Burnside Cottage, Baligill, Thurso, Sutherland
Offers Over £260,000
3 bedrooms.
Occupying an enviable plot this traditional croft house with rear extension and detached stone-built steading with attached boot room is situated in a peaceful and serene location. Privately nestled at the end of a no-through road, the property is beautifully presented and enjoys far reaching views to the surrounding countryside, rugged coastline and sea. Spread over two floors, the cottage offers tasteful accommodation throughout, along with an excess of features that all add to the appeal of the property including double glazing, solid cherry wood flooring, contemporary light fittings, solid fuel heating and a standby generator system. The property opens into the hallway which has the advantage of storage facilities, and attractive fitted shelving to recess. The living room boasts French doors that open out to the front garden and provides space for cosy
evenings indoors, which are to be enjoyed in front of the large multi-fuel stove. This room is open plan to the stunning kitchen/diner which offers views to all elevations, having French doors and patio doors to each side elevation, triple windows and three velux windows, flooding the room with natural light. The kitchen itself boasts tasteful solid oak shaker style units in olive green with solid wood work tops and integrated goods including a Bosch dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. A Rangemaster range cooker with induction hob is also available under separate negotiation. An impressive custom fitted contemporary bathroom and double bedroom with views to the garden (currently utilised as a family room) completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the landing leads to a convenient cloak room with WC and two double bedrooms, both having deeply silled dormer windows with views to the surrounding countryside. Outside is a detached steading and boot room which, subject to suitable planning consents, could be utilised for a variety of purposes, perhaps appealing to the extended family or those looking for a rental or Airbnb opportunity given the close proximity to the popular NC500 route. There are attractive garden grounds, and a good-sized gated gravel drive which offers parking for several cars, continuing around
to the rear and side of the property offering an excellent area for outdoor dining, hosting friends and family, and enjoying the
fantastic vistas. Only a 20-minute walk to Strathy beach, and within a comfortable commute to Dounreay and Thurso the property is in move in condition and would make an excellent family home. A perfect and idyllic Highland retreat, a haven for nature lovers, fishers, walkers, beach-goers or for simple relaxation. Viewing is highly recommended.
