14 Church Street was formerly a shop, and the two properties have been cleverly combined and fully refurbished to create a wonderful family home with beautiful views of the Cromarty Firth.

 

Thomas Jones, an agent with Galbraith in Inverness, said: “14-16 Church Street is a distinctive residence with stylish and well-appointed interiors and a flexible layout. There is substantial accommodation for modern family living and the design is a perfect blend of the old and new. There is the potential to use part of the ground floor as an annexe for visitors or perhaps as a holiday let, subject to the necessary consents. The location, within walking distance of the beach and in the heart of Cromarty, is also highly desirable.”

 

14-16 Church Street has well-proportioned accommodation spread over three floors, including two reception rooms and six bedrooms, (one with dressing room and one with en-suite shower room). Many of the beautiful original features such as cornicing, fireplaces and internal joinery, have been retained.

 

A two-storey extension added in 2018 houses a contemporary open plan kitchen/dining room plus a light-filled family room on the first floor, which has framed views of the Cromarty Firth. Accessed from the family room is a decked roof terrace which overlooks the rear garden, and also within the extension is a vaulted-ceilinged bedroom and a laundry room.

The layout on the ground floor includes a bedroom and en-suite shower room, accessed through the sitting room which has been used in the past as an annexe for visiting family. This section of the house has the potential (subject to the necessary consents) to be used as self-contained holiday accommodation if desired. An original external door could easily be reinstated to provide a separate entrance.

 

There is also a lovely rear garden with flowering borders, lawn, patio and useful workshop.

 

Church Street lies within the heart of the Cromarty Conservation Area in the former fishing town of Cromarty, a charming mix of meandering lanes, fishermen’s cottages and substantial houses on the Black Isle peninsula. The town has a good range of amenities all within walking distance of Church Street including shops, primary school, cafes, restaurants, a Community Cinema and the harbour with its ferry to the north side of the firth. Inverness, about 40 minutes’ drive, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.
