Traditional Coastal Home With Wood Burner And Exposed Stone Features In Peaceful Village Location

Positioned in the historic coastal village of Avoch, just a short stroll from the harbour, 3 George Street is a semi-detached period home with flexible living space, crisp white interiors and original character throughout. Currently empty and ready for immediate entry, the property offers a brilliant opportunity for first-time buyers, holiday home hunters or those looking to downsize into a coastal Highland location.

A timber door opens into the bright entrance hallway, where crisp white walls and wooden flooring give the space a clean, natural feel that continues throughout the home. To the left, the sitting room is both welcoming and characterful, with whitewashed walls and a painted exposed brick chimney breast that houses a striking black wood-burning stove. A simple wooden mantle above offers the perfect spot for displaying ornaments or framed photos.

The kitchen is compact but well thought out, with white cabinets and wood-effect worktops paired with grey slate tiled splashbacks behind the sink area. A stainless steel sink, electric oven and hob are all built-in, with space and plumbing for a washing machine. A small window brings in light, and the white walls keep things feeling bright.

Also on the ground floor is a stylish shower room, featuring modern wood-effect wetwall panels in a soft grey tone. A corner shower cubicle sits neatly to one side, fitted with an electric shower and enclosed by clean, modern panels. A contemporary circular basin in matte grey rests on a wooden-topped vanity unit, complete with cupboard storage below. A mirrored cabinet above the basin adds extra convenience, and a high-set window offers light and ventilation.

To the rear of the ground floor is a standout space – a versatile family room or optional third bedroom. This room blends white walls with an exposed stone feature wall and an original fireplace (currently unused), creating a beautiful balance of old and new. A deep-set window and skylight bring in natural light, while an open alcove with built-in white shelving adds useful storage. The wooden flooring and deep-set window create a bright, inviting feel, while the panel heater ensures comfort year-round. Whether used as a cosy second lounge, creative space or practical ground floor bedroom, the room offers real flexibility to suit your lifestyle.

A twisting staircase with white-painted sides and exposed wooden bannister leads to the attic floor, where the wooden flooring continues across a small landing and into two bedrooms. Both attic bedrooms are similar in layout, with dormer windows, sloped ceilings and white-painted walls creating a calming, minimal aesthetic. Electric panel heaters ensure the spaces remain practical as well as peaceful. With two double bedrooms on the upper floor, the home offers excellent separation of living and sleeping space, ideal for family life or visiting guests.

The property benefits from PVC double glazed windows throughout and a mixture of rear Velux and conservation rooflights. Electric heating is via wall-mounted panel heaters. There’s no garden to the rear, offering low maintenance living, but the village setting more than makes up for it. This is a home that offers character, location and potential in equal measure.

With Inverness, Dingwall and Fortrose all within commuting distance and local amenities available in the village itself, 3 George Street is perfectly placed for peaceful Highland living. Whether you’re looking for a first home, an easy lock-up-and-leave base, or an investment opportunity, this property is one not to miss.
