Charming Three Bedroom Highland Cottage With Multi Fuel Stove And Countryside Views Near Lairg

Set within the rolling rural countryside, this traditional Highland cottage enjoys open views and a peaceful setting that perfectly suits those looking for life away from the rush of town living. Built around 1900, the property is laid out across one and a half storeys and blends classic cottage character with practical everyday living.

A stone retaining wall marks the front boundary while the surrounding garden grounds extend to the front, side and rear of the home. These areas are mainly laid to lawn with paved sections and are enclosed by timber and wire fencing as well as natural hedging. The setting here is particularly appealing, with wide open countryside forming the backdrop around the property.

Stepping inside, the entrance hall provides access to the main ground floor rooms. White painted walls keep the space bright while grey vinyl flooring runs underfoot, offering a durable and easy to maintain finish.

The kitchen is the first room along the hallway and here you’ll find traditional wooden cabinets that are paired with light grey laminate worktops. White square tiles line the walls around the cooking and preparation areas with the rest of the walls painted a light cream. A matching cream coloured composite sink sits beneath the window allowing natural light to fall across the workspace. There is space beneath the counter for laundry appliances or a dishwasher with space to the side for a freestanding cooker. The grey vinyl flooring continues from the hallway into the room.

The living room sits further along the hall and provides a comfortable central space for relaxing. Wooden flooring adds warmth underfoot while the walls are finished in soft cream tones. A floral wallpaper feature wall frames the fireplace with a multi fuel stove positioned within a dark wooden surround. An alcove sits beside the fireplace with a cupboard below and shelving above, creating useful storage and display space. A wide window at the front of the room looks out towards the surrounding countryside.

The bathroom can be found on the ground floor and includes a white suite with toilet, basin and bath. A shower is fitted above the bath with a screen fixed to the side. The flooring continues the same wood style seen in the living room and matches the wooden panels on the side of the bath. A frosted window with a deep sill allows natural light into the room while maintaining privacy.

The staircase, which sits directly ahead from the front door, leads to the first floor and is covered with a thick grey carpet that continues across the landing. Upstairs you’ll find three bedrooms.

Bedroom one is a large double room with clean white painted walls and the same grey carpet underfoot. The room stretches offers plenty of space for a bed and additional furniture. A built in cupboard provides useful storage while a radiator on the internal wall keeps the room comfortable.

Bedroom two is another good sized room finished with white walls and matching grey carpet. Built in wardrobes run along one wall, hidden behind sliding wooden doors and providing plenty of storage space for clothes and other belongings.

The third bedroom is also a double and is decorated with light purple painted walls. A tall window with a deep sill allows natural light into the room while a radiator sits near the door providing warmth.

Heating for the property is provided by the multi fuel stove located in the living room which feeds a back boiler supplying radiators throughout the house. The system also provides domestic hot water, with a hot water cylinder located within a cupboard in the front bedroom. An additional electric immersion heater is also installed.
