The House

Set within the Easter Ross landscape, surrounded by mature gardens, native woodland and Highland wildlife, Sloibcoyle Croft is a beautifully presented south-facing croft house occupying a private and elevated position above a substantial trout burn running through the grounds below.

Totally private and tucked into its own landscape, the original croft house has been carefully developed over time, allowing old and new to sit comfortably alongside one another. There is an unassuming quality to the interiors, where craftsmanship and considered materials add warmth without losing the character of the original house.

At the heart of the home is a wonderfully welcoming country kitchen, complete with an AGA and traditional stable door. Designed for everyday living as well as entertaining, connects naturally with the principal reception spaces. Beyond, bespoke fitted bookcases, individually handcrafted to follow the contours of the original stonework, with Kährs flooring and Pooky lighting adding a quieter contemporary layer. Leading through, a cosy and inviting sitting room centres around a substantial Charnwood Island III stove, creating an impressive focal point and a warm retreat throughout the year.

The bespoke Mozolowski & Murray Conservatory has been designed as an extension of the original architecture rather than simply an addition to it. Its combination of glass and slate echoes the adjoining porch, while the pitched roof takes its cue from the dormer windows above. Bespoke hardwood windows and internal and external doors continue that attention to detail throughout. In addition to the principal reception rooms, the property benefits from a superb living room complete as its own 'Whisky Snug' with wood burning stove, providing an atmospheric setting for gatherings with family and friends.

The accommodation is both extensive and flexible, arranged in an attractive L-shaped configuration that creates a natural flow between the living and bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom suite occupies a private position on the ground floor and benefits from an en suite bathroom, while two further bedrooms are served by a family bathroom within the opposite wing.

Two additional attic bedrooms provide further guest or family accommodation, ensuring the house is exceptionally versatile.

The Setting

Nestled amongst the mature trees is a separate bespoke Mozolowski & Murray garden room, designed to echo the croft and settle quietly into its surroundings. As the landscape falls away towards the burn below, the building takes on an almost treehouse-like quality, with large glazed doors framing the water and woodland. It is a wonderfully versatile space — somewhere to work, read, entertain or simply sit with the doors open and listen to the burn.

Extending to around two acres, the established grounds create a series of distinct places to discover and enjoy. Woodland, ponds, quiet seating areas, fire pits, outdoor cooking spaces and a Scandinavian wood-fired hot tub sit naturally within the landscape, while pathways lead to secluded areas beside the water.

A separate insulated gym, office and store building, together with a carport, sheds and extensive storage, provides valuable flexibility for home working, hobbies and the practicalities of country life.
