Description

Nestled amid a beautiful country garden in rural Ross-shire, this delightful old stone farmhouse is a great choice for small families looking to explore this picturesque area.

The house is surrounded by wide lawns and mature flowering shrubs and borders, and provides ideal accommodation for a country holiday in a lovely quiet setting. The house has been in the same family for over a hundred years, and the current custodians have retained its original charm while updating the facilities to modern standards.

The farmhouse is situated just off the lane in the hamlet of Midoxgate, while the small village of Fearn is ½ mile farther along. There are lovely country walks direct from the property and numerous places of interest in the area.

The pretty seaboard villages of Balintore and Shandwick, with their wide sandy beaches, attractive harbours and pretty stone cottages, are just 5 minutes’ drive away. The house is also close to the renowned North Coast 500 route.

Golfers are spoilt for choice, with traditional and well-known links courses at Royal Dornoch, Tain, Golspie and Brora. Wildlife is abundant in the area. Deer, pine marten, rare osprey and red kites are all seen locally, and dolphins, seals and porpoises can be spotted along the coastline.

The region is also an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Cycling, hill walking, fishing, horse riding, sailing, canoeing and surfing are all enjoyed locally. Within 10 minutes’ drive lies the oldest Royal Burgh of Scotland. Predominantly built of local mellow sandstone, Tain is a charming historic town and offers an excellent selection of small shops, restaurants, cafés and pubs, as well as a wide variety of sporting and recreational facilities.
