A jaw-dropping mansion in the Scottish Highlands with a wealth of original features and even its own summerhouse has just gone up for sale in an amazing opportunity. It has been described by sellers as “an exceptional property”, and it is easy to see why.
Clashmore House is a seven-bedroom home in the idyllic hamlet of Clashmore in Sutherland. The property, which is found in a gorgeous setting surrounded by its own mature grounds, is currently on the market through Galbraith for offers over £775,000.
The property previously served as The Clashmore Inn, before being acquired by Skibo Estate at the turn of the 19th century—and remains protected by its proximity to the estate with its carefully managed parkland. It was later extended and improved for use as a family home.
The current owners purchased Clashmore House in 2023, and have since carried out major improvement and upgrade works that have made it an even more incredible place to live. Meanwhile, the former estate office as been converted into a luxury one-bedroom annexe.
The ground floor of Clashmore House includes an entrance porch, a reception hall, a drawing room, a dining room, and a billiard room. Completing the ground-floor accommodation are a conservatory, a study, a dining kitchen, a pantry, a utility room, a boot room, and a toilet.
The seven beautiful bedrooms can all be found upstairs and each offer plenty of space and incredible views out over the surrounding green space, while the first floor is also home to three bathrooms and an additional toilet. Elsewhere, the annexe has served as a successful holiday let since 2025.
Looking outside, the magnificent grounds extend to around one acre and are comprised mainly of mature gardens and mixed woodlands that provide privacy and shelter. To the front of Clashmore House is the main lawn that is bordered by shrub beds, while there is a former croquet lawn to the rear.
Also found in the grounds is a summerhouse and a partly enclosed former kitchen garden with a greenhouse. Overall, the property would be well suited to those who enjoy spending time outside as the garden grounds are both tranquil and breathtaking.
The nearby town of Dornoch is popular and has an active community, as well as a bustling town centre and high tourist numbers. It is renowned for its cathedral, its championship golf course, and the award-winning beach Dornoch Beach that offers miles of golden sands to explore.
Dornoch also provides a wealth of amenities, including a range of independent shops, acclaimed restaurants, and renowned schooling up to secondary level. The nearby settlements of Tain and Alness also have major supermarkets, while Inverness is a short distance away and offers all the facilities of a modern city.
Additionally, Sutherland is a perfect place to live for those who want to be surrounded by nature, with hills, moors, and dramatic mountains to explore. Also on offer in the area are fishing and shooting opportunities, while the stunning coast is dotted with islands and provides sheltered sailing.
Galbraith commented: “Clashmore House is a renovated country home in a charming hamlet near Skibo Estate, set within about one acre of mature grounds. It offers four reception rooms, seven bedrooms and two popular B&B rooms. A luxury one bedroom annexe provides successful holiday letting, Rich in original features, the property also includes outbuildings, a summerhouse and scenic walks directly from the house.”
The listing adds: “An exceptional property of some presence, the house has well laid out accommodation which is both very comfortable and of a manageable size. The current owners have sensitively modernised the interior to create a beautiful country house retaining many original features including the impressive staircase, paneling, tiling and intricate cornicing.”
