Property description
Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to market this superb period home, rich in character and charm. This wonderful two storey, stone and slate-built home offers excellent family living as well as the opportunity to extend the current living accommodation. Formerly the Post Office for the village of Bower, this exceptional home has a lot to offer.
Adjoining the side of the property are attractive stone-built outbuildings over two floors. Internally the house accommodation consists of an immaculately presented lounge with beautiful period features as well as a multi fuel stove. The dining room also has window shutters, an attractive fireplace as well as a drop down light fitting which creates a focal point within the room. The fitted kitchen boasts good quality oak base and wall units and has been designed to maximise storage space. There is also a spacious family bathroom which features a bath with a shower above as well as the utility room.
Upstairs, the first staircase leads to the beautiful family room and two tastefully decorated bedrooms. Back downstairs, to the right of the rear hall, a door leads to the spacious outbuildings and a second staircase leads up to the first-floor landing where there are two beautiful bedrooms.
Externally the grounds extend to five acres and include a stunning orchard garden as well as a secret garden, where roe deer and birds of prey frequently roam. Incorporated in the grounds are landscaped gardens as well as a polytunnel and woodland. The grounds are stock proofed and there are also two timber stores which provide storage. A burn runs along the rear of the garden within the property boundary, and waterbirds can be seen in this part of the grounds. Sheep and cattle are also a common sight in the surrounding fields. A garage completes the accommodation and a generous off-road drive can also be found to the front of this superb home.
We understand that the stoves are vented into double-skinned stainless steel flue liners within the original chimney breasts. The walls were externally insulated in 2016 and the roof was insulated in 2002.
Bower is situated within easy driving distance from the towns of Wick and Thurso, where there are the usual amenities and excellent range of national and local shops. Bower has its own primary school and community hall. The property is on a bus route with daily services to Wick and Thurso.
