Glenaldie House lies close to the historic Royal Burgh of Tain on the Tarbat peninsula in Easter Ross. The handsome house sits in established grounds, protected by mature hedging and woodland and with framed, south-facing views over arable farmland. The property has been unoccupied for two-and-a-half years and both the house and grounds are now in need of renovation. However, the house has many original features and the grounds retain the structure of the formal gardens and so offer a wonderful opportunity to restore a traditional country property.The Tarbat Peninsula is a promontory lying to the north of Inverness between the Dornoch and Cromarty Firths. The area is popular for its dry climate, wonderful coastal light and fertile farmland culminating in a coastline of sandy beaches dotted with historic fishing villages. This varied landscape offers many opportunities for a wide range of rural sports and recreation, while the coastline has a series of links golf courses, the most famous of which, the Royal Dornoch Championship Course, is a short drive from the house. Tain has a good range of shops and amenities including a railway station and schooling up to secondary level. Inverness, just less than an hour’s drive away, has all the facilities of a modern city including its airport with regular flights to the South and Europe.Glenaldie is a handsome traditional country house with spacious and well laid out accommodation. The property has been in the same family for many years and, although now in need of renovation, retains traditional features such as its two storey tower, well-proportioned rooms, beautiful woodwork, ornate plasterwork and original fireplaces. There have been some recent improvements carried out including the installation of a number of double glazed windows and conversion of the scullery and outhouse to a garden room with disabled access shower room.
