The Moorings is a category ‘C’ listed property with roots tracing back to the mid-19th century. Originally two terraced cottages numbered 6 and 8, this residence was later transformed into a single dwelling in the late 19th century. Its unique configuration includes dual entrances, providing potential for varied uses of space—ideal for creative renovations or even subdivision (subject to necessary permissions). While modernization is needed throughout, this property boasts an adaptable layout that allows for personalization according to individual taste.
The current owner added enhancements such as a kitchen extension and conservatory which both overlook the garden, creating inviting spaces for relaxation or entertaining. Additionally, there is a garage with an internal store that was built around 2006. Given its historical charm and prime location within Cromarty—a place well-regarded for its character—this property presents an exciting opportunity for investors looking to renovate or develop further in this desirable area. The potential here is significant for those willing to invest time and resources into revitalizing this distinctive home.
