The area has a number<br/>of way-marked cycle trails and walks, while the coastal villages offer sheltered harbours and<br/>Fortrose has a links golf course. The unspoilt countryside provides a haven for many rare<br/>and protected species of wildlife and Newmills is in an ideal setting from which to enjoy the<br/>best the area has to offer with beautiful walks direct from the house.<br/><br/>Cromarty is a former fishing village and is a charming mix of meandering lanes, fishermen’s<br/>cottage and substantial houses. There is a good range of independent shops, a small<br/>supermarket with post office, and primary school, as well as cafes, restaurants, a brand new<br/>Community Cinema and the harbour with its ferry to the north side of the firth. Secondary<br/>schooling is available at the highly-regarded Fortrose Academy and Inverness, about 30<br/>minutes’ drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular<br/>flights to the south and Europe.<br/><br/>The property was purchased by the current owners about 15 years ago and comprises a<br/>traditional farmhouse with an adjacent U-shaped stone and slate steading. The farmhouse has<br/>been partly renovated but is now in need of further renovation, however, it is extremely attractive and offers great potential.<br/><br/>EPC Rating = E<br/><br/>
