Traditional Coastal Cottage With Sea Views, Rear Extension And Detached Garage

Located on the shoreline in the coastal village of Hilton, 12 Lady Street is a traditional mid-terraced cottage full of character and warmth. Extended to the rear and offering a flexible two-bedroom layout, this home is ideal for buyers seeking a peaceful lifestyle near the sea.

The cottage sits behind a low white-painted garden wall with pink trim, enclosing a small paved front garden that gives the home a neat and welcoming feel from the wall. Inside, a soft brown carpet runs through the hallway, leading you through the ground floor.

The living room is a comfortable space with light cream walls, soft blue carpet and a large front-facing window that fills the room with natural light. The open fireplace, set in a traditional stone surround, brings warmth and character, while the crisp white internal trim, door, cornicing and skirtings, adds contrast.

Flowing from the lounge, the kitchen runs along the rear of the house and is fitted with traditional white cabinets, long thin decorative handles and grey speckled worktops. White square tiles line the splashback areas and the kitchen includes a stainless steel sink, built-in electric hob, integrated oven and microwave and has plumbing and space for a dishwasher. At the far end of the room, a glazed back door and small adjacent window look out to the rear garden and helps to keep the space bright and airy.

Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom, painted in a soft blue tone with patterned blue carpet and a window. Dark wood skirting boards and a matching cupboard door add a classic touch. The room offers space for a double bed, wardrobe and additional furniture.

The shower room sits off the hallway and includes a toilet, wash hand basin and a generously sized shower enclosure fitted with a Mira Vie electric shower. Inside the cubicle is a fold-down wall seat and a fixed handle for added support. The floor is finished with large cream tiles.

Upstairs, a carpeted staircase leads to the first-floor landing, opening into a bright attic-style double bedroom. Painted entirely in white with sloped ceilings to either side, this is a peaceful retreat with soft blue carpet and a window that frames lovely sea views, making it an ideal place to wake up each morning. Adjacent to this room is a box room with sloped roof, offering a useful extra storage area that could double as a walk-in wardrobe.

To the rear, the garden is laid with paving and has a timber shed which is perfect for storing garden tools or bikes. Across the road lies a further garden area and a detached block-built garage, offering secure storage or space for a workshop or hobby use. The garage is of generous size, with scope for reconfiguring to suit individual needs. Land beyond the garage runs gently to the sea line.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful seaside retreat, a compact home with outdoor space or a character property you can personalise, 12 Lady Street offers excellent potential in a tranquil Highland setting, just a short drive from the wider amenities of Tain.
