3 bedroom detached house for sale

Newmills House is in the scattered hamlet of Newmills on the Black Isle. The property is in a beautiful, sheltered setting and one of a cluster of traditional houses, with a burn running along one boundary and stunning, far-reaching views to Ben Wyvis from the rear.

The Black Isle lies between the Moray and Cromarty Firths and has fertile rolling countryside with a beautiful coastline of raised beaches and prominent headlands. The area has a number of way-marked cycle trails and walks, while the coastal villages offer sheltered harbours and Fortrose has a links golf course. The unspoilt countryside provides a haven for many rare and protected species of wildlife and Newmills is in an ideal setting from which to enjoy the best the area has to offer with beautiful walks direct from the house.

Cromarty is a former fishing village and is a charming mix of meandering lanes, fishermen’s cottage and substantial houses. There is a good range of independent shops, a small supermarket with post office, and primary school, as well as cafes, restaurants, a brand new Community Cinema and the harbour with its ferry to the north side of the firth. Secondary schooling is available at the highly-regarded Fortrose Academy and Inverness, about 30 minutes’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.

The property was purchased by the current owners about 15 years ago and comprises a traditional farmhouse with an adjacent U-shaped stone and slate steading. The farmhouse has been partly renovated but is now in need of further renovation, however, it is extremely attractive and offers great potential.
