A FORMER Black Isle church, converted into a “spectacular” four-bedroom home, is now on the market for offers over £500,000.

East Wing Tower House on Station Road in Avoch has been featured on BBC Scotland’s Home of the Year, with unique features such as triple-height rooms and a spiral staircase.

Despite many luxury features such as a solid quartz kitchen worktop, a dressing room, a woodburning stove, a snug/library and full height windows, the house has a low Energy Efficiency rating of grade F.

As explained by the property listing, East Wing Tower House has previously been run as an award-winning holiday home.

The property listing states: “East Wing Tower House is stylishly presented and oozes character. It is fully modernised to a high standard whilst retaining many original features. Only by viewing can you appreciate the light, space and character of this exceptional home.

“The main public room is a spectacular triple height, light-filled room with full height windows at either end and an impressive spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.”

However, it can be seen in the property’s home report that “there is evidence of dampness to the wall living within the cloakroom/WC gable.”
