This traditional yet modern house is situated only 100m from the Royal Dornoch championship golf course and 200m from the Square; which is the heart of Dornoch with its shops, bars and restaurants.
After enjoying holidays in Dornoch every year for over 20 years we decided to build a house ourselves for holidays and later retirement.
It had to be stone and reflect the character of the street, but we also wanted a modern home and plenty of light. The front half of the house was built using stone from an old barn on the site, and has traditional features such as internal shutters and sash windows. The back half is more modern, and has a good sized lounge joining the kitchen / diner.
Being a new house it is very well insulated and triple glazed. It has oak finishing throughout and an oak and granite kitchen.
The downstairs bedroom and large shower room is suitable for people who find stairs a challenge, and there are easy ramps on the outside doors. The utility room has a washing machine and tumble dryer, with plenty of space for walking boots, fishing gear or golf clubs and the door leads directly out towards the golf course. Upstairs there are two twin bedrooms and a bathroom.
The house is built to a high environmental standard for comfort and low energy consumption. Heat recovery ventilation warms incoming air, electric heating and underfloor heating in the bathrooms give a pleasant environment. Solar heating of water reduces the hot water energy consumption. For non-car users, there is a shed for 2 cycles in the garden, and a regular non-stop coach to Inverness parting from the Square
Outside there is a partly covered patio ideal for afternoon tea, looking onto the raised beds planted with bilberries and heathers – inspired by the mountain top flora. There is also a lawn and off street parking for 2 cars at the back.
