Description

Nestled in the charming town of Tain, this captivating villa, known affectionately as Ros-Mhor, offers a unique blend of scenic beauty and architectural elegance. Standing majestically within substantial well-maintained grounds, the villa overlooks the pristine waters of the North Sea, providing a serene and picturesque backdrop.

Ros-Mhor was designed and constructed with a nod to the Scottish baronial style, which is evident in its grandiose structure and thoughtful layout. The villa offers flexibility in its use; it is suited not only as a sumptuous family home but also holds potential for a guest house or holiday letting, thanks to its versatile and spacious accommodation.

Entering through the castle-style front entrance, one is welcomed into a large entertaining hall, which features a stove with an exposed flue that stretches to all upper floors, creating a cozy yet open atmosphere. The ground floor hosts a majestic lounge/drawing room with an open fireplace and large windows that frame the tranquil sea views. An impressive conservatory/greenhouse extends from the lounge, further enhancing the home's connection with its natural surroundings.

The family kitchen, a true heart of the home, is equipped with an Aga, a separate large hob, and a central island—ideal for family gatherings and culinary explorations. Adjacent to the kitchen, the utility room leads to a practical boot room which provides internal access to the first floor.

The first-floor features what could be considered an internal annex, including a lounge/study area, a thoughtfully designed bathroom with jack-and-jill access, and a large bedroom with an external door opening onto a parapet walkway. The home's remaining four bedrooms, including a master bedroom with a secretive large en-suite, are tastefully laid out to maximize comfort and privacy. The family bathroom and an upper landing/piper gallery area with a balcony round out this floor.

Topmost, the third floor reveals another lounge/study area adjacent to a spacious family room lit by Velux windows, offering a quiet retreat within the home.

Ros-Mhor's external features are just as impressive as its interior. The gardens are impeccably kept, with stunning sea views and ample outdoor space for relaxation and entertainment. The property also includes a large integrated double garage and substantial parking area.

Living in Tain offers a wonderful blend of coastal serenity and community spirit. The town itself provides all necessary amenities including shops, healthcare facilities, and schools, making it an ideal locale for families. The area is rich in history and culture, with plenty of activities to engage in, from coastal and country walks right on your doorstep to exploring ancient ruins and local distilleries.

Tain is also well-connected with transport links to Inverness and beyond, ideal for those seeking to balance rural tranquility with the convenience of nearby urban centres.

For the enthusiast with a vision, Ros-Mhor represents an enticing fixer-upper opportunity. While in good condition, the villa would benefit from modernizing touches to enhance its utilities and aesthetics. Potential buyers might consider this a wonderful project where they can infuse their personal style into updating this already incredible property.
