Property Description

Character and charm combine in this spacious 1½ storey semi-detached home in Tain, just minutes from its town centre. Once part of the 1850s poorhouse complex and originally used as the kitchen building, “Rhiannon” still bears subtle marks of its past including markings worn into the stone and it’s name etched above the front door. Converted into private housing in the 1980s, it now offers a rare opportunity to transform a historic building with traditional stone construction and timber detailing into a comfortable and truly individual home.

Stepping through the timber entrance door, you’re greeted by warm-toned wooden flooring that runs through much of the ground floor. The entrance hallway is lined with convenient open shelving, perfect for displaying books, photos or storing everyday essentials. The bold sunburnt orange wall colour adds personality and richness from the outset.

At the heart of the home is the generous lounge, where a stylish wood-burning stove sits on a raised hearth, creating a natural focal point within the space. Built-in shelving lines either side of the fireplace and patio doors in a timber finish open to the front of the property, allowing light and air into the space. There’s ample room here for varied furniture configurations, even a family dining area as is currently arranged. The light green wall tones offer a calm backdrop to this sociable and adaptable room.

The kitchen sits to the rear, offering a large traditional layout with wooden cabinets and grey laminate worktops. A distinct L-shaped section provides a practical area for everyday appliances, while the main space includes room for a freestanding cooker and ample storage. Décor combines bright yellow upper walls with dark coloured patterned wallpaper below, adding a vintage charm, and the wooden flooring continues seamlessly through from the hallway.

Just off the kitchen, the compact study provides a valuable flexible space. Painted yellow with a patterned carpet and sloped ceiling, this room could be easily adapted into a small downstairs bedroom, a playroom or a private home office.

Upstairs, the landing gives way to two comfortable double bedrooms. Each has a sloped ceiling and a Velux-style rooflight window for natural light. One room features soft yellow walls and grey carpet, while the other has grey-painted walls and a darker patterned carpet, with enough space for full bedroom furnishings.

Also on the upper floor you’ll find the bathroom, set beneath a sloped ceiling with a Velux-style rooflight bringing in natural daylight. The white bath sits along one wall, fitted with an electric overhead shower and a sleek glass screen for added practicality. A modern green cabinet houses the basin, providing discreet storage for essentials, while the toilet is positioned neatly beside it. Two separate vertical towel heaters completes the space, helping to keep the room warm and comfortable all year round.

Externally, the home includes a small front garden with paving and mature shrubs and a side section with further planting and trees. While compact, these areas could be shaped into peaceful, low-maintenance outdoor spaces to suit modern lifestyles. An attached external store sits to the side, ideal for housing tools or outdoor gear.

With solid traditional construction, timber-framed windows and heating powered by a modern oil boiler, Rhiannon offers a strong foundation for buyers ready to update and personalise. While there is scope for modernisation throughout, the potential is evident; this is a home that could evolve into a one-of-a-kind residence full of character and comfort.

Whether you’re seeking a long-term home with history and individuality, or a rewarding renovation project in a well-connected Highland town, this property presents rare potential. Tain’s many amenities and nearby A9 links make this a convenient base and with the right vision, Rhiannon could become something very special. Set on a quiet private road with its own parking, the home benefits from a peaceful, neighbourly setting free from through traffic. For easy navigation, the property can be found by using the what3words location: ///shopper.obstruction.hairspray.
