HOUSE AND CIRCA 7.8 ACRES OF CROFT LAND
Strathview is a nicely positioned croft house with gardens and circa 7.8 acres of croft land located in the picturesque Strath of Kildonan on the edge of Helmsdale
Strathview enjoys an elevated position and magnificent views of the local countryside and beyond. The property provides flexible accommodation over two levels and would appeal to a variety of buyers including those looking for a piece of tranquillity amongst some of the finest Highland scenery, holiday retreat,
Bed & Breakfast or as a small holding. The house and garden are both decrofted. The property comes with 7.8 acres of croftland which is located nearby. The crofts consist of two large fields located between the road and the riverside around half a mile apart and are currently used for grazing. There are also further small pockets of land one of which has a derelict cottage.
Entrance to the property is via the porch which is currently used as a sun room. This leads to the inner hallway and well proportioned lounge with a Victorian style open fire creating a nice focal point. The dining kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base storage units, Raeburn Royale and a set of French doors open up onto a timber decked patio area. Bedroom one is located on the ground floor and has an en suite shower room. On the upper level there are a further two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
As well as the croft land, Strathview sits in nicely tended private garden grounds which are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of plants, trees and shrubs. There is also an additional area of garden directly in front of the property.
Situation
Helmsdale is a delightful Highland town which was developed as a fishing port in the nineteenth century by the Duke of Sutherland. The planned village, which was started in 1814, remains intact and by 1819, 204 fishing boats were based in the harbour. Other industries included a distillery and a carpet factory. Today
only a few boats operate from the harbour however Helmsdale remains a most attractive town with good local shops and facilities. Sutherland is one of Scotlands most beautiful counties with spectacular landscapes ranging from the rugged coastline to wild moorland and mountains. Communications in this very unspoilt
part of Scotland are surprisingly good. The A9 gives fast access by car to Inverness and its airport (1 hour 45 minutes) whilst Wick Airport is 36 miles to the north and provides regular flights to Edinburgh and Glasgow and other UK destinations where connections to Europe and the USA are available. For those wishing to travel at a slower pace there is a railway station in Helmsdale with regular services to Inverness, Thurso and Wick.
