A rare opportunity to purchase a converted village school (built 1859). Now a 4 bed house occupying elevated position in the seafront village of Saltburn in the Scottish Highlands

Description

This detached, (predominantly) stone property was built around 1859 as the village school. Over the years it was extended and latterly became the Village Hall. In the last 12 months it has been converted into a high spec well proportioned 4 bed family home. The work has been supervised by a local firm of surveyors who will provide a Professional Consultants Certificate (an acceptable alternative to an HBNC Guarantee).

The property has been thoroughly renovated and is in walk in condition. There is a new slate roof (including replacement trusses and breather membrane) to the main living area; a new metal roof and Douglas Fir timber cladding walls to the east extension; and an existing slate roof and new Douglas Fir cladding to the west extension. There is a new high specification composite front door, double glazed UPVc back door, double glazed windows (except in living area which has retained original refurbished wooden windows) and four high level double glazed roof lights. It has been modernised to meet current Building Standards requirements (very well insulated); completely rewired (with new distribution board fitted); and re-plumbed with all new domestic and central heating system piping. The original combination boiler and radiators (installed in 2013) have been re-used. The property boasts a new kitchen, bathroom, two en-suites, and new internal doors, mdf skirting and architrave throughout.

Property consists of:

Entrance hallway to the front of the building with two cupboards housing electric meter and GCH boiler leading to:

A contemporary open plan living/dining room/kitchen (11 x 5.4mtrs overall) with cathedral ceiling (containing roof lights) and 3 windows overlooking the front garden and views to the Cromarty Firth, Sutors and Black Isle. This room benefits from a multi fuel stove sitting on a slate hearth with open flue to the roof providing an impressive focal point.

Kitchen – the kitchen has a good selection of base units (including pull out corner baskets) complimented by a partially tiled/glass splash back, breakfast bar, integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, double oven and 5 ring electric ceramic hob.

Utility room - space for washing machine and tumble drier and wall units over the worktop. Back door leading to side garden which is laid to grass and secure (safe for children/animals).

Bed 1 (4.4 x 3.2 mtrs)– master with windows looking to the back of the property and two double wardrobes. En-suite with twin headed mains powered shower, underfloor heating and window.

Bed 2 (4.3 x 3.4 mtrs) - with windows to the side garden and large double wardrobe. En-suite with twin headed mains powered shower and under floor heating.

Bed 3 (2.8 x 4.7 mtrs) – with window overlooking side garden and a fitted wardrobe.

Bed 4 (2.9 x 3.6 mtrs) - with window overlooking driveway and a fitted wardrobe.

Family Bathroom (3.6 x 1.9 mtrs) - L shaped bath (over bath twin headed mains powered shower), twin wash hand basins and multiple cupboards.

Laminate flooring throughout.

Easily maintained garden at the front laid mainly to grass with mature trees/shrubs and parking area for two cars. Further parking for 1 car by the front door. Secure side garden which leads to good sized integrated shed (could easily be converted into a home office with totally separate entrance from house). Saltburn beach, a woodland walk, a tennis court and a children's play area are a two minute walk away.
