Barkly Street lies within a conservation area in the former fishing town of Cromarty, a charming mix of meandering lanes, fishermen’s cottage and substantial houses on the popular Black Isle. The town has a good range of amenities all within walking distance of Barkly Street including independent shops, a general store, a primary school, as well as cafes, restaurants, a Community Cinema and the harbour with its ferry to the north side of the firth. Secondary schooling is available at Fortrose Academy to which a bus runs. Inverness, about 40 minutes’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the south and Europe.The Moorings is a category ‘C’ listed house which dates circa mid-19th century. Once two terraced cottages, number 6 and number 8, the properties were believed to be converted into a single dwelling as far back as the late 19th century. With two front doors, entrance halls, landings and internal staircases, the accommodation has a charming layout and although requiring modernisation offers versatility in how the rooms could be used and offers potential for subdivision subject to gaining the relevant permissions. The kitchen extension and the conservatory, both overlooking the garden, were added by the current owner, who purchased the property in the 1990’s. The replacement garage, incorporating an internal store, was erected around 2006.
