Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • A beautifully presented family home with Far reaching views over open farmland. Four Reception Rooms. Five Bedrooms. Comfortable accommodation retaining original features. Established (truncated)
  • About 0.29 hectares (0.71 acres) in all.
Old Manse is a handsome former Free Church manse on the edge of Avoch on the Black Isle, a peninsula which lies just to the north of Inverness between the Moray and Cromarty Firths. The house is in a private and sheltered setting with beautiful far-reaching views over wooded farmland.

Avoch is popular for its attractive coastal location and easy access to Inverness and has a number of shops, a hotel, primary school and harbour. Nearby Fortrose has further amenities including its secondary school, while Inverness, about a twenty minute drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.

The Black Isle has fertile rolling countryside with a beautiful coastline of raised beaches and prominent headlands. The area has many way-marked cycle trails and walks, while the coastal villages offer sheltered harbours and nearby Fortrose has a links golf course.

Old Manse was fully renovated by the current owners when purchased by them in the early 1990s and since then has been sensitively modernised and well-maintained.

The house retains many traditional features such as wooden floors, shuttered windows, and original fireplaces, while recent improvements include double glazing, the installation of wood burning stoves, exterior painting, and the addition of a Mozolowski and Murray conservatory, its bi-fold doors allowing the sense of space to extend into the garden.

The potential exists to create further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, both with the conversion of the second floor rooms from store rooms to bedrooms and the garden room extension at the rear of the house into a granny flat.

EPC Rating = E

    Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on May 2, 2022

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on May 2, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
