Description

Situated in a well-established garden plot at the centre of Tain, Morven is a detached stone property brimming with traditional character and renovation potential. The home features high ceilings, bay windows, and original detailing that provide a solid foundation for future updates. A large rear garden adds to the appeal, presenting ample space for outdoor improvements or landscaping to enhance privacy and utility.<br><br>Approached via a small front lawn enclosed by stone walls, Morven greets you with a welcoming timber-clad entrance porch. Inside, the hallway leads to several generously proportioned rooms that are rich in character. The airy sitting room boasts soft blue walls and elegant cornicing, offering a tranquil haven but could benefit from modernisation to suit contemporary tastes.<br><br>The dining room mirrors this spaciousness with its front-facing bay window and traditional fireplace. This area can easily adapt for various uses—be it a family room or additional sitting area—with some reconfiguration.<br><br>At the back of the house, the kitchen has practical light wood cabinetry and black-and-white flooring. While functional in its current state, there’s significant scope for an upgrade or complete redesign to create a more modern culinary space.<br><br>On the ground floor are two store rooms with excellent potential; one could transform into a utility or hobby room while the other manages household necessities neatly. A convenient cream-tiled W.C. complements this level. <br><br>Upstairs includes two double bedrooms and a box room suitable for storage or conversion into a small office. The main bedroom features built-in storage but also offers opportunities for expansion or optimisation of space.<br><br>The expansive rear garden presents an inviting canvas for gardening enthusiasts or those seeking outdoor leisure areas; it is fully enclosed with mature shrubbery ensuring privacy. A greenhouse already exists on the property, adding further value for avid gardeners. Additionally, the detached garage provides extra storage options or could serve as a workshop space.<br><br>With 112 square metres of living space enriched by historical charm and possibilities for both internal and external enhancements, Morven is not just a home but an investment opportunity within walking distance of local amenities in Tain and accessible routes to Dingwall and Inverness.
