Newmill Farmhouse is a substantial four-bedroom Victorian stone farmhouse presented with many traditional features and spacious rooms across two storeys. High ceilings, cornicing and an exposed-stone fireplace with wood-burning stove give strong period character, while the dining kitchen with modern fittings and an oil-fired Rayburn combines practicality with charm. The home sits within a large, well-maintained lawned garden with timber summer house, sheds and ample gravel parking for several vehicles.
Set in a peaceful hamlet near Auldearn and within easy reach of Nairn and Inverness, the house offers semi-rural living with coastal leisure and good local amenities close by. The plot feels private, bordered by mature hedging and countryside views, making it appealing for families seeking space and a countryside lifestyle. The property appears structurally sound and externally well cared-for, with scope to modernise or extend subject to consents for added value or adaptability.
Buyers should note practical limitations: the EPC rating is E and heating is via an oil-fired Rayburn, broadband speeds are slow, and mobile signal is average. Council tax is described as expensive and the surrounding area is recorded as very deprived, which may affect running costs and resale dynamics. Overall, this is a characterful, family-oriented farmhouse with strong garden, parking and location benefits, but some modernisation and energy-efficiency work may be needed.
