Brae Cottage - A traditional stone built cottage in need of renovation to take it in to the 21st century. The property could be updated to a cosy Highland Cottage or extended for family living (with appropriate planning consents). The house would need to be taken back to the stone walls and a new layout created within the walls.

There is no Home Report for this property as it is uninhabitable in its present condition. From the surveyor ' where the way the home is marketed suggests it is unsuitable for occupation in that condition. There is little point in a condition survey being undertaken on a home that is unfit for occupation in any case, and is being advertised as such.'

Location - Brae Cottage sits nestled in the hills of Sutherland, nearby a stream/burn with an abundance of wildlife on the doorstep. The single track road is infrequently used, and provides a route between The Mound (A9) and Bonar Bridge. The villages of Golspie 6 miles north and Dornoch 8 miles east have all the local amenities. Tain 14 miles south has major supermarkets.

    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
