The Property
Situated in the peaceful village of Gillock, this lovely rural retreat would make a superb family home. Accommodation comprises three bedrooms, study, two bathrooms, lounge, utility room, kitchen/diner and garage. The kitchen/diner is particularly impressive with its exposed beams and the house contains other modern features such as the combined sauna/steam shower in the second bathroom. The exterior of the property has as much potential as the interior with an enclosed garden to the rear and three outbuildings. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this property.
The Area
The quiet peaceful village of Gillock is in the centre of the County of Caithness and is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The wide open spaces and the abundance of flora and fauna make it the perfect place to relax. Wild life such as osprey, buzzards, curlews, peawits, house martins and foxes can be seen. The county has a focus on agriculture, crofting, fishing and tourism. The county also has a unique archaeological history.
