Easter Golford House, Auldearn, Nairn, Highland, IV12

Easter Golford House is an elegant detached traditional house (previously called Scuan) located in a stunning rural setting near Brodie. Sitting in an elevated position on the eastern end of a small row of other similarly attractive houses, the house enjoys a wonderful outlook across open countryside, the Moray Firth and on a clear day, the hills of Sutherland beyond. Likely to date from the late 1800s and constructed of stone under a slate roof, extensive accommodation is provided over two storeys, including on the ground floor a vestibule, hallway, a magnificent drawing room, dining room, morning room / snug, study, cloak room, inner hall / study area, shower room, cloak room and boot room. On the first floor, a landing leads to two separate shower rooms, an attic room / 5th bedroom and four principal bedrooms.
The house is very tastefully decorated and has a lovely bright and airy atmosphere. It has many of the features one would hope to find in a property of this age and quality including tall, corniced ceilings, fireplaces (with two wood stoves) and an attractive staircase with a carved handrail and ornate cast iron balusters. The flexible room layout allows the house to be used in a variety of ways with the dining room or potentially the rear study offering themselves as additional ground floor bedrooms if required. The triple aspect drawing room, morning room, dining room and kitchen are particularly appealing rooms. The house is heated using oil central heating and is mainly double glazed.

GARDEN
Outside, there is a generously sized garden enclosed by a mature hedge and stone wall. The garden includes a gravelled driveway and turning circle, areas of lawn, well stocked beds and borders and several mature specimen trees. There is large double garage providing excellent storage space.
