Nestled on a hillside, this charming two-bedroom cottage offers stunning panoramic views over the verdant glen and the Kyle of Sutherland. With its original character intact, the property also boasts considerable renovation possibilities that could enhance its appeal. The inclusion of a spacious stone barn/workshop provides a unique opportunity for conversion into additional living space or a business venture, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions.
Upon entry through the sun lounge, you are greeted by long double-glazed windows that frame the picturesque scenery. This welcoming area transitions into a hallway leading to all main rooms. The interior features classic tongue-and-groove paneling and neutral decor that provides an inviting base for any design updates.
The lounge is comfortably sized, featuring a Calor gas stove set on a polished slate hearth, ideal for cozy evenings. A traditional alcove with inset lighting enhances the charm of the room, while a window seat offers both comfort and captivating views over the landscape.
The open-plan dining area and kitchen hold potential for modern upgrades while retaining their rustic charm. A traditional stone fireplace remains as a central feature, currently housing an electric stove, while the kitchen includes essential appliances and ample storage space. The layout allows for easy reconfiguration to suit contemporary living styles.
Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms are characterized by coombed ceilings and natural light from Velux windows and south-facing dormers. Each bedroom offers built-in storage solutions and distinct character elements like exposed stone fireplaces, making them perfect candidates for modernization.
The bathroom is functional as it stands but could benefit from contemporary updates to maximize comfort and style.
Outside, the property is encircled by a quaint country garden with mature planting and stone walls, creating terraced areas ideal for outdoor relaxation or gardening enthusiasts. The stone garage provides additional storage options or can serve as a workshop space.
Situated in picturesque Sutherland countryside, this cottage enjoys proximity to local amenities found in Bonar Bridge and Lairg, with additional services available in Tain. Its location is not only tranquil but also conveniently positioned near attractions such as The Falls of Shin Visitor Centre, making it an appealing retreat with significant investment potential or renovation opportunities for those looking to create their dream home amidst stunning natural beauty.
