Auldhouse is a traditional stone-built detached cottage set in Laide, sitting peacefully on the southern shore of Gruinard Bay. The house offers flexible, open-plan living on the ground floor with a fitted kitchen, breakfast bar and cosy lounge with an open fireplace. Four bedrooms and a family bathroom provide straightforward family accommodation or letting potential. The property sits within enclosed garden grounds to the sides and rear, enjoying rural and seaside views and a private plot.
The home has character features – stone elevations, dormer windows and a slate roof – but it requires upgrading and remedial works throughout. Low ceilings and generally small room proportions reflect its period cottage style; modernisation will improve comfort and market appeal. Services include electricity, water and drainage; mobile signal is excellent though reported broadband speeds are slow. EPC rating is Band G.
This location suits buyers seeking lifestyle change, holiday-let investors or families wanting a rural base with outdoor access. The village supplies basic amenities and sits on the NC500 route, which supports visitor demand and holiday letting opportunities. The property is offered freehold with grounds that present potential for landscaping, extension or garden-orientated enhancement, subject to local planning.
Important practical points: there is only one family bathroom, the house needs renovation and remedial work, and the council tax is currently assessed on a holiday-let basis and will be decided on sale. Prospective buyers should factor upgrade costs and connectivity limits into their plans.
