Description

This historic stone residence, known as The Schoolhouse, is situated in the conservation area of Tain, offering expansive views over the Dornoch Firth and the surrounding countryside. While the property retains many original features such as high ceilings, deep architrave, and fireplaces in each of the three double bedrooms, it requires significant modernisation to fully realise its potential. The house includes a sitting room with exposed floorboards and a dining room showcasing original coving, both inviting spaces for renovation. The kitchen presents a blank canvas ideal for personalisation and enhancement. A large garden with mature trees and a stone outbuilding adds to the appeal and could be developed further to create outdoor living spaces. With careful updating, this property could transform into a charming family home in a sought-after location that benefits from local amenities including schools, shops, and transport links.
