A light and airy detached house set in a magnificent position beside Loch Fleet and within view of the ancient ruins of Skelbo Castle. The property offers well-presented living accommodation which takes full advantage of its stunning setting, offering views across the water, while also being within easy reach of everyday amenities and facilities at Dornoch.

The Property
Skelbo Castle Cottage is an impressive four-bedroom detached property offering light-filled accommodation arranged over a single level. The interior combines attractive living spaces with character features such as wood panelling, while full-height windows frame stunning views across the water.

The main reception room is the generous, 24ft long sitting room, which benefits from a dual aspect with windows to the east and west, looking towards the Skelbo Castle ruins and the open waters of Loch Fleet. The room has a handsome open fireplace and sliding glass doors opening onto the rear patio. There is also a formal dining room with space for a family dining table, while the kitchen is fitted with wooden units to base and wall level, an integrated oven, gas hob and extractor hood, as well as affording space for all the necessary appliances.

All the bedrooms are well-presented, including the dual-aspect principal bedroom, which enjoys splendid, far-reaching views. Two additional bedrooms benefit from built-in storage, while a fourth bedroom opens onto the sunny porch. With its panoramic windows, ceiling lantern skylight, and direct access to the patio, this versatile space could also serve as a conservatory-style seating area. The property further benefits from a family bathroom and a separate shower room, which also functions as a utility space with plumbing for a washer and dryer.

Outside
At the entrance to the property, five-bar wooden twin gates open onto the gravel driveway, which provides parking space and leads to the rear of the house, where there is access across the lawn to the large detached garage for further parking, storage or workshop space. The garden has an area of patio across the back of the house, which is the ideal setting for al fresco dining, while there is a lawn beyond, bordered by hedgerows and post and rail fencing, with views across the waters of Loch Fleet beyond in one direction, and Skelbo Castle’s 14th century ruins in the other.
