A substantial and distinctive property set in a conservation area on a quiet street, with no passing through traffic, and a short walk to town and the famous Royal Dornoch Golf Club.
This delightful property is beautifully presented and has been thoughtfully upgraded whilst retaining many period features including original pitch pine woodwork throughout, original doors, fireplaces and working original servant bells in bedrooms, sitting room and dining room.
Golf View was built in 1895 by the famous John Sutherland, Secretary of Royal Dornoch Golf Club for fifty years, as well as Dornoch Town Clerk. Sutherland is widely credited with putting Dornoch and the golf club on the map as a prime vacation destination and obtained Royal status for the Golf Club. (see photo of sculpture of John Sutherland at Golf Club). He lived in the house until his death and it was then occupied by his daughter until her death when the current owner purchased it.
The house enjoys a south facing, elevated position commanding views across towards the Struie golf course and Firth.
Generously proportioned and bright accommodation laid over two floors, with the main living accommodation set on the ground floor. On the first floor are three nicely proportioned and bright bedrooms, including master with attached dressing room and a family bathroom.
In addition to the open fires, the property benefits from oil fired central heating, controlled by thermostat and a Raeburn in the kitchen. Externally, the property sits in a very private, fully enclosed garden, with a large back garden, which has been beautifully landscaped.
There is additional ground opposite the property which leads down to Castle Street via a well maintained path and concrete steps. Prospective buyers seeking a traditional family home or vacation home will be impressed with the generous accommodation and extensive garden grounds. Golf View is located in the town centre and is within short walking distance to all amenities. Only by viewing can this property and its unique features be truly appreciated.
Unique exterior features include stone Scottish thistles at the top of three gables in front and heard shaped flues in all chimneys.
