Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market, 'Summerbank House,' which was the ancestral family home of local sculptor, archaeologist and historian, John Nicolson. <br/> <br/>Passed down through generations this two-storey family home is steeped in history and occupies a generous garden plot, whilst being located close to the shore with sea views. This is the first time in several hundred years that this property which features the works of John Nicolson on the external façade with plaster sculptures has come to the market. <br/> <br/> Externally this family home has three adjoining outbuildings, one which is used as an office and the other is a block-built barn. Both of these structures benefit from light and power. Surrounded by panoramic views of the sea, as well as beautiful scenic views of the tranquil countryside, this character home has everything to offer. <br/> <br/>The main house internally is in good condition and features a Caithness flagstone staircase as well as porch that has exposed stone walls. There is a lovely open lounge which has a feature fireplace and cosy stove for those winters' nights in as well as a split kitchen which has some integral appliances. A spacious utility room provides storage for household appliances and also benefits from built in units. A useful shower room and Family Room complete the downstairs living accommodation. Upstairs is awash with plenty of natural daylight throughout and features a well-presented bathroom as well as two generous bedrooms, which benefit from storage and a further single bedroom can also be found. <br/> <br/>This is a wonderful family home in a superb location with outstanding views which needs to be viewed to appreciate what it has to offer. <br/> <br/>The Royal Burgh of Wick is the most northerly town on the East Coast of Caithness and is on the very popular North Coast 500 (NC500) tourist route. The town offers multiple stores such as Tesco, Boots, Superdrug, Argos, and B&M, as well as banks and a post office. The house is within easy driving distance of all amenities, including the hospital and doctor's surgery. There are many leisure opportunities, including a popular golf course, squash club, and public swimming pool/gymnasium. The town also boasts an airport with links to Inverness and Aberdeen and has good rail and coach services, as well as being close to ferry terminals with frequent daily services to Orkney. <br/>EPC - F <br/>C/T Band - D
