Description

This property offers a unique opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom de-crofted house alongside approximately 54.64 acres of picturesque croft land in the scenic Highlands. The main residence features a light-filled lobby that leads into a welcoming reception hall, which connects to two versatile reception rooms. One of these rooms serves as a home office, potentially convertible into a fourth bedroom, while the well-presented sitting room boasts a south-west-facing window that captures attractive views and includes a cozy fireplace. The kitchen is well-equipped with fitted units, an American-style fridge freezer, and integrated appliances, along with ample space for dining. On the ground floor, there are two double bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, and a family bathroom featuring a large shower unit, as well as a separate WC adjacent to the rear porch. The upper level offers a generous bedroom with skylights and access to a large attic storage area. Adjacent to the main house is a former traditional croft house currently serving as a garage/storage room, which presents potential for development, subject to necessary consents. The property also includes a traditional stone outbuilding used for storage and a modern steel portal framed shed with an additional lean-to extension. The surrounding croft land is divided into three well-proportioned paddocks and is classified as Grade 3.2 by the James Hutton Institute, making it suitable for grazing. Located approximately three miles from Muir of Ord, this property is close to beautiful open countryside and the Beauly Firth. The village offers essential amenities, including shops, cafés, and schools, while Inverness is just eight miles away, providing further shopping and leisure options. The area is well-connected by road and rail, with Inverness Airport within a half-hour drive.

27out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom detached house offers a well-maintained interior and spacious living areas, making it an inviting option for those looking to invest in a property with potential. The modern kitchen, equipped with quality appliances, and the comfortable bedrooms enhance the appeal, while the scenic location adds to its charm.

However, the asking price of £390,000 translates to £274/sqf, which is significantly above the local average of £217/sqf, making this a dear option in terms of value. While the property is in good condition, the opportunity for substantial value addition appears limited due to the pricing. The overall opportunity score reflects this imbalance, but the house's flexible spaces and attractive garden provide a solid foundation for a project that can still yield benefits with thoughtful renovations.

Key opportunities

  • Spacious and flexible interior layout suitable for personalization
  • Well-kept garden area perfect for outdoor activities
  • Potential for development with adjacent traditional croft house

Key risks

  • Asking price is significantly above local £/sqf, limiting value potential
