4 bedroom detached house

Midhill House has arguably the best view on the Black Isle, enjoying an elevated, private position, and far reaching views over the village of Fortrose. The orientation and design of the property floods the house with sun and natural light, but also emphasises the views, which are simply breathtaking; jewel like colours from the Moray Firth, views over Chanonry Point and beyond down the coastline to Inverness.

The property started off as a humble croft house and has been lovingly extended and transformed into a wonderful family home.

The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance porch with quarry tiled flooring and comprises an extensive L-shaped open plan kitchen, sitting and dining room with stunning far-reaching views. The kitchen provides a range of units, wooden worktops, a Rayburn, separate range cooker and a useful neighbouring utility room with a door to the garden. The remaining dual aspect beamed space, configurable to the purchaser’s own requirements, features an exposed stone wall with a raised fireplace with woodburning stove, space for a sizeable dining table and full-height glazing incorporating three sets of patio doors to the front and side aspects. A generous home office, a rear aspect double bedroom with built in storage and a contemporary shower room, complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor provides three further double bedrooms, a dressing room, modern family bathroom and separate contemporary family shower room together with a large 18 ft. music
room, suitable for use as a fifth bedroom if required.

Fortrose offers a good range of day-today amenities including local shopping, a small supermarket, Post Office, library and chemist together with a wide range of leisure activities including a leisure centre, sailing club at Fortrose Harbour and a golf course set on the long shingle and sand Chanonry Ness spit heading out into the Moray Firth towards Chanonry Point, renowned for its dolphin watching opportunities. More extensive
shopping and leisure facilities can be found in
