The Old School is a characterful detached property offering unique accommodation across two levels within an enviable setting with far-reaching views to Strathy Bay. The versatile property comes complete with a stone-built bothy and walled garden.

The entrance hall with its half wood panelled and painted stone walls sits alongside a useful store room. Further is a cosy sitting room area with bespoke fitted shelving, opening to the spacious open-plan living, dining area and kitchen. The striking space with its tall vaulted ceiling and mezzanine above has a handsome fireplace, exposed stone walls, with ample natural light and impressive views via picture windows of the beachfront and bay. There is plenty of space for dining and French doors opening to the south-facing terrace, whilst the kitchen comprises a range of modern cabinetry along with a handy walk-in pantry. Adjacent is a shower room.

The galleried mezzanine first floor with its glass balustraded walkway enjoys stunning elevated aspects and an airy feel, comprising a bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a seating area with an excellent vantage point.

The property benefits from an elevated position enjoying views to the rolling hills and the dramatic coastline. It is approached via a gravelled driveway and gate opening to the front terrace ideal for al fresco dining. From here is the walled garden and the charming bothy. Adjacent is an expanse of lawn with various shrubs enclosed via stone walls.

The picturesque village of Strathy boasts an award-winning beach, café and public house and sits a short distance from Melvich with its shop, Post Office, primary school and restaurant. Thurso is within easy reach, offering a wide range of further amenities. There is an airport and hospital in Wick, with convenient road and rail links via the A9 and Forsinard Station. Inverness offers a comprehensive range of facilities as would be expected from the main business and commercial centre in the Highlands.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    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
