Imposing eleven-bedroom country house set in grounds extending to approximately 22 acres in a tranquil and peaceful location near Halkirk in Caithness, in need of refurbishment and modernisation

Banniskirk House offers the unique opportunity to purchase this imposing country house. The property is in need of refurbishment and modernisation. The current owner has been undertaking continued maintenance of the property with significant roofworks being undertaken including ridging, guttering and lead work, insulation being installed and the electrics being tested.

The property does have oil central heating and is double glazed. The property retains many original period features throughout. The rooms are spacious and bright with plenty of natural light.
Within the property there is an entrance vestibule to the main hall.

There is a drawing room, sitting room, dining room and snooker room. Also, on the ground floor there is a kitchen which has unused kitchen units and appliances and snug. An inner hall leads to a boiler room, utility room, garage and WC.
A grand staircase leads to the first floor which has ten bedrooms, a linen store, two bathrooms and a separate WC.

A small staircase takes you to the second floor where there is a further bedroom and store.

External
A sweeping driveway leads to the front of the house where there is parking for several vehicles.
The garden grounds are extensive with an area of native woodland to the front. To the side is a large walled garden which is overgrown but was formerly a productive fruit garden.

The main garden is mainly laid to lawn with a dilapidated pond area in the centre.

There is a second area of lawned garden which sits away from the property and this was the former campsite. There is a block-built building which has been upgraded and is now used as a workshop, this is the old shower block and could easily be restored to this.

This area is also an ideal pony paddock or could be used for hobby farming.

To the side there is a stone steading which has two storerooms and a gardener’s toilet. This is a former stable and could be used as such again.
