Five-bedroom former croft house situated in a rural position within easy driving distance of Dornoch and Rogart. In need of upgrading and modernisation.
99 Knockarthur is a spacious former croft house which is in need of modernisation and upgrading and has the potential to make a delightful family home. It benefits from the original wood paneling and traditional croft house features. The property has been extended to the side and front to provide extra living accommodation.
A track leads to a gate to the enclosed front garden. A UPVC door leads to the entrance porch which in turn takes you to the hallway and doors open to the living room and bedroom 1. Stairs rise to the upper floor.
The living room sits to the left of the hall and has a window to the front overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. There is an open fire on a tiled hearth with a cast iron fire inset and a wood surround. A door leads to the kitchen.
The kitchen has storage cupboards and an oil-fired Rayburn which serves the heating and hot water. There is a door to the front garden and to the rear of the kitchen is a useful utility room housing a washing machine and tumble dryer, a pantry and separate WC.
Returning to the hall and bedroom 1 is a double room with views to the front and bedroom 2 is a single room which sits to the rear, this room could be utilised as an office if working from home.
The staircase rises from the hall to the remaining bedrooms. Bedrooms 3 and 4 again are double rooms with coombed ceilings and bedroom 5 is a single room. Completing the internal accommodation is the bathroom which has a three-piece suite in white comprising wash hand basin, WC and bath.
The property has a grassed area to the front, a patio and a graveled planting area which is fully fenced. To the rear is a sloping bank which is laid to grass. There is parking for several cars.
A right of access will be granted from the public road to the south over the area tinted blue. The surrounding owner occupied croft extending to 9.73 acres will be available to purchase at a later date.
Note
The extension to the front is of non-traditional construction.
The extension to the side contains some asbestos.
This property has come back to the market due to the length of time it is taking for the Crofting Commission to respond to enquiries. Therefore, we are now selling the decrofted house without the croftland which forms Croft 99.
The ownership of the surrounding croftland will be offered to the buyer of 99 Knockarthur if or once it is successfully separated from the associated common grazing share. The purchaser will be provided the opportunity use the surrounding croftland for no cost until the issue of the croftland has been resolved.
