Banscol, IV28 3YF

Nestled within the breathtaking surroundings of Strath Brora, Banscol Cottage is a charming and substantial detached Highland farmhouse occupying an exceptional position with approximately 38 acres of croft land and direct frontage to the River Brora. Combining character, privacy and outstanding lifestyle appeal, this unique property also offers excellent income potential in one of the Highlands most picturesque locations.

The main house offers bright, well-balanced accommodation arranged over two floors, ideally suited to modern family living. The spacious lounge/dining room enjoys doors opening onto the garden and is centred around a wood-burning stove, providing a warm and inviting space to relax throughout the year. The welcoming kitchen features a central island, AGA and direct access to the gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A separate snug offers excellent flexibility as a second sitting room, home office or reading room, while a fourth bedroom could also serve as a study. A contemporary shower room completes the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom with a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure. A large loft, accessed from the landing, provides excellent additional storage.

A particular highlight of the property is the detached bothy, offering superb ancillary accommodation. Designed as an open-plan living space incorporating a kitchen, lounge and sleeping area, together with an en-suite shower room, it presents an outstanding opportunity for holiday letting, guest accommodation or independent living for extended family members.

In addition, a substantial timber outbuilding provides excellent workshop space or further storage.

Externally, Banscol Cottage sits within approximately 38 acres of croft land, with the River Brora forming a stunning natural boundary. The grounds surrounding the property offer exceptional privacy and endless opportunities for outdoor pursuits, equestrian or smallholding use, or simply enjoying the tranquillity and beauty of the Highland landscape. Around 20 acres of the wider croft have been forested as part of a carbon emissions reduction scheme, making those areas less suitable for livestock or traditional crofting. Further details on the forestry scheme are available on request.

Situated in the heart of Strath Brora, the property enjoys a peaceful yet accessible location within one of the Highlands’ most scenic glens, renowned for its rolling hills, riverside walks and abundant wildlife. Banscol Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful Highland home with extensive land, sought-after river frontage and excellent income potential, all within a truly exceptional natural setting.
