Description

This is a home designed to make the most of its remarkable surroundings. Sitting within three acres of gardens and grounds, in the peaceful countryside near Lybster, The Old Barn enjoys uninterrupted views across rolling farmland towards the coastline.
Approaching the property, the sweeping gravel driveway leads to the detached home with its integral garage and generous parking area. Stepping inside, the entrance vestibule leads into the inner hallway, where the quality of the home immediately becomes apparent with solid timber finishes, bright neutral décor and a welcoming atmosphere that continues throughout.
Positioned at the front of the home is the study, giving you the perfect spot for a home office or quiet reading room. White walls combine with grey wood effect flooring, while a large window fills the room with natural light.

The living room has large windows on two sides which frame the surrounding countryside from multiple angles. Grey carpet adds warmth underfoot, while the flush multi fuel stove forms an impressive focal point, creating a cosy atmosphere during the colder months. Glazed double doors connect directly into the dining room.
The dining room provides you with a formal entertaining space with a continuation of the white painted walls and grey wood effect flooring. A radiator is positioned along the internal wall, while the size means you can comfortably accommodate a large table and chairs. A wide opening then leads naturally into the kitchen/family room.
The open plan family kitchen is another great social space where cooking and relaxing all come together. A built-in gas fire provides an attractive focal point within the family area, while a breakfast bar subtly separates this space from the kitchen. White cabinets are paired with dark wood worktops to create a timeless finish, complemented by a striking pink glass splashback behind the impressive double Range cooker which adds a splash of personality to the room. A white sink with modern flexi-hose tap sits beneath a window, while there’s space for a dishwasher under the counter.
Beyond the kitchen, the utility room continues the practical theme with additional storage, worktop space, laundry facilities and a further sink, making everyday household tasks easy to keep separate from the main living areas.

Completing the ground floor is the stylish shower room. The contemporary white vinyl flooring features an attractive black swirl design, while dark wet wall panels within the shower enclosure create an eye-catching contrast against the other white painted walls.
On the first floor, the master bedroom is incredibly spacious, with a sloping ceiling that features a large dormer window and additional Velux rooflights to keep the room bright throughout the day. An entire wall of mirror fronted wardrobes gives you outstanding storage facilities for clothes and personal belongings. The en-suite shower room continues the neutral styling with white walls, a corner shower enclosure, toilet, pedestal hand basin and a Velux rooflight bringing in natural daylight.

Bedroom two is another impressive double room, with sloping ceilings that enhance the character of the space. A large window looks across the surrounding countryside with a radiator positioned below. The third bedroom is another generous double, also decorated with white walls and a light coloured carpet.
The family bathroom is spacious and practical. A bath sits along one wall, while a pedestal wash basin is alongside beneath the velux window. On the opposite wall, a separate shower enclosure provides additional convenience, creating a room well suited to busy family life.
The property benefits from double glazed uPVC windows and doors, LPG central heating and fire, smoke and heat detection systems.

Extending to approximately three acres, the grounds include expansive lawns and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. A large decked seating area sits directly outside the house, the perfect place to relax in warmer times. Alongside the integral garage, the property also benefits from a detached timber garage and workshop, together with a separate timber summerhouse, giving you so much scope for hobbies and storage.
The Old Barn is within easy reach of Lybster's local amenities and the spectacular Caithness coastline, making it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to embrace country living without compromising on modern comfort.
