Countryside cottage for sale requires a buyer with serious grit

An international home for sale is awaiting a major transformation.

The property at 45 Stuart Street in the village of Ardesair in Inverness, Scotland, is “currently uninhabitable” with graffitied walls, holes in the roof and peeling walls.

Listed on Rightmove and Auction House Scotland, the cottage is described as a “residential development project” with the potential to “create a stunning family home”.

The price guide may appeal to buyers at £75,000 ($AU142,189).

Called Woodbine Cottage, the home consists of an original stone dwelling with the addition of north and south wings.

Gardens are located at the front and rear, and there are upper floor balconies.

The property would suit buyers with a grand vision and who are willing to roll up their sleeves.

Listing photos reveal overgrown weeds in the front garden, graffitied walls, holes in the roof, peeling wallpaper and exposed electrical cords.

Tape is holding up cabinet doors in the kitchen and there are mounds of leftover belongings in the various rooms.

The location is considered a major drawcard on the listing, referencing Ardesair as a former fishing village on the Moray coast, east of Inverness in Scotland.
