2 Bedroom Detached House

This beautifully converted semi-detached home, originally built in 1816, boasts a prime location just steps from Helmsdale harbour, offering serene views of the sea and beyond. With its blend of traditional features and contemporary finishes, this property provides an idyllic setting for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle by the sea.

Entering the property through the conservatory, you are bathed in natural light in a large space fit for your favourite resting furniture. From here you can take in the stunning views around you. From there you visit the heart of the home, the spacious sitting room. A multi-fuel stove takes centre stage, creating a cosy atmosphere while the neutral tones and soft carpeting add warmth to make it an inviting area to unwind or entertain guests.

The modern kitchen is a striking combination of deep blue cabinetry and white marble-effect worktops, complete with integrated appliances and a sleek built-in hob and extractor. The current layout includes a dining area, making it a functional space for both cooking and gathering. The clean, white walls enhance the kitchen’s fresh and airy feel.

Off the sitting room, the primary bedroom offers ample space, a large window for natural light and the luxury of an en-suite bathroom. This private retreat features a bath, a separate shower cubicle and elegant fittings throughout. A second good-sized double bedroom is accessed through the kitchen, providing flexibility for guests or family members. The contemporary family shower room, designed with modern aesthetics in mind, features a sleek, tiled shower cubicle with contrasting black trim, adding a touch of sophistication to the visually stunning stylish electric shower.

A separate utility room ensures that household tasks are kept neatly out of sight, with plumbing for various appliances such as a washing machine and dishwasher.

Outside the property has a lawned area to the front of the property, and a low maintenance gravel garden area to the back.

NB: The large grass area to the rear of the property does not belong to the property, but has been maintained by the present owner and used by them.

The other part of the property can be found on the first floor which is accessed by an external stone staircase. The large space offers tremendous potential and is currently being used for storage. With the necessary permissions, this space could be transformed into additional living quarters or a self-contained flat, giving the new owner a variety of options to explore. It is understood that the property is a category C Listed Building and was recently converted from commercial to residential use.

Harbour House is more than just a home; it’s a lifestyle. With its immaculate, walk-in-ready ground floor and the opportunity to expand and personalize the first floor, this property presents a rare chance to create your dream coastal haven in a beautiful, historic setting.
