Stroma is a beautifully maintained bungalow set in the peaceful village of Edderton, near Tain, offering stunning views across the Dornoch Firth and towards the striking Dornoch Bridge. With a large, immaculately landscaped garden and a warm, welcoming interior, it makes an ideal base for a memorable Highland escape.
The grounds are a delight in themselves — a tranquil pond for relaxing beside with a morning coffee or evening drink, a lovely greenhouse, and generous garden space all around. Inside, the property is thoughtfully laid out for comfort and ease, with three spacious bedrooms, one with a private en-suite, and a modern family shower room.
The heart of the home is a bright, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, perfect for cooking and gathering after a day exploring the area. A separate utility room offers added practicality for longer stays. The large, welcoming lounge features a wood-burning stove — ideal for cosy Highland evenings — and patio doors lead through to a sunny garden room with panoramic views over the landscape.
