About this property
Free Presbyterian Manse sets the scene for a classic Highland holiday, where wide skies, rugged landscapes and salty sea air shape your days. Resting in the scenic village of Kinlochbervie, this generous detached house offers space to spread out, striking mountain views and easy access to some of Scotland’s most dramatic coastline. Whether you are tackling stretches of the NC500, walking sections of the Cape Wrath Trail, or simply slowing the pace and soaking up the surroundings, this is a place that invites memorable time together. At the heart of the house, sociable living spaces make gathering easy after days spent outdoors.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area is a natural hub, warmed by a log burner and well equipped for hearty breakfasts and relaxed evening meals, with a ceramic hob, oven and grill, washing facilities and a dishwasher ready to handle muddy boots and coastal layers. Nearby, a welcoming sitting room centres around an open fire, perfect for long conversations as the light fades, while a further lounge offers a quieter corner with a large sofa bed and a library feel, ideal for reading, games or additional sleeping space when needed. A sun room opens onto the side garden, catching the changing light throughout the day, and a ground-floor shower room adds everyday practicality.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable retreats at the end of the day, including three doubles and a twin, all served by a family bathroom with an overhead shower. The layout works equally well for families or groups of friends, offering flexibility without sacrificing space or privacy. Outside, the grounds wrap around the house, giving you room to enjoy the fresh Highland air. The enclosed front garden features a pond and seating area for quiet moments, while the rear space offers plenty of room for children to play or for simply enjoying the view with a morning coffee. Private parking is available, and plans for the garage include a games room, drying space or secure bike storage, ideal for outdoor-focused breaks.
From Kinlochbervie, the surrounding area opens up into some of the Highlands’ most awe-inspiring scenery. Oldshoremore Beach is famed for its white sand, turquoise waters and sweeping views, with walking routes leading towards the wild beauty of Sandwood Bay. Kearvaig rewards adventurous walkers with dramatic cliffs, the historic Kearvaig Bothy and unforgettable photographic viewpoints. In Durness, explore the vast chambers of Smoo Cave, wander along Balnakeil Beach, or browse the craft village for locally made goods and produce. Free Presbyterian Manse offers more than just a place to stay, it is a fantastic Highland base for coastal exploration, long walks, fireside evenings and shared holiday moments in one of Scotland’s most striking settings.
Situated in the far north west of Scotland, Kinlochbervie is the most northerly of all the fishing ports and boasts a large fish handling depot from where catches are dispatched throughout Europe. Because of this the roads in the surrounding area are first class! The area has a stunning rocky coastline which attracts many visitors throughout the year. The village itself has a well-stocked shop, a post office and hotels and restaurant that are open all year round. From here it is easy to access both Oldshoremore Beach and the more famous Sandwood Bay Beach which some claim is the most beautiful beach in Britain!
