Summary - 7, SHANDWICK STREET, TAIN IV19 1BQ
3 bed 2 bath End of Terrace
Spacious three-bed home with garden and parking, close to town amenities.
Stone-built end-terrace with period character
Stone-built and full of period character, this end-terrace cottage on Shandwick Street balances traditional features with practical modern upgrades. The living room’s multi-fuel stove and the second ground-floor stove create a cosy atmosphere, while a modern fitted kitchen and a contemporary bathroom reduce immediate renovation needs. An integral store, garden shed and off-street parking add useful storage and convenience.
Upstairs provides two large double bedrooms with dormer and rooflight windows; downstairs a versatile room can serve as a dining room, family room or third bedroom. The metal spiral staircase is a distinctive feature that gives the interior character but may not suit all buyers’ tastes or mobility needs. Windows mix timber sash and modern double glazing for a period look with improved efficiency.
Practical considerations: the home is heated by an oil-fired system with the boiler housed in the garden shed, and the EPC rating is F (36). The exterior appears dated and the cottage has relatively low ceilings in places, so buyers wanting a fully modern finish should expect cosmetic updating. The house sits in an area with limited local prosperity, but benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and proximity to Tain’s shops, schools and amenities.
For first-time buyers or buyers seeking a characterful home with clear scope to add personal touches, this property offers good size, sensible layout and sensible immediate fixtures, offset by straightforward renovation tasks and running-cost considerations tied to oil heating.
