Description

This substantial stone-built residence, set within a conservation area of historic Tain, offers a prime opportunity for renovation enthusiasts. Positioned on a corner plot with views overlooking the picturesque countryside and the Dornoch Firth, the property retains many original features that could be beautifully restored. It comprises three spacious double bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, dining room, and sitting room, all situated in a generous garden that includes a stone outbuilding. Upon entering through an entrance porch and original arched door, you are welcomed into a hall featuring high ceilings and elegant architraves. The sitting room showcases exposed floorboards and an attractive fireplace, while the dining room boasts original coving and large windows inviting natural light. The kitchen serves as a blank canvas awaiting your personal touch to transform it into a modern hub. With plumbing already in place for appliances and an existing boiler system (though currently non-functional), this space has significant potential for enhancement. On the first floor, you will find three sizable bedrooms, each offering lovely views and character with their original fireplaces still intact. The bathroom is spacious yet requires modernisation. Surrounding the home is an expansive garden complete with a stone boundary wall and various landscaped areas that can be revitalised. Overall, this property is not just a home but a project waiting to unfold; its historical charm combined with its renovation potential makes it an attractive investment opportunity in this charming town.
