A Scottish coastal home situated above the Whaligoe Steps is now for sale — and it has a dramatic waterfall right on its doorstep.
Dating back to 1860, the five-bedroom property was originally a Herring Station with a cooperage and stables. Bought by the present owners for its glorious position and views, part of the ground floor was, until recently, a commercial kitchen, reception room and customer toilets known as the Whaligoe Steps Café and Restaurant.
Described by agents as an "opportunity to purchase a unique property", the home has a sprawling living room, two large reception rooms, a well-sized kitchen, utility room, five large bedrooms, two bathrooms, and quirky interiors. Having been recently renovated, new owners will also be pleased to know that all windows are double glazed and the heating system is oil-fired though a large Ecco Stove.
The real appeal of the home is its stunning waterfall, which flows dramatically from the cliffs to the sea below. Boasting breathtaking views, we imagine new owners will love coastal strolls just moments from their home. When you aren't rambling down below, there's also a main courtyard garden gated by brick walls and plenty of open green land within walking distance.
Estate agents said: "It has been mostly renovated to an extremely high standard. Though, some decoration to the west wing still remains for the new owner to enjoy. Viewing is absolutely essential to appreciate not only the uniqueness of this home but also the location, the breathtaking views and also the potential that it has to accommodate the wishes of any buyer."
Interested in this home? This property is currently on the market for £325,000 with Young Robertson.
