The Old Bank House was built in 1893 by the
County Clerk of Sutherland, John Leslie. He incorporated offices for himself and a bank. The house is a handsome well-presented sandstone family home offering just under 4,200 sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over two floors with period features including high ceilings and fine cornicing throughout.

The property offers the prospective purchaser

house ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall accessible from the
garden aspects and includes a spacious sitting

appliances, space for a sizeable dining table, a
door to the side aspect, a rear hall/utility area
with useful cloakroom and access to the garden.
The ground floor accommodation is completed
by a spacious, at present self catering area,
comprising private entrance into a reception hall, large sitting room with feature fireplace, fitted kitchen/diner with range cooker and a utility room. From the hall there is a bedroom with large en suite bathroom with spa bath and walk-in spa shower and a walk in wardrobe.

From the main house garden entrance door
through a wide archway there is an elegant late
Victorian staircase in pitch pine which leads to
the first floor letting rooms. This offers a large
principal bedroom with double aspect windows
and en suite with Jacuzzi bath and separate
walk-in shower. Three further bedrooms with
en suite bathrooms. A second staircase from
the ground floor leads to a rear aspect study/
bedroom with en suite shower.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
