A Character Cottage in The Heart of Dornoch

1 St Gilbert Street sits in the centre of Dornoch, within the conservation area where traditional stone cottages line the street and the town’s history is felt in the fabric of the buildings.

Positioned just a short walk from the cathedral, shops and shoreline, the property places everything Dornoch offers within easy reach.

Dornoch itself remains one of the Highlands’ most sought after towns, known for its coastal setting, strong community and the internationally recognised Royal Dornoch Golf Course.

This two bedroom semi detached cottage offers a compact and characterful home arranged across two levels.

Entry is from the street into a hallway, with the main living spaces located on the ground floor and bedrooms above.

The sitting room provides a comfortable and enclosed space, centred around an electric fireplace and offering a place to relax within the traditional structure of the house.

To the rear, the kitchen and dining area is well proportioned, fitted with modern units and designed to function as both cooking and dining space.

The layout is practical and straightforward, making good use of the available footprint.

A shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, arranged in a clean and functional style.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms sit beneath coombed ceilings, each offering a quiet and private space within the cottage.

The rooms look out towards the street and surrounding area, maintaining that sense of being part of the town rather than removed from it.

Externally, the garden extends to the rear and side, rising up in sections with a mix of patio, grass and established planting.

Stone retaining walls and steps give the space structure, creating a series of levels that offer both interest and potential.

The setting is a key part of the appeal.

From the front door, Dornoch’s shops, restaurants, schools and coastline are all within walking distance, making this a home where daily life can be lived locally.

For buyers seeking a character property in a central Highland town, 1 St Gilbert Street offers a rare opportunity to be part of Dornoch itself.

The property is being marketed by Paul Coutts Estate Agency, with full details, photographs and viewing information available through the official listing.
