout and services already support short-stay trading.
Buyers should note several material points: ground-floor heating is oil-fired while the first floor uses electric heaters; the property drains to a private septic tank; broadband speeds are very slow; and the surrounding area is classified as very deprived. Council tax is in Band F, adding to running costs. These factors affect ongoing costs and connectivity and may be important for remote workers or those planning to expand a hospitality business.
With some updating and attention to heating and connectivity, the villa offers strong potential — either as a comfortable family home with generous outdoor space and parking, or as a countryside guesthouse on a popular touring route. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, garden privacy and flexible layout.
