Sitting within a conservation area, The Old Slipway is a distinctive double fronted property providing over 2,300 sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged in an upside-down configuration over four levels, designed to maximise stunning views over the Moray Firth.

Avoch is a traditional fishing village on the south side of the Black Isle which, in addition to being ideally located for exploring the Highland region, offers a good range of day to-day amenities including local shopping, takeaway restaurants, a church and popular primary school with secondary schooling available at Fortrose Academy. The Black Isle is a sought-after area with a hotel, restaurants, a supermarket and a wide range of recreational facilities including an 18-hole golf course, sailing and bowling clubs and a leisure centre located in Fortrose. More extensive shopping and leisure facilities can be found in the Highland Capital of Inverness, Communications links are excellent: the nearby A9 links to the north and south. Inverness train station offers regular services to major regional centres and central London and Inverness Airport is less than 20 miles away

The property is approached over a low-maintenance paved front garden enclosed by low-level walling, an ideal spot from which to enjoy the panoramic views over the Moray Firth. A paved side aspect path gives access to the enclosed garden to the rear which features a raised area of gently-sloping lawn with a greenhouse and steps rising to a large garden shed with a paved terrace and panoramic views over the Moray Firth. Accessible from the dining room, the garden also provides a large wraparound paved terrace, ideal for entertaining and outside dining.

The property benefits from an area of hardstanding for three cars on the opposite side of the road with direct access to the water’s edge.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    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
