The house is approached by a private wooded drive which leads to a turning circle and parking area adjacent to the house. The main garden lies to the east of the house. There are beautiful herbaceous borders and Caithness stone walls. From the formal upper garden, the land drops away to the walled garden below,which has been a productive kitchen garden in the past.
The woodland is superb and provides privacy and shelter and boasts some magnificent, mature specimen trees and a burn (stream) flows through the woods; there are wooded walks throughout the grounds.
Oldhall House also has extensive outbuildings including three detached sheds, one lean-to shed and a greenhouse. The house also benefits from the lease of a plot of land adjacent to Loch Watten, which entitles the leaseholder to launch a boat on the loch for the purpose of trout fishing on some of the best water for trout fishing in Caithness.
The guide price is offers over £525,000. For further information please contact Savills on 0131 247 3717 or visit www.savills.co.uk.
