One and a Half Storey Detached Cottage With NEW Fixed Price

Spacious coastal cottage close to Cromarty Firth, full of traditional features

Boasting a spectacular location which includes the coast, woodland, and fields, Rose Cottage is situated in the beautiful hamlet of Barbaraville, close to Invergordon.

This delightful property is a fabulous example of a traditional coastal home but benefits from being just set back far enough to benefit from a position that is sheltered from the weather.
Built in 1900, Rose Cottage has all the features one would expect with a property of this age: slate roof, coombed ceilings, thick exterior walls, and wood burning stove. Inside, the aesthetic is contemporary but relaxed, retaining the natural finishes and a soft colour palette that emphasises the sense of warmth and light.

The entrance hall is dominated by a strikingly finished staircase, which echoes the wood used in the joinery throughout. The living room is very generous and features a wood-burning stove and open-plan access to the fabulously light-filled dining area, which gives access to the garden via French windows.

The U-shaped kitchen maximises the space with cabinets in a wood finish that creates a contemporary, airy feel. This is an attractive space that offers a great deal of room and is practical and elegant.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has lovely views, and is large with has a generous built-in wardrobe and full-height ceiling.

The smaller bedroom features a built-in cupboard and a coombed ceiling, which is desirable in period properties. Despite being the second bedroom, it is extremely generous and offers plenty of scope for furnishings and different uses.

The family bathroom is a lovely example of a cottage bathroom, decorated in light colours and with a bath with shower over, a WC and a wash hand basin. There is a pretty, deep-set window above the bath.

Finally, the landing is a delightful space with wood-lined walls, balustrade, and deep display shelving, with practical storage space behind it.

Outside there is a large, enclosed garden laid with lawn and block paving. There is a patio area and ample room for off-road parking.

Rose Cottage is a beautiful property, and we expect it to be a popular addition to Hamish Homes’ portfolio. Couple that with its fabulous location while being close to services in Invergordon, Dingwall and Inverness, and being in one of the most desirable areas of Scotland, this property offers a wonderful opportunity as a home for a young family or a comfortable retreat for a retired couple.
