The Old Post Office is a detached five-bedroom residence situated in the village of Clashmore, Sutherland, offering a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. With its spacious layout and substantial grounds, this property holds considerable potential for those looking to create a family home or capitalize on its investment possibilities.
The house features two levels of accommodation that can be transformed to meet modern standards. The ground floor welcomes you with a bright entrance porch leading into an inviting lounge equipped with a wood-burning stove, providing warmth and character. The kitchen, although in need of updating, is functional with wall and base units, splashback tiling, and plumbing for essential appliances—including a Rangemaster cooker. A utility room adds convenience with additional plumbing for laundry needs. This level also includes two sizeable bedrooms; one currently serves as an office space, along with a shower room.
On the upper floor, you’ll find three further double bedrooms providing ample space for family or guests. The bathroom features essential amenities but presents an opportunity for redesign according to personal taste.
Externally, the property sits on approximately 0.33 acres of garden grounds characterized by mature trees and shrubs that not only enhance privacy but also create a serene environment. Included are multiple outbuildings such as a large wooden garage featuring a mezzanine floor—ideal for storage or workshop use—and ample off-road parking enhances accessibility.
Notably, the property benefits from expired planning permission for an additional dwelling, highlighting its potential for further development (reference: 19/04554/FUL). This could represent an exciting avenue for investment in this picturesque area.
Clashmore itself is steeped in history and closely associated with Skibo Castle. Nearby Dornoch offers various amenities including shops, restaurants, golf courses, and educational establishments—all within easy reach. Furthermore, the sandy beach adds to the region's allure as both a residential area and tourist destination.
Overall, The Old Post Office provides a rare chance to invest in property within an appealing locale while allowing you to tailor renovations to your vision and requirements.
