Arthurville House is a handsome, semi-detached house on the outskirts of Tain on the Tarbat peninsula in Easter Ross. Formerly part of the local Poor House, the whole estate has been redeveloped and designated a Conservation Area and Arthurville House is now a property of significance within the cluster of houses.The Tarbat Peninsula is a promontory lying to the north of Inverness between the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths. The area is popular for its dry climate, wonderful coastal light and fertile farmland culminating in a coastline of sandy beaches dotted with historic fishing villages. This varied landscape offers many opportunities for a wide range of rural sports and recreation, while the coastline has a series of links golf courses, the most famous of which, the Royal Dornoch Championship Course, is a short drive from the house. Tain has a good range of shops and amenities including a railway station, and schooling up to secondary level in a new campus with leisure facilities. Inverness, less than an hour’s drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe.Arthurville House is a substantial traditional property with well laid out accommodation. Although now in need of some modernisation, the house retains original features including wrought iron railings on the boundary wall, parquet flooring and the handsome staircase, while the open setting allows the house to fill with coastal light.
