Sunnyhill is a substantial Victorian stone house set on an elevated plot in Helmsdale, offering commanding views along the Strath and a large mature garden. The property retains many original features — high ceilings, deep skirtings, bay windows, stain glass and multiple feature fireplaces — giving immediate period character and strong curb appeal. Generous room sizes across approximately 2,120 sq ft include five bedrooms, large reception rooms and practical service spaces (pantry, utility, outbuildings and three garages). The house suits a family seeking space and character or a buyer wanting a renovation project with immediate usable accommodation.
The layout provides flexible living: formal dining and lounge rooms, a sun lounge (noted to need remedial works), a large kitchen with range cooker, useful utility with shower room and a ground-floor cloakroom. The gardens are fully enclosed with ornate entrance gates, extensive lawn and driveway parking for several vehicles. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and there is off-street parking and a large garage in good condition — useful for storage or a workshop.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The sun lounge requires remedial works; the property sits within an area described as very deprived and council tax is above average. The listing references a home report (EPC link) — prospective purchasers should consult the full home report and survey to establish the condition, services and any remedial or upgrading needs prior to offer.
Overall, Sunnyhill offers a rare combination of Victorian charm, generous internal space and external grounds in a coastal village with local amenities, transport links and outdoor recreation. It will particularly appeal to families wanting a character home or buyers seeking renovation potential with strong scope to enhance value and take advantage of the views and plot.
