End terrace house for sale in Mill Street, Dingwall IV15

Traditional Highland stone cottage with masses of potential

This spacious, whitewashed stone cottage is set back from the main road and has the convenience of a short walk to the town centre but is close enough to the outskirts to enjoy the more village-like feel that Dingwall is also known for.

Constructed in 1900, the cottage has the lovely entrance vestibule expected in a property of this age and type. Along with fielded panel doors, deep architraves, and tongue and groove panelling, 24A Mill Street retains many original features that make properties of this age so desirable.

A spacious living room offers a deep-set window with a view to the front of the house. Currently decorated in white and yellows, the space is suited to several new colour schemes, such as a nod to its past as a traditional country sitting room or decorated in light neutrals to create a contemporary living space.

The kitchen-dining room is a delightful space and is also generously proportioned. A beamed ceiling and plenty of light from the large kitchen window lend the space charm, further enhanced by the light-coloured walls and cabinets, and wooden work surface. Featuring a unique open fireplace in the dining area, this room provides much versatility should the new owner choose to remodel the layout.

A wood-lined sitting room is just off the kitchen. Accessed by steps this room is cosy and welcoming, with patio doors leading to a small porch and outdoor area. Again, it offers excellent future potential, whether remaining as a sitting room, or converting to an office, or even a conservatory, cloakroom or utility area, subject to any restrictions or planning requirements.

The winding staircase leads to a landing with interesting alcoves, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Each room, including the bathroom, has deeply coombed ceilings adding charm and attractiveness. However, all the rooms are generous and provide plenty of space for easy movement and furniture.

The principal bedroom is spacious and has a delightful shape with plenty of angles and corners, giving an intriguing feel to the room that can be captured to create a unique and appealing space. It has a built-in cupboard and, in keeping with the rest of the property, a deep window that offers good light. The area to the right of the window would make a comfortable seating area.

The second bedroom also captures a good amount of light, and has an attractive deep window with a nice view over the neighbouring property and green spaces. A third smaller bedroom also has plenty of space and has excellent potential as a guest room or home office.

Finally, the bathroom is very large. Despite its deeply coombed space, its depth means plenty of room for a complete bathroom suite and more. Currently fitted with white sanitary ware, the bathroom has much scope to remodel as a substantial bathroom with luxury fittings should the new owner choose.

24A Mill Street will require some upgrading, both decoratively and otherwise. But for whoever is fortunate enough to become the new owner, this property will offer them a considerable opportunity to create a fabulous home in an attractive and popular town.

About Dingwall

Located just 15 miles from the City of Inverness, Dingwall is a bustling market town that still retains many of the beautiful stone buildings that were a sign of its status during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.

This well-maintained town has a population of about 5,500. It has a lively high street that benefits from many independent shops, cafes and businesses, lending the centre an enjoyable place to visit both by locals and visitors. Many cultural attractions include a well-respected museum, castles and monuments nearby.

With the A9 bypassing the town, Dingwall is just far enough from the main routes to be still considered quiet but not so distant that it feels inaccessible. An easy 25-minute car journey through the lovely countryside and across the Moray Firth via the Kessock Bridge makes the commute to Inverness easily accessible and enjoyable. Alternatively, there are frequent trains and buses to the City and nearby Invergordon.

Dingwall has one secondary school, Dingwall Academy, and one primary school. There is a medical centre, dentists, and a leisure centre with a swimming pool and gym. There are several places of worship, supermarkets, and independent food stores.
